    Current oven is Blanco - 600mm, underbench, stainless steel. Multifunction switch faulty. Electrician (via PM) quoted either to repair (new switch) or replace (new oven). However, the repair option is not feasible because they cannot locate the model number to order the correct part. The only option remains is to replace. Electrician quoted 3 brands: Chef CVE612SA ($770 plus GST), Westinghouse WVE614SA ($870 plus GST), and Beko BBO60S0MB ($970 plus GST). Would like to know if anyone has installed one of these ovens, and whether it is any good? [Being over 10K miles away has been a distinct disadvantage in dealing with these issues!]
    Thanks in advance for any comments / views.

    Some of the above are answered in your new post but go through the others.

    The Westinghouse gets good reviews on productreview, vs terrible reviews for the Chef and zero reviews for the Beko (that particular model anyway).

    Price seems good, cheaper than getting it from appliancesonline (who charge $969 delivered+installed)

    Thanks, Scott No Mates, for your thoughts. A big drawback for me is being 10K miles away and having to rely totally on PM - who may or may not be diligent. It is not just a matter of hopping on a 2 hours flight to verify and check things.

    Thanks, chylld, for your reply - much appreciated. Have decided to go with Westinghouse - after reading some reviews on Chef and Beko.
