Cheap oven advice

[tenohfive]

Looking for a cheap and cheerful electric built in oven/grill that'll last a few years without breaking....and thats pretty much it. Size 600mm x 600mm, and budget of around £250 (will stretch to £300 if its worth the extra.) And I'm expecting to pay someone extra to fit it.

So far a bit of digging brought me to the Hotpoint SY36X/1 - seems to tick all the boxes, the most basic of the names that I recognise. Except the reviews seem to think the grill is rubbish and the fan is noisy, and there was mention of a high pitched whining noise when not being used in one review.

Anyone got any recommendations for something similar of the same budget?

Hard wired or plug in?

Ikea whirlpool stuff comes with 5 years warranty, and are good basic ovens.

B&Q have a pile of cheap white goods just inside the entrance - well my branch does anyway.

look at Gorenje or Fagor, fitted loads of them and both come with 5 year parts and labour waranty
