Stainless Steel double oven? Not Belling!

Toodlepip

Hi
I need to replace my Belling oven (which I wouldn't recommend to anyone) It has had 2 thermostats replaced in 4 years at a cost of £85 a time and now the main oven won't work ...seems to be same symptons and so have decided I'm not throwing any more money at it am going to replace it instead.
I want a reliable brand and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for brand and where to buy.
I need a built in double electric oven...main fan oven & top conventional oven with grill in stainless steel not above £700 and preferably much much less!!!!
Also does anybody know who took over Belling so I can avoid them too!....was it Hotpoint? Was thinking of a Smeg or Neff but would be grateful for your comments/experiences.

I love my built-under Neff U1722. I have installed it in two kitchens now. I bought the first one from John Lewis at £799 but the second I purchased online from https://www.wickedsavings.com for £632. Two year manufacturers warrenty.

Edited to say I have checked site and prices have gone up considerably. There are cheaper built=in Neff models though. I would definitely recommend deciding on your preferred model and then pricing online for the best deal. I made huge savings doing this for my kitchen appliances.

these people where really good.

Like the poster above - the prices have gone up considerably - that's commodity metal prices for you :rolleyes:

Service was great and it's a fantastic oven.

Oh allow £30-£40 extra for bits and pieces - Neff don't really supply the ovens well kitted out, but have an excellent web sales division via their main site.

Thank you busymumof3 and dell....I'm looking up Neff ovens now and will check out those websites. I know too well that it's worthwhile checking around on prices....managed to save over £500 between the oven and hob I bought 4 years ago by scouring the internet....Smeg hob is great and their customer service can't be praised enough, Belling oven as I 've already said a major disappointment as was there support line.

Managed to find Neff U1422NO for £654.58 at http://www.ukdomesticappliances.co.uk/content.php/1101080?ref=3778&keywords=neff+u1422&start=0 but am now leaning towards Smeg DO4SS-5 for £478.02 at http://www.appliance-world.co.uk/Smeg_DO4SS_Double%2BElectric%2BOven.html?manufacturers_id=97 for the money seems very good value considering comet are selling this for £819.99!!!
Does anyone have any experience of appliance-world.co.uk?
