I said I recommend the oven but with reservations. The oven itself is brilliant but the lamp often blows and difficult to replace. I said difficult but not impossible although JML make the item in such a way that they say only a qualified electrician should do the job. However it can be done by a serious diy man.
Remove the metal housing holding the fan blades. The main problem is removing the fan blades as the nut and centre spindle go around together and it is not possible to hold the spindle. Carefully unclip the lamp and move to one side with the wires attached. Cut a groove in the centre of the spindle with a small hacksaw which enables one to hold the spindle with a screwdriver and turn the nut. The fan can be removed along with the various casings. The lamp has 2 black wires, one goes to the connectors with the green wire and the other with the blue wire. Carefully make a note which is which. Disconnect the old lamp and repace with the new. Reconnect everything.
Sounds difficult but actually quite straight forward once the spindle is held and the fan blades removed.
