Choosing an oven

[catsrcool]

I need to replace my built in oven and I looking for suggestions/experiences on brand choice I am prepared to spend a maximum of £600. I am a big admirer of Samsung products and was considering these: http://www.samsung.co...c-ovens/BQ2Q7G078/XEU
http://www.samsung.co...c-ovens/BT621VDST/XEU
I don't see any reason why one should buy the first one over the second for an extra £200. Any help in navigating this minefield would help. Thank you in advance.

i would never have a built in oven. they need cleaning. I have a perfect kitchen with dishwasher etc and a stand alone oven. I throw it away when it is dirty-lasts for years-but don't want structure of kitchen to be ruined by built in non functional oven.

if you are buying an oven - pay the extra for the pyroclean feature - you'll never need to clean it - it cleans itself while you sleep and leaves a fine white ash for you to wipe out - brilliant

I like the first one.
When I'm buying anything like that I always read the reviews by people who have bought one and used it for a while. If it gets fewer than 4 out of 5 stars I don't buy.

i know I am tight but built in ovens are a waste of time.Food is burnt in there, fat is splashed around-we all know. Forget the built in and use a stand alone one.
PS I NEVER use my built in oven or hob! Ha!
