Re: Need new oven – opinions please?

Ever heard the phrase “not with a barge-pole” ? 😉
Re: Need new oven – opinions please?
Got Candy FL134WH from my local Homebase for 150 quid (reduced from 279 quid). They had it as one-off takeaway offer. This was the only option of silencing Mrs K. 🙂
Now the oven is installed (perfect fit, actually) and the only criticism is that light is always on when oven is working (it is off when oven is switched off).
Not sure if this is normal, the Hygena behaved differently.I know that Candy is crap compared to Bosch but as I’ve got 4 years (1 from Candy and 3 from credit card provider) warranty, for this sort of money I don’t really care. BTW. it looks like Candy FL134WH and Hoover HFO415W is pretty much the same thing, so missus got what she wanted.
Strangely there was no warranty card inside of the user guide – is this normal for Candy? I still registered it on their website and it came as valid… Probably need to give’em a call on Monday and ask for a proper warranty card.
There were a lot (about 30) screws in the box – what are these for? The longer ones (black) are for attaching front panel to cabinet but what are another 26 for? 😯

And a silence… 🙂
I am sorry guys if you feel that your advice went unnoticed – it certainly wasn’t the case. It is just I needed quick and dirty solution at whatever cost and this was the only option available 🙁 The major reason was that I could take get it there and then and not to wait for 3-4 weeks delivery (eating microwave food for that long would certainly drive me mad). If they had Bosch available at whatever price, I’d go for it.
Re: Need new oven – opinions please?
Some times its best just to say nowt, 😉
With regard to the warranty, as long as you have a valid receipt you are OK.
As for all the screws, I was tempted to say that they are for refixing all the bits as they fall off, but that would be very cruel and facetious of me. 😆
Enjoy your cooking. 8)

That was pretty much what I thought 😆
I just had a feeling that you guys were a bit embarassed by my choice after such a long and useful discussion, so wanted to say sorry. On the other hand, what you service guys will do if all appliances would be indestructable? 😉
