Issues with Roast Potatoes and Pavlovas. Suggestions please – We have had our new oven for a few weeks now. Just wondering if anyone has had the following issue. I love crispy roast potatoes and every time I have tried to roast potatoes they have come out dry and not at all crispy. I have tried different oils and different types of potatoes. No matter how hot the oven it just seems to burn the oil. … Read more

Being Christmas time I wanted to make my usual Pavlova. Big fail - not once but twice. Usually turn the oven to around 150 then bring it back to 100 for 1.5 hours. This usually allows for a Pav crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside. Turned the oven up to 120 and left in the oven for another hour. Still sticky and not at all crisp. Tried it again early on Christmas Day. Upped the temp to 125 and still the same gooey mess.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong with roast potatoes and Pavs.

Thank you

Very noisy/clanging noise – We purchased ours in 2017 and it’s making loud whirling/clanging noises intermittently. We only use our oven once a week at most and it’s been happening for 2-3 months already Show details

Consistent heat - good reliable oven! – Great oven. Love the auto off timer which has become very handy with a toddler. The oven has a very consistent heat, and the fan forced allows even cooking and baking. The only issue we have had was the fan making a horrible noise, which required a replacement element within the first 12 months, but this was replaced under warranty, no questions… Read more

asked. Great company to deal with. The Westinghouse oven was installed into our new home, and looks stylish with the white glass front.

Much better than prior expensive european model – Like someone said, the controls are behind glass which is great. Simple controls just like I wanted. Heats up fast. Unlike one of the above reviews, my door opens side to side and not up down. I like the side ways door on this. The grill works well and heats up fast. I've had muh more expensive ovens that I hated. I much prefer this simple but goody.  Show details

Happy – Easy to read controls for older eyes. These makings for controlls can't be rubed off as they are behind the glass. When first using does smell, needed to wipe over several times with soapy cloth with a bit of vinegar. When i cooked a cake it was uneven in colour so you need too turn at half time baking. A great price for an oven you can easily use with no confusing gadgets.  Show details

Don't listen to the naysayers, this is a great oven – We recently bought a Westinghouse WVE613W electric oven to replace a 15 year old Sagi electric oven which wasn't performing very well. We were after a simple oven without any fancy electronic controls to cook, bake and grill large and small dishes. This oven fit the bill perfectly. It has simple to use rotary controls with a mechanical… Read more

countdown timer. However we did find the timer knob is not aligned properly when at the 12 o'clock position like the other 2 knobs are.

The performance of this oven is very good, especially for such a large capacity oven. There are many 80 litre ovens on the market but their usable volume is only 60 odd litres. This one is 72 litres which is more than enough space to hold a combination of large and small dishes being baked at the same time. We found removing the grill and cookie trays when not being used gave the best baking performance for dishes that were baking away on the wire racks. The top mounted grill element also works well (with and without fan assistance) as long as the food being grilled is relatively close to it.

This oven has a large cool touch glass panel to keep an eye on things and the main cooking fan is powerful but quiet. Many people have complained about hot air escaping from the top of the oven door but this isn't air that's coming from the cooking fan at the rear of the oven. There is a fan under the top cover of the oven which is used to cool down the oven's electric components and the air from this fan blows out of the ventilation holes above the top of the door when closed. I can see how people can mistake this for something else but it is by design so don't let this put you off this oven.

Overall we are very happy with this oven. It cooks well, is easy to clean and offers great value for money. The only issue is the misaligned timer knob as mentioned above but aside from that no other issues after using this oven for a month.

Perfect food – Have just built my first home and have installed this oven Wow what a firecracker Perfect oven for all my needs Just remember when first going to use any oven you must read the instructions and turn it on to seal the seals and get the new smell away Best oven  Show details

Good oven – Good oven cooks food perfectly Good to have a oven with a timer that switches oven off incase your in the shower or something, busy with children or just completely forget you have something in the oven!! What I don't like is the oven gets quite hot on front of it my son brushed past it as it's so quite and didn't know it was on and said ouch that's when I realised just how hot it gets other then that it is a good oven  Show details

Loyal product – Very easy to keep clean, just wipe down after using, not hot to touch when on . Great when having children in and out of kitchen,also adults. Price was around the same as other brands. Brought this brand befor , simple to use and been happy with cooking of the food .  Show details

So easy to use – We bought the oven as part of our kitchen upgrade and have used it a lot since. The oven looks great. It is very easy to clean. Cooking is simple, except having to prepare the meal, and the temperature is spot on. The 3 shelves gives you more ability to cook more items at the same time.  Show details

Trouble for short people – Replaced my 20 year old (yes 20) Simpson Townhouse wall oven with my new Westinghouse I've found this new one to have much less room inside The Griller has no handle to pull it out while cooking so you touch the actual Griller which is very hot to slide the Griller in and out And the oven door doesn't retract under the oven So being short I… Read more

am finding it VERY difficult to get things in and out of the oven without getting burnt on the oven door which when open is in the road
