- Only one bad point really; the main oven internal removable glass door panel shattered while I was cleaning it gently, it was replaced free by Belling but I am now scared to remove and clean the new one as I could not have been more careful and it frightened the life out of me, almost exploding as I gently rubbed it. The glass was all over the place and took me ages to find and clean up.It shattered like a car windscreen but some small slithers cut me as I was cleaning up.

+ Easy view windows at a level to aid any one with back problems. Heats up qucikly therefore saving energy.

- not easy to keep clean unless it's done after every use.

- You have to have the grill door open which causes smoke

+ Easy to clean , very effecient, good looking .

- not found any yet

+ The produce seems energy efficient and basically does what it is advertised to do, although I am having problems understand the grill!

- Cosmetically I cannot seem to clean the outside, the stainless steel part of the oven. It always seems to have fingerprints on it even though nobody has touched it. Even after cleaning I cannot get rid of the marks on the casing which have been there from day one.

+ everything about this oven so far is a1

- The control knobs are slightly stiff to turn and because they're smooth my hands slip on them. They would be better ridged so as to give a firmer grip

- Switch for puting on the oven needs to be turned until it clicks on to the oven and off of grill mode and my father who I bought this for has had some difficulty in getting this it would have been better if the switch was larger to give elderly people something more substantial to get a hold of. Otherwiase seems to be quite good and worth the money.

+ Easy to use. Stylish. Good brand name.

- None so far!

+ Bought as a package - excellent value. The hob and oven look very smart.

- The hob is a little "chunky" looking, but overall nothing bad!

+ Looks smart - has "updated " my kitechn and is cooking food really well - good visibility when cooking.Real value for money.

- So far have not found any!

+ large clear doors that you can observe what is being cooked or baked without opening the doors.
Appears to be easily cleaned.

- Would have needed an extra tray for the main oven when using the top grill pan .

+ Good looking and very competitively priced

- None identified

+ Looks nice, not expensive, easy to use timer, love the inside door glass that slides out to clean

- Can't think of any - saw reviews where people said when taking out the glass inner door the door itself sprang back and smashed the glass, but it tells you in the instructions to leave the door at 30 degree angle so then this doesn't happen.

+ very good for the price

- no bad points

+ really nice oven and very easy to clean

- none

+ works, and looks good

- not very deep, glass door can bang on metal inserts

+ so easy to use set up was easy

- none

- No choice of heat settings on the grill, only half or full grill.

+ Very powerful you may find you have to adjust the temperature to stop things from burning.

- Grill too powerful - only put food under on half power as full power just incinerates everything!
Grill pan handle very fiddly and difficult to put on/off.

+ simple controls, quick efficient cooker. looks good

- none yet

+ It cooks fantastic - Produces great Yorkshire Puddings and makes the cakes rise well.
Grills good.

- Shelving - They pull straight out, end up with everything on the floor (so to speak) - on the drop down lids!! I feel the shelving and shelving supports are very poor design and quality. I'd had my old belling cooker for nearly 20 years and this was a very good strong feature. The doors would be better if they came down to a more even level. The knobs are very poor design and prove very difficult to turn.

- Top oven has no fan

+ Efficient good even cooking and simple to understand

- The nobs for the oven hard hard to grip and slip through your fingers when turning them no good for old arthritic fingers

+ Excellent fan oven- cooks very very well. Looks lovely, efficient, just very pleased with it. Was worried about marks being left on stainless steel as everyone seemed to notice it in their reviews but after 6 weeks we've not noticed really, it's not an issue! A lovely oven.

- Not self-cleaning- tough to remove grease!

+ This is fantastic value for money as it looks as good as much more expensive models and the ovens and grill themselves work well.
It is fairly easy to clean and doesn't take long and the manufacturers tip in the booklet to clean the stainless steel outer with baby oil saves money on expensive cleaners and it works!

- The clock sticks and is very difficult and temperamental to adjust or set. What should be easy and take a couple of minutes takes a lot of time and is very frustrating when nothing happens and then suddenly the counter start to move quickly and then stops and sticks again. I do not set the timer on my oven and if someone did they would have to have the engineer out to put this right - I dread the clocks going backward/forwards or a power cut which happened to me recently but it does eventually work if you stick at it.
If it were not for this fault I would rate the product 9 out of 10 overall so it is such a shame that it is let down by this problem

+ CLEAN LOOKING AND EASY TO USE

- THE GRILLE IS EITHER HALF OR FULL ELEMENT AND ON OR OFF, NO ADJUSTMENT

+ Brilliant value, easy to use and keep clean.

- The fan is noisy (maybe they all are?)

+ It works

- Only two settings on grill. Have to move shelf to adjust heat on food. Last oven had variable control

+ timer setting is really quick and easy,
fan doesnt stay on forever after your finished cooking

- top oven is alot smaller than i thought it would be otherwise its so far been lovely to use.
only thing i will say is i have spents ages looking for the right double oven before i parted with my money and in the end i had to make a quick decision, if you can look in a shop before you buy online to make sure your really happy.

+ Stylish, heats up quickly, cook s evenly.

- Timer and oven timer fiddly and confusing from instructions.

+ Good visibility: wide glass doors and good lighting means you can easily see food cooking in both the top and the main ovens. Great adjustability on the shelves in the main oven.

- The door of the top oven/grill doesn't open flat, making it difficut to rest hot dishes. The handle on the grill pan isn't very secure.

+ This oven is a great price and works well. It looks goood too.
The oven is hotter than the one I was used to so Yorkshire Puddings no longer stick and food is cooking quicker.

- The top oven ie; the second smaller over takes a while to come to come to temperature.
However the grill works well and is very hot.

+ looks good like the main oven at botton

- none

- Have not found any yet. Not sure how easy to clean it will be as it has not been dirty yet!

+ Fits in well in my kitchen , looks good, easy to work and clean.

- Not found any!

+ Easy to use. Looks good. Lights in both ovens an advantage. Hob very easy to use. Very good buy for the price.

- Oven glass doors hard to clean.

+ Value for money

- The controls on the hob mean that they will collect dust, grease etc.

+ Looks good and main oven a nice size

- Grill gets very hot very quickly and you cannot adjust the heat - you can lower the grill pan but that doesn't help that much.
The timer isn't easy to work out and I haven't been able to change the time on the oven (it got turned off in power cut and it won't reset!!

+ I love my new double oven, i can cook everything altogether and thats why i bought it. I also like that the glass on both doors is removable so really easy to clean.

- Got to watch the grill as it can burn food quite quickly as there are only 2 settings either on half or full and lowering shelf not much help but hey when you get something new you have to get used to it.

+ looks smart in my kitchen. cleans well especially the hob ie no need for scourers just hot sopy cloth makes it nice.

- make sure u read manual first as i tried to be clever and work the bottom oven hence didnt realise u had to press a button first .

+ Good value for money with the double oven

- hob is broken
