Stoves 61GDO Width: 600mm Gas Cooker Reviews

+ very stylish and easy to use .

- only bad point, if your a clean freak there is a lot of glass and chrome to keep clean.

+ Looks good and does the job its made for very well.

- Kbob get very hot when top oven is in use,surely this could be designed out.

+ Good looking cooker. Oven light is bright, providing good view of whats cooking.

- Plastic knobs.

+ stylish
functions
control knobs

- none yet

+ easy to use - cooks evenly. excellent top oven and spacious bottom oven. easy to clean - glass interior door panels are removable.

- None - most people complain about cleaning the glass and stainless steel but that is easily overcome - just clean with washing up liquid on a wet cloth but do not wipe off with clean water - just wipe with a dry tea towel for fantastic results!

+ looks good and stylish and for a gas hob i found it very easy to keep the top clean.

- would be nice if the oven had self cleaning panels,

+ looks sleek.

- Cooker control knobs break too easily, I've only had the cooker just over 1 year and already have had to replace a control knob. They are made of inadequate plastic instead of metal.....Stoves said they couldn't be made of metal or they would get hot.......I agree the outside of the control might, but the inner could have been made of metal.........my previous cooker's control knobs were and they lasted for over 10 years. My mother bought the gas model a couple of months ago and has already had to replace a plastic control knob.

+ great design matched my handles to my new kitchen looks great nice cast iron pan supports

- heavy thing to move lol, wouldnt fit thru my front door so had 2 unpackage it before it went into the house but this might apply to just me would be good if the lights on the top and bottom oven wud each turn off on their own so u cud save the bulbs

+ double oven, switchback safety system, lights in both ovens

- none

+ Very nice looking stove, easy to use and clean. This stove has enhanced our kitchen and given it a touch of class.

- If you can call it a bad point, its hard to tell if the ovens are lit as the flames are hidden,(more so the top oven) It gets easier to tell with use and does not put us off the stove in any way.

+ See through doors, lights and ease of cleaning. Generally it works well and does all you would expect of a cooker.

- The simmer settings on the hob are sometimes a little too high. The regulo settings take a little getting used to - you have to bend down to see them.

+ The cooker is well designed and made. There seems to be nothing flimsy. The self-ignition works well and the safety interlocks are well thought out. It seems to keep itself remarkably clean especially after our experiences with our previous electric fan oven. My wife (the cook in the family) is extremely pleased.

- The gas marks on the main oven knob are close together and it is easy to dial a '5' when you really want a '6'. If you put your glasses on it is fine. Other than that, nothing.

+ Stylish,safety features..i.e switch back system.clean looking

- finger marks easily....not that bad really

+ Seems to work efficiently and cook evenly, the dual ovens are very useful, as is the fully lit interior. Easy to clean and it looks really good. Haven't used the timer function yet but its a good feature to have, in principle. Cast iron pan supports add a touch of class and are unusual for this price. Great value.

- The layout of the controls is such that it is sometimes difficult to see what temperature you have selected without bending down to check. The grill is either on or off, with control being achieved by lowering or raising the grill pan/shelf, which is definitely inferior to having a genuinely controllable grill. The grill pan and handle are fiddly to use

+ The overall design of this product is good. It’s the same size as my old cooker only this one is slightly wider inside which is a bonus. The grill shelf also fits the main oven shelf which comes in handy. Love the fact you can remove the inside of the doors for cleaning. The cooking performance outweighs any of the minor bad points of this cooker.

- The hob section of the cooker has 3 different sized rings and I would like to see 4. The hob finish is easy to clean only leaves smears with some cleaning products. The grill has no adjustable heat control (my husband said it did until I pointed out it was being turned off and that’s why the heat was turning down). The heat is extracted at the front of the cooker and not the back like my old one.

+ Looks really good. I've had a single electric built in cooker for the past 11 years, so this double gas oven is a dream ! !

- When lowering the grill heat setting if you go too far around the dial it can turn the power off. However, the gas is still on and you have to press the ignition again to re-light. If you do not notice gas is still on this could be really dangerous.

+ Clean design. Inner door glass on both ovens is easily removed for cleaning etc. Top and bottom ovens are a reasonable size.

