11 Best Ovens In Singapore 2022 – Compact & Multifunctional!
Imagine buying the best electric oven in Singapore 2022 and not using it enough! That’s a shame since ovens can cost a lot.
So if you don’t want your new oven to be a physical reminder of money down the drain:
Pick one that really suits your cooking style and kitchen! We have top models to recommend below. As well as a nifty guide on how to choose an oven that will match your needs!
Types Of Oven
Firstly, which type of oven are you getting?
If you don’t have a clue on where to start, here’s a quick guide:
1. Gas Ovens
Not that common in Singapore. But they do exist – usually as a stove/ oven combination (range unit). These ovens heat up faster than electric ones, saving you money in the long run.
They’re also not as drying so food comes out juicier on the inside than from an electric oven!
2. Steam Oven
If retaining moisture is the priority:
Steam ovens will do the same job as a microwave oven! They’re expensive but ideal for steaming a large quantity of food.
The high density of steam cooks food fast, sealing in all the nutrients and taste too without losing moisture!
And you can use metal cookware inside!
PS: It is possible to get an electric oven with a steam function.
3. Electric Oven
Electric ovens can be multifunctional if they have both of the following functions:
3.1. Conduction/ Conventional Oven
In the very basic models, heat starts from bottom up from an electric element.
There are other models with a top and bottom heating element too. Which is just the thing if you want to brown your food!
3.2. Convection Oven (Fan operated)
If you like to bake multiple trays at once:
Convection ovens are more efficient in terms of energy usage. Because the heat distribution is even. Thanks to a fan at the back!
Roasting meat is faster with one of these ovens as well.
What’s even faster, is an air fryer!
4. Toaster Oven
The best toaster ovens in Singapore are still cheaper than their larger electric counterparts:
Toaster ovens are very practical for many households where the cooking is mainly done on the stove rather than in an oven.
You can use them for baking the occasional cake and to grill meat! Even just to make pastries crispy again!
5. Microwave Oven
These are their own type of oven (See oven vs microwave if you want to know more) even if they technically use electricity too.
With microwave ovens, food cooks using electromagnetic waves that vibrate food particles, causing them to heat up very fast! Too fast for any browning though. And thus, roasting food is not possible with a microwave oven.
Some newer ovens have both microwave and convection modes!

Best Countertop Oven
These tabletop ovens range from S$90 to S$250:
1. Cornell 36L Electric Convection Oven CEO-E3621SL
Sometimes, you can get this oven (with stainless steel heating elements) for under S$100! It’s easy to use for baking or roasting!
We like the straightforward dials! And the fact that the thermostat can go right up to 250C!
One user observed that the heat distribution is skewed to one side of the oven.
But its capacity and functions leave a lot of users satisfied! Users have made cakes, scones, bread, baked fish, chicken wings, and pizza successfully with this oven!
Good enough if you only bake or roast your food once in a while. Though if you have kids running amok, best to get an oven that is better insulated!
Tip: Put a mat underneath this oven so it does not damage your countertop with excess heat
Pros:
- Tray has a convenient handle so that you don’t burn yourself!
- Heats up fast

- Has 60-minute timer
Cons:
- Can feel the heat from this oven (i.e. not well insulated)

Although it’s more expensive that the previous 36L Cornell model:
The Cornell 40L Digital Electric Oven CEOP40LD comes with a larger cooking capacity, more functions (9 presets including rotisserie, fermentation & convection) and accessories!
Using it is straightforward, and it’s large enough to roast a whole chicken in – as one user did!
Its digital interface lets you control the temperature accurately! Rather than “guessing” with a dial as is common with other countertop ovens! Something users appreciate about this model!
The Cornell 40L Digital Electric Oven CEOP40LD has better heat insulation than the cheaper and slightly smaller Cornell 36L Electric Convection Oven CEO-E3621SL!
But still does not hold up to better quality ovens!
Pros:
- Long timer (up to 120 minutes)
- Separate temperature controls for the top and bottom elements
- Double-glass door
- Easy to clean (non-stick insulating interior)
- Wide temperature range (60-230°C)

