Are Cheap Ovens Good?

You bet they are. In fact, you’d be surprised at the high spec of entry-level ovens these days. “Buying an inexpensive oven doesn’t mean sacrificing the quality of your family meals,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking & Dishwashers. “Multifunction cooking, easy cleaning, energy efficiency and designer finishes aren’t reserved for top-range models ‒ you can have them all with a budget or mid-range oven!”

Who Makes The Best Cheap Built-In Oven?

Look to kitchen experts Haier and Westinghouse if you're on the hunt for an affordable built-in oven in a sleek, contemporary design. “The best value built-ins make the most of modern cooking technology like steaming and air frying,” says Tania. “These ovens broaden your meal repertoire plus they improve the nutrition value and taste of your meals by locking in moisture, reducing the need for cooking oils and letting you reheat crunchy leftovers to reduce food wastage,” says Tania.

Check out Australian-built Westinghouse ovens if you want to tick all these boxes on a budget.

Budget-friendly 60cm Haier ovens have something for every cook, too. There’s Pastry Plus mode for bakers, Pizza Plus mode for entertainers, and a huge 70L capacity to fit your Sunday roast. The brand’s moderately priced 60cm range scores you pyrolytic self-cleaning technology. These self-cleaning ovens use an extreme heat setting to turn food spills and splatters into ash that’s easily brushed away, saving you on elbow grease.

And if you thought on-trend black kitchen appliances were reserved for luxury kitchens, think again. Omega has nailed the sleek, dark and sophisticated aesthetic and given it a price tag that makes designer good looks affordable.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Freestanding Oven?

A cooktop and an oven in a single unit, a freestanding cooker is a savvy (and stylish!) kitchen solution with the added perk of one-and-done installation. Gas, electric or dual fuel ‒ there are budget options across the board.

You’ll pay less up front for an electric model, and brands like Tecknika and Beko make timeless, stainless steel options that stand up to far more expensive brands. A gas or dual fuel freestanding oven will cost a bit more upfront but are cheaper to run, which means you’ll save at bill time.

If your budget stretches to a mid-range buy, the Westinghouse 54cm Electric Freestanding Cooker White is worth every cent. Four coil hotplates give you versatility to boil, sauté, or simmer several pots at once, while the generous 66L fan forced oven circulates hot air for even baking results. Cook everything from roast chicken to banana bread with ease. The separate 32L grill with wire racks lets you add quick grilled veggies or juicy steaks to complete your meals.

Who Makes The Best Value Double Ovens?

Want more? You got it! Big families and passionate entertainers love the extra capacity of double ovens, but don’t be fooled into thinking double the oven means twice the price. It doesn’t! The best value double ovens can actually be more affordable than some high-end single ovens, and you get the added convenience of cooking dinner and dessert at the same time.

For outstanding value, you can’t go past the Chef range. Chef’s entry-level double oven has a cavernous 110L capacity, so you can whip up a generous roast dinner or bake delicious pastries using the Fan Bake setting in the main oven, while veggie or meat skewers brown up nicely in the separate grill below.