- Nothing major - just that the bottom oven doesn't work unless the clock is set, which isn't clearly explained in the instruction manual.
The grill should only be used with the top oven door open but if you forget and close the door with the grill on, the grill cuts off.

- The GAS MARK NUMBERS for the oven control knobs are extremly difficult to unless you bend down.

+ Easy to clean and keep clean.

- No temperature control on grill.

+ It fits in well with the kitchen units and provides useful extra work top space

- I would refer the bottom oven door to open from the top.

+ easy to clean, quick to heat up, stylish and 'solid'

- struggled a bit with timer/clock function as only 2 buttons for all options

+ Design, performance, ease of cleaning and solid construction

- Some difficulty in seeing exact heat position of knobs without crouching down so that eye is in line with control panel.

+ nice design and ease of use.

- at the moment none

+ very easy to use

- none to date

+ Great looking cooker, lovely big ovens and good hob. Easy to cook with and easy to clean

- Only changes I would make would be to have a medium sized gas ring on the front row instead of the small one as this is probably what I would use the most often. At the moment there is a small and large gas ring on the front and two medium sized ones on the back..... small point and I will probably get used to it.

+ easy to use, easy to clean, generally very good

- not easy to open main oven door when you are grilling in top oven.

+ Looks very nice. Both the ovens are spacious.

+ easy to use. Lights in both ovens.

- Controls can get very warm. Only 2 shelves in oven

+ looks good, being stainless steel its strong

- harder to clean

+ All parts of the hob and glass inserts in oven doors can be removed and cleaned. The ceramic hob is flat so is easy to clean. Pans don't slide on the hob. The lights in the ovens are great for checking progress of cooking. Ovens and hobs give off good heat and the cooker is very stylish in looks.

- I've had this cooker for a few weeks and I can find no fault with it. Its been a great purchase, well worth the money.

+ excellent cooker, looks good too, easy to clean.

- Didnt come with a safety chain to attach to the wall

+ Second oven is good

- knobs can get hot because of fan vent at front of oven

+ Look great and easy to keep clean

- control knobs can get a bit hot when the oven is on

+ Looks good. Very stylish for the money. Hob and ovens easy to light. Lots of shelf positions in the main oven. Black enamel on hob is easy to keep clean. Black smoked glass lid looks stylish. Control knobs are not plastic.

- Control knobs can get hot when oven is on, even if it's the main oven. Can't use grill with top oven door closed.

+ It is a sturdy good looking product and look good in a traditional or modern kitchen.

+ the top oven is absoultey fantastic, really impressed. the timer function for delayed cooking is very useful

- the second you touch the door glass it marks.

+ Easy to use and clean.
Different sized hobs allows for fast and furious cooking, for woks etc, or tiny controlled heat for slow cooking.
Easy to take apart, most parts fits in dishwasher.

- Cleaning but no more than any other cooker, unless that is, you like cleaning cookers.

+ Sleek looks fit into any modern kitchen, easy to use and keep clean.

+ Very easy to use and clean

- I still havn't used the timing mechanism yet as I will need some time to study it

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Knobs get hot when oven is on

+ Very good - stylish design and good performance.

- The front facia gets a bit hot during use and it can be tricky to open the lower oven door when the grill is in use - only minor points, though.

+ It looks really nice

- The lower oven would randomly stop working and wouldn't ignite and sometimes just switch itself off.
I had to call out an engineer to fix it which I find quite appauling as it was brand new appliance.....

+ looks good.Both ovens perform very well. Easy to clean hob.

- Burners on hob are rather "all or nothing" - not as controllable as on my old cooker. Grill also not very controllable

+ cover gas shut off

- hard to clean

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Oven setting dial not clear.Difficult to clean.

+ Excellent design, good size burners and wide main oven.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Great looking cooker with some lovely features. Works well. Very pleased with purchase overall.

- Only negative is the numbers on the dials for the oven are very small so you have to double check it's on the right setting.

+ A freestanding appliance that looks as good as a 'built in'
Easy to use and very efficient

- Stainless steel finish and enamel linings mean you have to keep on top of the cleaning.

