TMH's daughter got three.

Oven, hob and fridge freezer.

ISTR that the oven specified a 16A or 20A MCB.

TBH in the grand scale of a rewire an extra 12m of 2.5 T&E, a 20A DP
switch and a RCBO is not a lot of money or extra work.

She spent a lot more on the smokes, heat and CO alarms (3 optical
smokes, 1 ionisation smoke and 1 combined heat/CO detector). An easy
upsell to a paramedic[1] that has attended burning houses and CO deaths:-)

many people who smoke.
