Electrolux Insight EKC5545X Width: 540mm Electric Cooker Reviews

+ Stylish and very easy to use and keep clean

- Setting indicators on dials not too clear.

+ Very quiet and cool on outside when oven on. Hob heats up very quickly. Found it's best to wipe hob with damp cloth while still warm to remove spills.

- Thought both ovens were programmable but only main. Wish stainless steel went at least part round the sides rather than just on front, as black steel shows where cooker sticks out from surrounding units. Had some trouble connecting up as holes not big enough to 'clamp' conductors into hole as per instructions, and screws not long enough for full loop round of conductors. Found a way which worked in the end but instructions weren't overly helpful. Levelling up was easier with magic gliders on feet.

+ oven heats up quickly
fan keeps kitchen cooler
easy to clean ovens

- ceramic hob easily stains and takes a while to get it clean. Can only get marks off with Hobbrite which was recommended.

+ Easy to use, oven(s) very quiet when on. Hobs heat up very quickly

- Grill pan handle could be designed better to put on and off, grill pan wire rack a bit flimsy!
Not really a bad point, but if they could include a 3rd shelf in the main oven for the price you pay for this cooker.

+ EASE OF USE. HOBS HEAT UP QUICKLY. GREAT DESIGN AND FAB TO LOOK AT

- KNOBS A BIT FLAKY, THE STEEL VERSION MARKS EASILY.

+ Easy to keep clean fast heat and the advantage of the two ovens

- The control knobs are difficult to see, would suggest that the raised bit be marked in white so that it would be easy to see if the corresponding plate was on

+ Looks very stylish,
Hob heats up very fast,
Hob is easy to clean,
both ovens very efficent.

- Handle on grill pan badly designed, hard to slot in,
Bottom oven bulb blew after 2 weeks

+ Good quality cooker overall. Easy to view what's cooking. Seems quick to get to temperature.

- The handle on the grill pan is awkward to put on. The grill doesn't allow you to leave it on when finished cooking. I found it very fiddley to attach to the grill pan so gave up and use an oven glove instead.

+ It does what it promises to do in a quite, efficient way - unlike my previous cooker that had a fan oven which sounded like a 747, constantly needed cleaning and cooked very unevenly. By contrast this is a dream.

- None so far.

+ A good example of a piece of domestic equipment

- The controlls stand proud of the top surface and are vulnerable.I have already clipped one.

+ Works well, looks good,

- but grill pan handle has to click off (easy) in order to close top oven door.

+ There are simple instructions and not lots of unneccessary functions which I will never use - hooray in this world of technology, and appliance that simply and easily does everything I want it to.

- None!

+ Hob & ovens quick to heat up, easy to clean

- Easy to confuse hob controls & turn on wrong hob ring

+ Angled controls. Raised lip at front. Light in top oven. Glass doors to both ovens. Rings respond quickly.

- Some sharp edges on stainless steel trim. Poor user manual/cookery advice, used to get decent cookery/recipe book with them. Black control knobs could do with a silver marker on the rectangular raised bit.