3. EuropAce 30L Double Glass Stainless Steel Electric Oven – EEO 5301T
Classy with a cool-touch door and stainless steel exterior:
The EuropAce 30L Double Glass Stainless Steel Electric Oven – EEO 5301T bakes evenly too (up to 250°C)! Bread comes out evenly toasted as one user shared.
Together with its accessories (e.g. 2 wire racks, a drip pan, rotisserie spit and handle), you will have adequate interior flexibility!
We like that it has legs to raise the oven up from the counter top. To avoid heat damage on your counter!
However, this is a pretty small convection oven so you probably can’t roast a whole chicken nicely! It’s fine for baking a small batch of cookies and the like!
Pros:
- Simple to use
- 60-minute timer
- Multifunctional
- Looks beautiful
Cons:
- Relatively small cooking capacity
- Temperature may be higher than what is indicated
- Type: Convection Electric Oven
- Capacity: 30 L
- Dimensions: 48.7 × 40.8 x 34.1 cm
- Power: 1,500 W

4. Mistral 32L Electric Oven MO32RCL
With that remarkable price, this is one of the best electric ovens you can get in Singapore! With stainless steel heating elements!
If you know what you are doing, it should not take you very long to figure out the workings of this oven! There is a manual but it doesn’t say much. As such, one user recommended it for experienced bakers!
The temperature range of the Mistral 32L Electric Oven MO32RCL is acceptable. Between 100-250°C. But if you want an oven that does more than 60 minutes, consider another model (like the Tefal OF464E)!
Most users find it great value for the low price point! Aside from a few minor dents during delivery!
Pros:
- Value for money
- 60-minute timer

- Looks nice

Several cooking modes (convection, bain marie, rotisserie, conventional, grill, bakery, defrost, etc), an adjustable thermostat (100°C to 240°C) and a 120-min timer that shuts off automatically.
Apparently, the 19L version of the Tefal 33L Oven Optimo Turnspit OF464E had a wider range of opening angles than the 33L version! This one can only open fully or close completely.
Crusty breads are a given with this oven! Just note that a roasting spit is not included with this oven!

There are 7 heating modes you can select from too. You can even select just the upper or lower heating element! The minute dial goes up to 120 minutes!
According to reviews on Amazon, it’s particularly great for baking bread or pizza! However, one user noted that if you use any of the functions that involve the rotisserie insert, you can’t manually control it!
Our personal opinion on the BG 1550 is that there are ovens of equal or better features and performance at a much lower price!
Note: Product is made in China but follows German standards

7. Mayer 30L Electric Oven MMO30
The Mayer 30L Electric OVEN, MMO30 is a space-saving electric oven with a classic appearance. Despite that, it is still possible to fit a 10-inch square cake pan into this oven.
And for its size, the Mayer 30L Electric OVEN, MMO30 is light although it may be a concern for some that the glass door is fairly thin and you will be able to feel the heat from the oven.
Other than this, the build quality of this electric oven is good. And it does have an interior light so you can see what’s going on inside.
However, the cable is kind of short so be sure to check where you’re going to put this oven (the cable is at the right of the oven if you look at it from the front).
If you’re hoping for pre-set functions, you’re pretty much on your own with the Mayer 30L Electric OVEN, MMO30. But still, it is easy to use with 5 basic functions (defrost, bottom heat, top heat/ rotisserie, top and bottom heat) and more importantly, it has even heat distribution.
The maximum temperature this oven is capable of is 230 degrees Celsius. While the timer can go up to 120 minutes.
All things considered, if you like to bake for leisure, the Mayer 30L Electric OVEN, MMO30 is an inexpensive and functional investment for most households.
Depending on where you get it from, the Mayer 30L Electric OVEN, MMO30 can be just as cheap as the Mistral 32L Electric Oven MO32RCL too. Both models have 1 year warranty.
But the Mayer 30L Electric OVEN, MMO30 is our pick for the most compact countertop electric oven!

8. Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP
Make no mistake, the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP is a big oven (it weighs just over 10kg). A whole chicken can definitely fit into this oven.
There’s one extra function you don’t usually see with electric ovens as the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP also has a dedicated function for fermentation.
Besides the usual functions like lower, upper, lower & upper heat, rotary, and convection.
Other nice things about this electric oven are the double-insulated glass door and interior light. Indeed, the front of the oven doesn’t feel hot when baking.
Just be careful to open and close the door gently anyways as the door does open more than 90 degrees.
Furthermore, there is a temperature dial (for each element) that goes up to 230 degree Celsius. Those that prefer analogue style buttons on their appliances will appreciate the control panel of the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP.
But like other ovens on this list, there’s no indicator to let you know that preheating is done. And if you want to bake with 2 trays in this oven, there’s a tendency for uneven baking.
Note: You can get around this by adjusting the individual temperature dials – takes some trial and error.
To conclude, the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP cannot compete with built in ovens but if you can’t afford the space for or price of a built-in oven, or just don’t bake very often, the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP is a worthwhile investment.
You have a lot of control with baking when using the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP too:
Because of the 2 separate temperature dials for the lower and upper heating elements which is why we recommend the Panasonic 38L Electric Oven NB-H3801KSP for baking enthusiasts!

- Generously-sized chamber with a light
- Extra function for fermentation
- Good heat insulation (double-glass door)

9. Ariston 60CM 71L Built-In Oven FA3834HIXAAUS

Use it for baking pizza and bread! Grilling meats and more!
Most users are in favor of this Ariston oven for its capacity and price. Compared to higher priced ovens like the Bosch HBF114BR0K Built In Oven (~S$800, 66L).
Or the even the Brandt Built In Oven BXE5532X (~S$900, 73L).
It’s affordable for an imported oven (with self cleaning) made in Italy! But Ariston’s after-sales service record (at least in Australia) is sketchy.

- Installation is typically included in the price
Cons:
- Spare parts will not be cheap (this product originates from Europe)
- Type: Built-in Oven

Bosch 60CM Built-In Oven HBF114BR0K has 7 heating functions. One of which is a dedicated pizza mode.
It may bother some people that the digital display is just for the timer. While the modes and temperature dials are on either side of the display. But some users do prefer these physical knobs instead!
More reviews say that this oven keeps the heat in, and it works quietly.
It’s pricey but it meets the quality standards that customers have come to know Bosch for! And the service is reliable! At this price though, you would think that it has self cleaning but it does not!

Grilled meats still come out juicy and tender!
It looks pleasing in the kitchen and is easy to clean, which is great since it does not have a self cleaning feature!
The Electrolux EOB2400AOX is slightly cheaper with bigger capacity than the Ariston 60CM 71L Built-In Oven FA3834HIXAAUS. But the short warranty (depending where you get it from) leaves room for doubts.
If yours is noisy, you should call the service number. Because most users say this oven runs fairly quiet!

Tips On How To Choose An Oven
We already touched on the types of oven functions earlier.
So now, let’s look at these factors more closely:
1. Usage (Cooking capacity)
Be honest with yourself. How often do you really plan to bake, grill or roast?
And if you do, will it be one or two trays? If you’re going to bake large quantities frequently, double ovens do exist!
For aspiring chefs, look for a convection oven with a third element that is close to the fan!
Note that the cooking capacity for ovens is measured in liters, L.
2. Size
How much room do you have in your kitchen for an oven?
If your kitchen is already built up, you need to measure the allotted space carefully. And choose an oven based on those dimensions.
All ovens including built-in ovens require some allowance space around them for adequate ventilation in addition to their cavity dimensions.
3. Budget/ Versatility
As you would expect, multifunctional ovens cost more. So think twice if you’re really going to use all the cooking/ baking/ roasting/ grilling functions that come with one!
If you have the space for it, getting a countertop oven and the best electric steamer can be a lot cheaper than getting an oven with a steam function too.
4. Safety
Doors with multiple layers of glass can hold heat better. And are cool-to-touch from the outside.
5. Self Cleaning
Some high end ovens come with this feature:
This function may use extreme temperature (~ 500°C) to turn any food residue into ash so that you can wipe it off easily afterwards.
The exact term for this is pyrolytic cleaning.
Verdict
If you bake or grill very often but in small quantities, the best electric oven in Singapore 2022 is a counter top oven, like the value-for-money model by Tefal, OF464E!
