My 20+ year-old electric oven has called it quits and the replacement parts are no longer made. What are reliable brands and what should I be looking for as I shop around?
Seriously - look at CL and FB-Marketplace. Kitchen appliances are one area where like-new/great condition come up again and again at a fraction of the cost, because people are constantly doing kitchen renos. I can't tell you how many times I've come across ovens that were never even switched on, but were taken out of a new home the moment the owners walked in. The other day I came across a 2018 Miele for 1/3rd new because "it didn't go with our new decor".
If you want reliability ratings, Consumer Reports keeps pretty decent repair history data on several dozen models.
