Where are you located?  That might have some bearing on any recommendation.

Given your choices, I'm guessing you're not in the US.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

regrets to say, , , , if any of the "brand names" produces something really reliable and especially "good" - it's sheer accident.

the "brands" farm out the engineering and construction to Asian/Chinese sources based on "we need an oven than cannot cost more than $X/YEuro/whatever.

their costs, of course, do not resemble the "retail" cost at the consumer level.

Actually In my opinion the current Chinese GE ovens are quite good.  At least compared to the dreadful GE ovens that preceded them.  Speaking as someone who has experienced both.

yeah assuming that it's bad because it's made in asia is mostly down to sinophobic racism these days. lots of good quality products are made there, and, like anywhere, it's down to the company who brands it pushing for proper funding and QA.
