Belling G755 Width: 500mm Gas Cooker Reviews

+ Nice design

- Grill takes a while to get going- Could be better!

+ Nice all round product. Does the job required.

- Removable handle for toaster pan not easy to use as does not feel safe. Awkward to handle having to angle it downwards, and easily slips off.
Would prefer the hottest ring to be on the back row. On lighting it,bursts into flame a bit too forcefully.
You do have to stoop down a lot to see into oven / grill.
Smaller roasting tin had to be purchased as oven size not immediately obvious.
Rubber stopper on glass lid kept falling off. Now lost one altogether.

+ Very Stylish.
Good warm oven - heats quickly.
Hob easy to clean.
Hob controls very responsive and easy to use.

- Internal oven width is much narrower than my previous 50cm oven and oven burner is quite far forward - meaning shelves don't go back very far and have a vertical 'stop' edge to prevent baking trays going over the flame.
My previous oven was also a 50cm width, but now many of my existing baking trays will not fit in this oven. In particular 12 portion muffin / cake / yorkshire pudding trays and similar sized flat trays and round pizza trays. This is purely a poor-design issue, which is why I've given design a low 3/10 rating.

+ Good size burners, easy to clean, has a glass cover

- Oven and grill size are a little small. We had to but new trays...etc and some of those didn't fit!

+ very easy to clean

- grill - no where to put the detachable handle except back under the grill on the grill pan!

+ apperence oven hob easy clean

- grill

+ It looks good, does a good job and was a reasonable price.

- The power lead wasn't long enough & needed extending .

+ Extremely well built, very safe controls, and great value.

+ Attractive design

- Too light - pulling the oven door pulls the cooker across the floor
Cooking time needs to be extended or temperature raised as the gas mark settings do not seem to be properly calibrated.
Excessive condensation forms on inside of glass lid.
Knobs for oven and grill need to remain pushed in for some seconds after gas is lit or they go out.

- very dissapointed with the product and the connection of the appliance.

+ looks nice and easy to clean

- when turning on the oven or grill, have to hold the buttons in for @ 5-10 secs or the gas goes out again. When the oven door is opened, the cooker is pulled foreward.

+ easy to use,gas automaticly cuts off on hob when lid is down ,nicely designed,

- none really,the handle on the grill pan is detachable feels a bit unsafe.thats it

+ Looks good. Nice and compact. Easy to use.

- The oven is low in view of the seperate grill, so you find yourself squatting to open it and check food.

+ Very easy to use and neat after cleaning

+ Atractive design, powerfull grill.

- Oven is low makig it difficult to veiw cooking progress, the grill has gone out twice for no apparent reason.

- The grill and oven are difficult to light and the ignite switch is already broken so we are having to light it with matches

+ Very sleek, easy to use

- could do with lights in oven to see whats cooking and maybe a timer

+ cooks fast. Compact and nice looking

- Reviewer left no comment

+ The colour and overall appearance of the cooker were just what I wanted to match my kitchen

- The oven takes too long to light - after the oven has lit you have to hold the gass button down for at least 15 seconds for the oven to stay lit

+ Neat and compact.Good that the gas shuts off if the lid comes down while hob in use.

- Takes a long time for the oven to realy get hot but once it does its great.

+ fits perfectly into a very small space in a tiny kitchen but still provides everything a full size cooker offers

- have to choose carefully which pots to use to be able to use all four rings at the same time

+ very easy to use, good compact design, easy to clean, oven compartments good size great cooking times.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ its easy to clean

- the oven could do with being a bit wider but its ok for a small family

+ Great Design with its Light clear Glass top over the Gas rings. The large Handels to the Grill and Oven are a good point.

- The bad point is having no internel light in the Oven area when cooking.

+ A really smart cooker with good looks, clever gas cut off and good performance. I bought it for my mum because my sister already has one and loves it!

- The only problem with the design of the product is that there is a panel at the back of the cooker which sticks out (this is not mentioned on the measurements given) therefore the cooker is not able to be pushed fully into its housing. (This could just be where the gas intake is in my house but it means that the cooker sticks out a few inches passed the work surfaces!)

+ good looking appliance, easy to use, low level so it is perfect for a disabled user overall very happy with our purchase.

- due to the colour and finish of the cooker it is difficult to maintain the original look of the cooker.

+ It looks good and cooks well

- It is a little small

+ Safety as gas cannot be turned on for rings unless glass top is lifted (good when small children are about).

- Gas can be turned on, on grill and oven as no safety cut out as with rings (need to watch small children don't tamper with these knobs).

+ colour

- takes a long time to light thus using more gas than needed
grill pan keeps coming off handle
shelves difficult to get in and out of oven

+ Easy to use and clean.

+ neat and attractive,easy to use

+ Nice to look at, easy to use

- my previous cookers ignition button was on the other side, minor thing but annoying at first

+ Dose the perfect job

- When grill door open, Control knobs get quite hot!

+ Easy to clean around the wells when things boil over.

- Detachable handle for grill pan takes some getting used too and can be akward to take off.

+ glass lid

- has a plug which i hadnt noticed and we had too extend through a wall to get to a plug socket. if i had known it had a plug i wouldnt have bought it. the oven only seems to cook at its highest temp because there is no real control between the settings of 7 to 9. the grill is ridiculous and for the first time in over ten years i have had to go back to using a frying pan for bacon and sausages. suasages would take about 3 days to cook on this grill! also the grill pan rack has broken in a number of places. so no i would not recommend this cooker to anyone

+ The cooker looks good, it is a perfect size for my kitchen and because there are varying sizes of rings on the hob, it is very economical.

