We have a Beko cooker that is about 11 years old, has a ceramic hob and two ovens with the fan oven at floor level. Top oven with grill hardly ever used in past 11 years. However a couple of months ago the front small hot plate gave up the ghost. This was followed by the larger rear plate on the same side. Those two are the most used plates. For a call out we are looking at about £190 which includes labour etc.
OH has decided that perhaps it is better to buy another cooker and that is where the fun starts. OH wants one with a single fan oven, no separate grill above the oven and with either ceramic or induction hob, but having difficulty finding such ovens. There may be some, but to us they are unknown brands and we would prefer a known brand.
Although we now have an air fryer that can replace the oven part of the cooker OH still prefers to use the fan oven for baking as air fryer is not large enough for a cake. OH may only bake once or twice a month. If we were to just buying a hob could an expensive option as cabinet, worktop etc required the work will need to be done by a kitchen fitter adding to the cost.
Not sure whether to go ahead with repair or try and satisfy OH and search for single oven?
