I'm looking for a 3 gas + 1 electric oven.

From experience with computer hardware, spending more doesn't guarantee better value (there's a sweet spot for expense to quality). Is this the same with ovens?

I have also been adviced against Ramptons. With so many brands in the market: ELBA, MIKA, HOTPOINT, LG, SIMFER, BEKO, SAMSUNG, etc. It's hard to make a decision!

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Don't know about their cookers but my brand new LG fridge kicked the bucket after 18 months, bought some spares in 2012 and it's been ok so far but it left me with a bad impression of the brand. My Ramtons cooker has never had any issues however.

I use Armco, I bake a lot and my oven chapaad within 13 months.
As someone who loves cooking, my dream stove would be Bompani or Ariston.
I'd advise buying from Jumia, they are the cheapest.

I dont know about cost, but an electric oven is definitely easier to use.

Le-wife bought a Bosch cooker 1 year ago works fine with much baking plus make sure you get one with a convection fan.

Ariston is one of the best. Very, very reliable. But quite pricey.

An electric oven is always easier to use than a gas oven.

I'd advise AGAINST Jumia. For white goods, it's always better to go to a supermarket or one of the trusted dealers in the city. In some of those shops you can even negotiate the price down.

I don't know about the other cheaper brands aside from Hotpoint and Ramtons. The people I know who have them haven't had any complaints so far.
