professional oven clean or new oven?

I have a Single electric oven which I'd dirty I've tried cleaning it , the separate hob has come up fine as have the grill racks. The oven itself , inside and glass I can't get it clean.

It's about 7 years old still works OK but I am wondering whether to get someone in or just buy a new one. I am guessing a clean would cost 50-70 and a new oven 100 or slightly more.

What should I do?

    I'd get it cleaned. You know that oven and it'll last another 7-10 years if cleaned. Just be more careful and wipe it down every time you've made a mess in future.

    Shop around (or look out for a groupon) for oven cleaning. I have a double oven and got both parts cleaned last week for £30. It would have been £25 for just one of them

    A pro oven clean for a single electric oven where i am (home counties) is £35 , your estimate seems high
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Go to supermarket and buy Oven Pride. £3.99 or thereabouts. Works wonders.

    Thanks, I think there is life left in the oven. I would happily pay 35-40 for a pro clean. Any company recommendations for Berkshire?
