Stacey, Nottingham

+ Huge hob so can cook lots of things at same time. Same applies to oven but also bad points for oven

- oven heats directly from oven floor with a hot spot where it's lit therefore easily burning things on the bottom but not browning the top. Also grill pan in oven is huge and has to be removed each time oven is used finding a suitable place can cause problems. The guard that has to be used when using the grill gets incredibley hot and is very easy to burn yourself on it when trying to tend to food under the grill.In general the whole front of the cooker gets VERY hot when using the oven which can be worrying when little ones are around.

+ looks good and the hob is good, large oven

- the grill is too big and not east to regulate. the grill tray is the problem as it is 3 feet its heavy and had to find a place to put it down. also there is an additional part which has to be fitted when using the grill also 3 feet long which needs to be put away when not in use.

+ Large oven comfortably sits two oven trays side by side

- problems with igniting, control knobs loose and the plate rings that support the burners tarnished with first use, which does not clean off.

william, London

+ Very few, the wok ring is useful.

- The grill is 3 ft long, try fitting that in a washing bowl. The gas knobs get extremely hot when using the grill, a shield was supplied only when I asked for it.

Steve, Ludlow

+ It looks great for the price that we paid for it. It's user friendly and food cooks well in and on it.

- It could do with a compartment to slide the grill in. The grill pan gets in the way if you are cooking with the oven. The grill is far too gib aswell.

Catriona, London

+ The wok burner is just amazing. The size of the oven is great as well - good for cooking cakes!

- Cleaning is a pain... The hobs have a tendency to go out especially if you turn them down which is frustrating - lost count of the times my kitchen has stank of gas. The flame on the bottom of the oven tends to cause food to overcook on the base

+ Very efficient oven.
Easy to see food cooking in oven.
Gas burners very efficient and easy to use.

- Oven cooks from the bottom, still experimenting with cooking times, found food burns underneath, the hottest part of the oven is the bottom, unlike a convential gas oven. Takes some getting used to!.

Paul, Canvey Island

+ excellent size
stylish design

- alot of people have moaned about the grill tray, but if it's clean, just leave it in the oven, or store it under the cooker.
NONE- SOME PEOPLE JUST LIKE A MOAN
people said it was too low( about and inch below worktop height) but if it was instaled by a corgi reg fitter they would have raised to the correct height.

paul, littlehampton

+ the cooker works really well but i think an option of a small grill pan would be good and also the top iron grids that support the saucepans are too open allowing small pans to tip even mid size pans 7" + are unstable . if i had not allready sold my old one and re arranged the kitchen i would have sent it back

- see above

Chris, Hartlepool

+ A quality product for a very good price.

- When using the grill, there is a metal plate which has to be positioned in place prior to using, to protect the oven knobs from being damaged. This is fine, but you would of thought that there would be a place on the oven to store the plate when not in use. If there is please inform me. Apart from that a 1st class product.

+ different sized hobs, large oven.

- grill in one and have to use metal plate when using plate and have to place it under cooker as too big to store else where. Also difficult to turn on oven and grill as pilot light switches off. Have to hold for more than 15 seconds for the oven/grill to ignite.

- All the cooker gets very very hot when oven in use. Knack to lighting hobs turn to high then to low then ignite with sparker, grill totally impractical to large use,would be better with a glass or steel lid to cover hobs when not in use.

Jon, Lingfield

+ Overall very good. Big oven, good burners, easy to clean

- Having to put guard up when grilling and trying to remember to do so!!
Found out that it is more efficient when grill rack is taken out during oven cooking, where to put grill pan out when you have done that is another matter!
Sometimes have trouble lighting grill and cooker, flame does not stay lit until it warms up, Its easier to turn down pressure, ignite then let go knob, but sometimes it still does not stay lit.
