73L Oven ($249) and 58/59cm Cooktops ($199) + More Kitchen @ ALDI

70

Been half looking for a new oven for a bit since mine's a bit temperamental.
These seem reasonably cheap and a new stove top at the same time can't hurt. Still need installation which I'm told should be ~$150-$200 depending on electrician and appliance removal.

I'm open to suggestions for better options though.

  • I hope some places match these prices. Looking for a 54cm freestanding gas cook top, electric oven.

  • do we need to hard wire the oven or just plug in?

    • +3

      Hard wire.

    • People who shop at ALDI do not call an electrician for a 5-minute job to swap wires. They own a screwdriver.

      Only in Australia do we have such stupid over-regulation.

      I installed my own gas cooktop, but that requires a bit more know-how, so I do not advocate it.
      It turned out to be faulty, and I made a warranty claim. No problems, as the fault was clearly not caused by installation.

      Good specs. Significantly cheaper than Ikea equivalents, but are they the same quality? Shorter warranty.

      • This is not in the same league as the Ikea ovens. It's on a par with home brand ovens at Bunnings, Mitre 10 and most plumbing supplies.
        These are about the cheapest of their quality, Ikea ovens are about the cheapest of their quality. Both are good value for money.

        Of cause if the house burns down and it's found to be the fault then the insurance won't pay

          Of cause [sic] if the house burns down

          I'll bet you do a thousand things more dangerous, like drive your own car instead of hiring a professional chauffeur.
          Has this ever happened?

          • @bargaino: 1: if I have an accident in my car unless I have done modifications to it my insurance will payout
            2:I don't know about you but I'm a competent driver and actually feel safer as a driver than as a passenger
            3:If you look at the statistics the driver is more likely to survive a crash than are the passengers
            4:I was simply pointing out to people who may not have been aware of it that saving $200 may cost them $200,000

            • @iand: If you have recently moved into a new house and decided to upgrade your stove top, how is insurance going to know you did it? And how would you be expected to know that wiring was bad on an existing one? I dont think this is enforceable to be honest, its not CSI

      • That's it, risk your kitchen having a hot joint and catching on fire because you cheapped out on under $200 installing it properly and having all links done correctly.

        • +1

          Nice scare story for children, but I don't think the oven or brick cavity are flammable.

          • @bargaino: correct but the wood surrounding most wall ovens is

            • @iand: It would take a lot more than a hot joint to set the melamine panels on fire.

              I've seen damaged switches in wood skirting and architraves too, but you need something a lot more easily flammable to get a fire started. e.g. curtains, or dust in a roof-space.

          I have seen many cases of poor connections on ovens. Generally the damage is limited to a terminal block and 5cm of cable (and I would say 90% of these have been installed by a licensed electrician)
          Actually, from what I have seen repairing appliances, an electricians license is no guarantee of quality.

    • so grabbed the oven and ceramic cooktop today (last oven at hornsby).
      interestingly the oven is a plug in model.

  • I bought this one at the weekend, I'm not overly keen on it but my wife wanted it as they have a promotion on where you can claim a free everdure cube bbq which is on sale at Myer for $199.

    One good thing about it is that it has a plug so no need for an electrician if you have a power point nearby.

    I'm also on the lookout for a reasonable 60cm electric cooktop.

    • not positive but pretty sure you'll find that all ovens need to be hard wired the sparky will come out and cut the plug off

      • Probably just because its easier, why install a powerpoint when you can just directly wire?

      • But why would you get a sparky out if you're just going to plug it in? I guess I'll find out as I don't have a power point where I want the oven to go.

        • No one has a powerpoint where they want it to go, usually in Oz these are hard wired. So when it comes with a plug the sparky cuts it off. The oven needs to be on its own circuit due to the high power draw so if its hard wired there will be no power point there.

      • This isn't correct, our home (2017 built) is fitted with a 15A outlet for the oven, on it's own circuit with a separate isolating switch.

  • No mention weather this has a grille.

    Parents bought this oven a year ago, and found the temperature is WAY off compared to the indicated temp, they now need to have an in oven thermometer in it to get an accurate reading to be able to use it for anything (before this everything would just burn, even when they set it lower than usual, but that's because they didn't think it could actually be as inaccurate as it is). Just remember that while Aldi have a good return policy, if you do get a dodgy one you will have to pay for the electrician, and this (especially if you need them for the install/removal for return/install of new oven) will quite likely cost you more than the oven.

    • Just in case… we have this oven from a previous sale. Just make sure that they are setting the oven to the bottom heating element only.

  • I bought thia for 49 bucks during a store refurbishment reopening sale, was 99 at that sale but price dropped to 49. Not sure if I actually need it, as I have a 40 year old top of the line Westinghouse which is probably better in every way and has an integrated grill and microwave, but couldnt pass it up.

    I did get ths induction Cooktop for 239 (discounted from 299, and while it isn't thw fanciest Cooktop I have owned it ia so far the most reliable. Unfortunately its not in the current catalogue

  • They don't sell well around me so usually heavily discounted to clear after a few weeks.
