Elizabeth, Tonbridge Family cook

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Can't fault the excellent design and quality for smaller width cooker. Surprisingly big oven and very fast and efficient warm up time. Top oven very efficient for cooking smaller meals.
Bad points:: Confusing gas dials going from highest to lowest power level (the exact opposite of my last cooker) also having to hold switch in for 5 seconds before ignition can be annoying but suppose is a safety issue ! Really needs another shelf in oven and handle included in price as will have to buy as extras adding to already higher range price.

Andy, Oxford Family cook

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: One the very few dual fuel cookers at this size.
Good looking and easy to use.
Range of colours.
Easy to clean.
Clock, beeper and oven timer.
Bad points:: Had some trouble with the lid springs catching the mounting at the back. The covers had been bent inwards in transit but was easily sorted.
No handle for the grill pan you have to order it separately!
Oven smells when first used as others have mentioned.

Main heating type	Convection
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.