+ Nice looking cooker, excellent performance

- flimsy control knobs - suspect life expectancy of these will not be long

+ Easy to clean, looks very smart.
Main oven has many shelf positions

- Difficult to see/set oven regulo settings - indicators on knobs must be viewed at eye level.

+ Pretty much everything.

- It is worth noting that the grill cannot be adjusted and therefore you have to move the rack up and down on the many supports to very the cooking times. I haven't found this to be any bother though.

+ looks good. plenty of room in both ovens

- none so far

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Sharp edges to the stainless steel surround on the glass lid

+ Looks good and is easy to use some good features on it such as the gas cut off - excellent cooker i have always used electric before this one and am very impressed.

- none

+ It looks very neat and is pleasant on the eye. The double oven is great as we don't always need to use the larger section and the small oven is more than adequate.

- None so far.

+ excellent cooker

- very very very hard to clean. leaves smudges all over

+ Good looking in any kitchen. Spent a lot of time choosing a new cooker and weighing up the pros and cons. I am very satisfied.

- None as yet

+ Design is up to date and very pleasant. The door glass is removable/cleanable and I believe that the entire door can be taken off for cleaning! Seems very well made - nice cast-iron pan supports. Very easy to use timer and auto features. Nice to have double oven with fan assistance. Overall am exceedingly pleased, it's well made and good value

- Only slight detraction is front LH burner ring is very small one for simmering, I'd personally prefer this at the back - but this is nit-picking

+ easy to start and easy to use

- electric clock not easy to understand / set without the manual

+ Light switch in oven to see what is going on. Different size burners and easily regulated

- Difficult to see from the control what the oven temp is set at

+ Very simple to operate and we like the cooking performance. Nice, sleek design that ties in nicely with new kitchen units.

- The main oven control is sometimes hard to get to the right number. Needs alot of cleaning to keep the stainless steel front clean.

+ looks great

- Cooling Fan - which is quite loud - keeps going for some considerable time after you have stopped cooking which can be anoying if you have like us got a kitchen diner. Bottom oven seems to work better than top.

+ Efficient, good capacity, stunning looks

- Control dials on the front - not the easiest to see what they are set to (i.e. Gasmark settings)

+ easy to use and keep clean due in part to removable glass doors, self lighting large oven. very smart looking cooker

- none

+ Having aa double oven is lovely. Plenty of room. I like being able to slide the glass out to clean the doors

- hard to keep clean on the outside

+ Easy to clean and use

- Havent found any yet

+ Looks good

- The timer is causing confusion but we will get there?

+ great styling, light in both ovens (top and bottom) stays relatively cool on top when oven is in use. easy to clean top and very stable cast iron pan holders.

- gradations on the oven knobs are a bit close together and tricky to read.

+ Nice looking, fairly easy to use, good safety features.

- Grill a bit slow, timer does not show countdown. Minor irritants.

+ looks good! cooks good!

- plate behind the knobs gets quite hot and fan stays on for a long time i wouldn`t recomend this for an open plan kitchen diner living space because it can be quite noisy but it`s fine in my kitchen

+ Double ovens are really effective. The main oven is larger than many other cookers that we've seen. the ovens give a refreshingly "clean" cooking smell.
The cooker, in general, is a real pleasure to use.

- The fan is a bit disconcerting until you get used to it.
The layout of the burners does not feel instinctive.

+ Stylish contemporary look with great oven performance.

- Top oven handle heats dangerously hot when using both top and bottem over and the oven top burners are not overly powerful but adequate.

+ The smaller oven is very good for general cooking leaving the big oven to coupe with family meals. The larger burner works very well for Woks.

- Small simmer burner would be better at the back, other than that a well designed cooker.

+ good clean lines making it easy to clean

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Looks Good - well finished.

- Took a while to work out how to light the main oven and the grill handle didn't fit.

+ very pleaseing to the eye , easy to use and very efficient.

- have to keep wipeing it down as it marks easily

+ design and layout. Love the pull out glass to help clean and bright lighting

- none so far

+ it has two good sized ovens giving it the capacity of o range cooker without taking up the space

- I woukd have preferred the pan supports not to have been cast iron but something slightly easier to clean
