So wait.. you get your oven when you buy your (new?) house?

Everywhere i've been, you're happy if you get a kitchen, and the oven is just like a washing machine... a standard-sized piece of equipment that fits in a standard-sized hole in your kitchen, that you buy in an electronics store.

Some ovens are built into kitchen benches.

But those are standardized too, and definitely not something a builder would demand you buy.

Usually you buy a house/apartment here, and then you buy a kitchen separately, and they ask you if you want a standard oven or a built-in one, and they leave a hole for either... I guess you can buy an oven with them too, and they install it, but you can definitely buy any standard sized one, and just screw it in, eg:

You also need a separate cooktop for the builtin variant, but they can cut out a hole for that too (sizes are pretty much all standardized)

A lot of people still use standalone ovens+cooktops, eg: https://www.mimovrste.com/stedilniki/gorenje-kombinirani-ste...
