| Single oven | Compact kitchens / smaller households | Space-saving and cost-effective |

Top tips for choosing the right oven
Always measure the cabinet aperture, including height, width, depth, and door-swing clearance.
Choose a capacity that suits your household: around 50–60L for couples, 65–75L for families.
Consider fan-assisted, true fan (convection), or multifunction ovens for more flexibility.
Check the energy rating and look for features such as programmable timers and child locks.
