Take a look around and you’ll find a broad variety of freestanding ovens. Whether you’re after a Gas, Electric, Dual Fuel, Induction, or Elevated freestanding oven, you’ll find the solution to meet your needs and preferences. Combining a cooktop and oven in the one appliance, freestanding ovens are great for the space-conscious.
Modern freestanding ovens offer many innovative features designed to make your time in the kitchen easier and more enjoyable. Take the pyrolytic cleaning function, which takes all the elbow grease out of cleaning. Some ovens even have a Teppanyaki plate as part of the cooktop, to achieve creative dinners you never thought could be so easy.
Appliances Online offers the world’s leading and most trusted kitchen brands like Westinghouse, Smeg, Euromaid, Bosch, Beko, and more. Take a look at our freestanding ovens buying guide for more information and inspiration to help you find the right choice.
Always remember to let your appliances cool down before starting a clean!
How To Clean Your Oven Cavity
We suggest two methods which can be used for a fast clean without the use of any harsh chemicals.
- For a lightly soiled oven, you can use the power of steam to loosen up those greasy splatters, even if you don’t have an oven equipped with a steam-clean function. Simply fill a large oven-proof tray with water mixed with half a cup of white vinegar and place it in your lowest oven rack. Turn your oven on to its highest heat and leave for 25 minutes. Hot steam will fill the cavity and do its work. After the oven has cooled down, use a cloth to wipe up the leftover residue.
- For dirtier ovens, mix in a separate bowl a cup of bicarbonate of soda with some water and stir to create a thin paste. Apply the paste to the walls of your cool oven, avoiding any heating elements. Then fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spray the bicarbonate of soda on the oven walls. The ingredients will react and begin breaking down dirt and grease. Leave for about an hour, then wipe away with a damp cloth.
How To Clean Your Cooktop
Cleaning your Freestanding Oven’s cooktop will depend if you have a gas or electric cooktop.
- For a gas cooktop, the first thing to do is remove the trivets, which can be washed separately with hot soapy water. You may wish to soak them in a sink full of soapy water if they are particularly soiled. You’ll now have access to thoroughly clean the cooktop surface. Wipe down and scrub with an abrasive sponge or microfibre cloth, together with a neutral cleaning detergent. Most control knobs are designed to be removed for cleaning - consult your manufacturer’s manual to find out more.
- Electric or induction cooktops generally feature surfaces made from ceramic glass or a similarly smooth material. Because they lack any nooks or crannies, they are a breeze to clean. Simply wipe down with a sponge and a neutral detergent. If your cooktop has metal elements or coils, these can also be wiped down, but be sure to avoid getting too much moisture on them. The coils are usually removable - consult your manufacturer's manual to find out how to do this safely.
One important tip is to do small cleans frequently, rather than letting grime build up over time. Wipe up that sauce sooner rather than later to prevent it from sticking.
A freestanding oven is an all-in-one appliance that combines the oven and cooktop into a single unit that stands on the floor. A wall oven, on the other hand, is installed directly into your kitchen cabinetry and is a separate appliance from your cooktop, which would be installed into your benchtop.
A pyrolytic oven is a fantastic, time-saving feature that cleans itself. When you run the pyrolytic cycle, the oven safely locks and heats up to an extremely high temperature (around 500°C), turning grease, food spills, and grime into a fine ash. Once the cycle is finished and the oven has cooled down, you simply wipe the ash away with a damp cloth-no harsh chemicals or scrubbing required. Models like the Falcon 90cm Professional FXP offer this hassle-free cleaning function.
You will need a rangehood that is at least as wide as your freestanding cooker's cooktop. This ensures it can effectively capture all the steam, smoke, and cooking odours. Some modern ovens, like select models from Westinghouse, even feature Hob2Hood technology, which allows the cooker to automatically communicate with a compatible rangehood, adjusting the fan speed for you as you cook.
This is where Appliances Online makes it easy. We offer Free Next-Day Delivery on in-stock items to most areas. When our team arrives, they can take your old, disconnected appliance away for free. Because freestanding ovens require installation by a licensed electrician and/or gasfitter, you can book this service with us for an additional fee during checkout. We’ll coordinate the delivery and installation to make sure everything is sorted in one smooth process. If you have any questions, our Australian-based customer support team is here to help 24/7.
Choose a double cavity oven if you love to multitask in the kitchen, like grilling and baking at the same time. If you often cook large roasts or big batches of food, a large single cavity oven might be a better fit. Double cavity models, like the highly-rated Falcon 90cm Kitchener which boasts an incredible 4.9-star average from over 150 reviews, give you two or more separate compartments. This means you can bake a cake in one oven without it taking on the smells of the fish you're grilling in another. For entertainers, a model like the Beko 90cm Dual Fuel Oven (BRC916GMB) offers three separate cavities, giving you ultimate flexibility. On the other hand, a large single cavity oven, like the 125L Westinghouse 90cm Dual Fuel Oven (WFE9515SD), provides a huge, uninterrupted space perfect for fitting the Christmas turkey or multiple large baking trays at once.
For keen bakers, the most important features are precise temperature control and even heat distribution. Look for ovens with a fan-forced function, like the Westinghouse 90cm cooker with AirFry (WFE9516DD), which uses a Twin Fan System to circulate hot air evenly for consistent results. Some models also include steam functions, such as Westinghouse's EasyBake +Steam, which adds moisture to create fluffier cakes and bread with a better rise and crispier crust. For the dedicated bread maker, premium models like the Falcon 110cm Classic Deluxe even come with a dedicated bread proving drawer, which provides the perfect warm, humid environment for your dough to rise perfectly every time.
Yes, a fan-forced oven is a great choice for almost everyone. It uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven cavity, which cooks food faster and more evenly than a conventional oven. This means you get consistent results no matter which shelf you use, making it perfect for baking multiple trays of biscuits or cooking a multi-layered dinner. It's the standard in most modern electric ovens, including popular models from Bosch, Westinghouse, and Falcon, because it delivers reliable, predictable results every time.
