Are you looking for a new oven but not sure what’s best for your kitchen? So which is better freestanding or built-in ovens?

Freestanding vs Built-In Ovens

Freestanding ovens

An all-in-one cooker with a hob on top, oven space below and sometimes even a separate grill. The main advantage of freestanding ovens is that they’re one complete package. They fit into an existing gap in the kitchen and you can take them with you if you move house.

What are the main features of freestanding ovens?

Slots neatly in your kitchen
Choose from gas or electric
Stress-free cleaning if you go for easy clean, pyrolytic or catalytic liners
Flexibility – choose a single or double oven

Range cookers

A combination of oven, grill and hob that is perfect for feeding big families. If you want to make a statement in your kitchen, then consider a range cooker. It’s designed for serious chefs and those who cook for lots of people.

What are the main features of range cookers?

Up to 50% more oven space
Cook at different temperatures, with up to four oven compartments
Several hob plates for lots of pans

Built-in Ovens

An integrated cooker that blends into your kitchen. If you want the flexibility of range cookers but don’t have space, a built-in oven is the way to go. Built-in ovens are installed into a kitchen unit. A built-in oven is 60cm wide, the same as a standard kitchen unit.
