Please note that these tips are based on my experience in Israel
-
Price - Get the cheapest (and if you are designing your new kitchen, do yourself a favor and get 2 ovens).
-
Illumination - It is best to get an oven with 2 lamps. Bur make sure there is an easy access for replacing the bulb.
-
Thermometer - No matter what brand you buy, they are never accurate with the temperature. In order to know how to adjust the temperature, just get a thermometer in a baking supplies store.
-
Temperature setting - I prefer a manual the temperature setting knob. (see tip 2 above)
-
Cooking plans: Upper heat, lower heat, both together and turbo, will do just fine.
-
Levels - Make sure there are at least 3 shelves and preferably 4
-
Rails - No No! They reduces the interior size of the oven. Also removing the hot baking trays is dangerous ans can cause burns.
-
Door - Give up any decorations on the clear part of the oven (the glass) that will hide the interior.
-
Ventilation - Make sure there is a front ventilation to cool off the door.
-
Service - Be sure that the service is given by a trusted company.
-
Size - The interior sizes vary a bit, so If you have a tray that you like, take it with you and make sure it fits in.
-
Timer - Make sure the timer also turns the oven off - not just beeping.
