Belling 668 Width: 600mm Electric Cooker Reviews

+ design, looks, quality of finish
temperature control of ovens and hob

- none

+ The Belling does everything i want it to do in an oven and having two ovens is a bonus and the grill is fab.

- The guide that comes with the oven is not very user friendly, for example when it tells you to turn the "oven function" button it doesn't show you a picture of which of the 4 buttons is the function button (i say 4 because the other 4 knobs are obviously for the hob!) so it was a bit of trial and error to get it right so not impressed with that, good job i'm not thick else it would have baffled me completely!

+ Easy to clean. Very even cooking. Plenty of useful features ob main oven. Plenty of choice of oven rack positions. Racks transferable between main & top ovens.

- Grill takes ages to warm up. Timer buttons feel flimsy. 'Hob' hot warning light easy to obscure if you use an oven top protector.

+ Heats up very quickly,
Grill in both top and bottom ovens,
Easy to clean!

- Main oven is not quite as big as my last oven but I have now started to use both ovens at same time - works well!!

+ looks nice

- very hard to use, just to do the simplest of things, i.e. Turn on the main oven

Ceramic top
Halogen ring

- Shelves too stiff
No anti tip device on shelves
Faulty clock when cooker arived, stuck on a program so we could not use manually
Not enough shelves
Smaller oven than previous Belling Format
Finish is very poor compared with previous and more flimsy
Large gap behind oven fills with dust (situated on end of run of kitchen units)
A backward step from previous Belling Format.

+ everything you want

- the cooker I replaced was a belling it ha d wheels on the back this one did't.

+ Easy to use and get used to the dials etc. Cooks well - really good cakes!

- Not sure how easy the bottom oven is going to be to clean

+ Looks good, but more importantly the halogen ring is fantastic, keeps the pot just simmering. The dual grill is very efficient, with only two of us in the house. Also the top oven heats up quickly so this is more efficient. I use these points to compare with my old Belling (purchased only 6 years ago) which did none of these things. Great improvement for Belling. Cooker wasn't cheap but I definitely got what i paid for.

- The instruction book doesn't give you pictures of the knobs to explain what they do. Telling me to turn on the top oven without pointing out the picture of the symbols and knobs isn't great. I have to stick my head in the oven to see if i've got the right knob. I'm not a bimbo.!

+ Neat, compact with surprisingly large ovens
We like the "Hot Ring Warning Light"

- Instruction booklet should contain more visual diagrams to accompany the words, symbols are not easy to follow.

+ Does everything I need and more - I'm enjoying cooking and baking again! Previous electric cooker was slow and lacking in features.
The big oven is amazingly versatile.

- I miss my Aga ovens with all that space!!!!!

+ Well styled cooker with everything functioning easily.

- I am unable to see the time displayed because of the blue colour which doesn't show up in daylight hours.

+ Ease of cooking, ease of controls

- Does not feel like a sturdy built cooker, but time will tell
