Anyone have a John Lewis Oven/ combi-microwave?

harrysmith123

I am trying to replace my 13 year old built in single oven and built in combi microwave. The micro is completely broken and the oven on its last legs. The two have to look similar as they are right next to each other.

The John Lewis ones come out really well on Which and are reasonably priced compared to other brands. However, they are actually made by AEG and AEG don't seem to do so well in the Which tests, which doesn't make sense to me.

Also, I've found that getting the simplest information about these ovens from John Lewis - like "What power supply does the combi-microwave have?" has been much harder than it should be.

Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience of these or can recommend other reasonably priced alternatives? Any tips much appreciated.

Have got the AEG and had no problems so far. They are owned by Electrolux who ran the brand down for a while, but in recent years the product has got much better again.

Been pleased with mine so far.

To be honest, the quality of almost all kitchen appliances has declined over the last 15 years. You are now paying less than you would have then for many of them, which says something about the quality of components used.

With the exception of Miele who have stayed true to their quality values.

Agreed...if money is no object then that is the way to go.

Just bought a Miele dishwasher through AO dot com. I've had over a year of hassle with a Curry's essentials dishwasher and when it went wrong for the fifth time I blew my top, got a refund from Curry's (which wasn't easy, despite having an extended warranty) and am overjoyed to have a new Miele in the kitchen. Ordered it yesterday afternoon, had it delivered before work this morning, for no additional delivery cost. Have bought a few things through AO now and they are consistently impressive. The Samsung washing machine I got from them a year ago was a revelation - outstanding piece of kit. I'm gradually coming round to the opinion that you get what you pay for...