- To date I haven't found any bad points

+ Value for money

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Cooker is nice and compact looking. It is extremely easy to use. Absolutely idiot proof.

- The electronic ignition is not battery operated but mains. Therefore a socket is required behind the cooker. I use a gas cooker partly because I did not have an electricity supply close by therefore needed an electrician to fit one.
Also on ignition you need to hold the gas knobs in for 15 seconds or the flame goes out.

+ Oven works well. Accurate temperature. Hob simmers nicely.

- Fiddly grill pan handle.

+ Good Range of Burners & Good Performance In Cooking
Smart In Appearance
Easy To Keep Clean

-
MAIN Oven Too Low To Floor ( Back B reaking If Used For Long Periods )
P. S Had To Raise Appliance 4 " Off Floor To Eleviate This Problem.

+ easy to clean simply laid out so easy to understand controls.
all you need in a smaller cooker

- the hob ring covers seem a litttle flimsy and may be damaged more easily over time

+ lean Lines, easy to use and Cost effective

- Non up to now

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Don't like the detatchable handle for the grill pan. A recipe for disaster. Lighting the grill and oven can be a bit hit or miss too.

+ Ease of use. Type of appliance we were looking for. Value for money. Appearance.

- I haven't found anyrhing to dislke about it.

+ gas cut off when lid falls down

- does not stay cut off when lid relifted

+ Easy ignition for oven.
Great all round cooking in oven even though it's not fan assitsed.
Grill gives good coverage across the width of the grill pan.
Glass lid is a bonus.
Very good value and no comparison to similar priced cookers from Indesit (which is what we had previously).

- Can't fit a pizza tray flat on the oven shelf due to guards at the back to prevent things getting in the way of the flame.

+ It is relatively efficient.

- Think the design is back to front. The ignition is on the right, which takes some getting used to if you have to depress the nob after ignition for the count of 5 (would be OK if you are left handed). The smallest pan point is at the right, rear hand side. I find the detachable grill handle a nuisance. The glass lid needs to be raised when using the grill and oven, otherwise it collects a great deal of condensation.

+ Small and compact - good looking and very easy to use.

- None

+ good value for money

- sometimes gas goes out and you have to re-light, but it does light second time.

+ nice appearance

- grill takes ages to cook anything harder to clean than most cookers

+ very neat design and easy to use

- grill is a little small

+ ease of use and good on the eye.

- no timer .

+ compact, easy to cleen, value for money,well made.

- numbers on dial for oven could of been bigger ,

+ easy to use easy to clean

- oven bit to low on floor

+ Very attractive appliance. Easy to use. Easy to keep clean.

- Quite expensive for a single oven appliance.

+ easy clean - powerful. easy to use for a first time gas cooker user. good for small family.

- knobs dont turn right to the highest number 9 for the over.

+ Very pleased with purchase

- Reviewer left no comment

+ havent relly got much to say, it does evevrything that i need a cooker to do.

- i wasnt sent some metal part and i dont know what to do with them and oven takes really long to heat up.

+ very compact, good looking,

- dificult to keep clean,tends to rattle a bit

+ Easy to use. Has built in safety controls on grill and oven

- grill takes a bit of getting used to. i'm used to an eye level one.

+ Glass cover looks nice. chrome looks nice

- simmer setting cannot be changed and is too high. The oven has a strange factory smell which has not yet gone and it a couple of months since purchase. The oven inside is much smaller than I expected considering my old cooker was the same size. The shelves have a back splash on and it will not fit a normal sized pizza tray in. The food falls through the grill tray.

+ Easy to use,cooks evenly(my last cooker cooked the outside but not the middle of some things), value for money and great design.

- Takes a little longer to cook things than the reccommended time and most things need cooking right at the top of oven.Also the oven shelves are quite small.

+ Nice sleek look and easy controls

- Oven is a bit slow to light

+ A good looking model, excellent value for money. Compared to the same sort of style in other makes the price of this one was brilliant.

- Handle on the grill pan too bulky and the grill door coulld do with opening down a touch further to enable it to be flat.

+ looks worth twice the price

- grill handle is detachable & tricky

+ very easy to use and keep clean.

- My baking tray won't fit in the oven

+ It is an attractive cooker, the glass lid keeps the hob clean,and its a pleasure to use.

- It doesn't have any bad points, not that i've found anyway.

+ Glass cover; easy to clean.

- Size of oven cavity, very small.

+ Looks good in graphite colour. oven cooks evenly.

+ It works when you use it.

- \you have to hod in buttons for along period to keep flames lit in oven and grill. It is the most 'tinniest' cooker I
have ever had. You catch yourself on the hob guards and frequently pull them off even when pans are on them. It is not easy to clean and everything moves on the cooking hobs. the gas switches are in such a place that you catch them when you are cooking and dont notice. Only when the glass lid is down does the gas stop flowing if you havent already noticed. It is a cheap and nasty piece of equipment that I will never buy again. I am a single mum and can afford little so had to make do. I NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

+ It looks good and cooks meals quickly

- None

+ Easy to use controls
Overall good quality design and looks

- Glass lid steams up when the grill/oven on but hob not in use.

+ Very good value for money, even heat (unlike old cooker!) glass door, easy to clean

- No timer
