Kenwood CK404 Width: 900mm Electric and Gas Cooker Reviews

+ excetionally pleased with product

- was a bit surprised to find that I had to go out and buy connection for the gas as last time purchased nre cooker that was included

+ Just a good, solid cooker, great fan oven and smaller ovens for that quick snack, burners are good and the overall package was great value with the extractor hood and splashback thrown in.

- Make sure there are no obstructions behind cooker as it does not have much clearence (I have had to move the cooker position, I could not get the cooker back to the wall to meet the splashback because of the incoming gas point.

+ smaller oven for 'cooking for one!'is great, hobs great, looks good and is definitely good value for money!

- Oven timer is very poor - it rings once and that's it! Have burnt several lasagnes from missing the single buzz sound - would be much better if there was a constant buzzing that required manual intervention in order to switch off the buzzer. Could do with ovens getting hotter more quickly

+ Dual oven and 5 ring hob

- Would prefer a kick plate at the bottom and for unit to come with a wok stand

+ Lovely Cooker that appears a lot more expensive than it was - absolute bargain

- Couldnt even make something up

+ Great design and easy to use. Hood and splashback were easy to install

+ in one word very good value for money

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Looks great, easy to use.

- Storage section at the bottom could do with a handle to ease opening. Scratches easily.

+ Good value for money, double oven - looks great in new kitchen

- The canopy's s/steel flue even with the supplied telescopic extension is not long enough to reach ceiling if you have a ceiling higher than 8ft - the height of the actual canopy is determined by the supplied s/s backsplash.
We have had to have a extra piece of S/S fabricated to suit

+ very good value, easy to use and looks great in my kitchen

- the large knobs, would be nice to see an option of knobs

+ Neat and sinple design with sturdy cast iron hob bases and usefull under oven storage, the second oven comes in very handy for grilling and keeping food warm when entertaining.

- the timmer is only a rough guide and the knobs could do with being a bit more sturdy with better temp gradients.

+ Love it, excellent value for money, yet to find any faults with the cooker. Easily converted to LPG, conversion jets included. Lots of compliments from friends. Haven't put up the extractor hood yet, hope it's as good as the cooker.

- The knobs are rather large and clumsy. Not a lot of room behind the cooker for pipework.

+ cooks food

- extractor hood broke down already

+ Very good price and value for money, certainly does the job

- There is only one small hob, not great if you want to simmer a few pans.

+ Very solidly made, excellent product, very easy to use.

- Large grill pan very large to store elsewhere when not in use, i.e. when using
large oven. Not a major problem though.

+ very easy to use - even the kids managed after just being shown once

- the fan oven makes a noise until it has been on for quite a while

+ easy to use energy efficient, good overall.

+ Both ovens have oven and grill functionality; No frills;

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good looking, inexpensive, large capacity

- no off timerand stupid little mechanical timer alarm noise lasts about 3 secs so you have to be listening out very carefully to no the time is up! Hob gets very hot when ovens are on and could be dangerous for kids and pets

+ The cooker looks amazing. It looks solidly built and spacious. Certainly gives the kitchen the wow factor.

- As with all these cookers that slot into a space, it's difficult to get them level. It says not to push or pull the cooker, but to lift it into position - impossible, if you have units either side of it. Also, you may get the cooker level away from the space, but when pushed back, the flooring isn't always the same, so it can still be unlevel. Raising or lowering the legs is also a difficult and frustrating business. But it must be emphasised that this isn't just a problem with this particular cooker. My husband managed to rock the cooker back to get at the legs and adjust them.

+ great product with dual cookers

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The centre burner should have two seperate controls - for ease of use

+ EASE OF USE AND STYLISH DESIGN WOULD FIT INTO ANY KITCHEN

- I CAN FIND NO BAD POINTS WITH THIS PRODUCT

+ Simple to use, easy to clean hob and lots of space.

- Legs not terribly sturdy but do the job fine.

+ Stylish design. Excellent vfm.

- Storage compartment not easy to open.

+ Value for money.
Good styling.
Good gas burners

- Lacking stay clean oven lining.

+ easy 2 use, can clean under cooker, having 5 cooking rings makes all the difference, meats really do cook as tender as brochure says

- as yet, nothing

+ Easy to use controls and timer. Good size larger oven. Both ovens cook very well.

- Shame there is no back splash like other ovens. Small oven only fits the very slim oven trays and I often find I have trays on a slant when I prepare without thinking.

+ Looks good and hob is just great.

- Timer is slightly flimsy but that is probably being too picky

+ Ease of use and performance.

- Just a personal thing - I would rather not had the big Kenwood sign on the front. For something like car stereos that is fine, but for a big cooker in a Kitchen this looks a bit silly.

+ great value for money, cant ask for more, :-)

+ Very good range cooker for a limited space. Like having large and small oven as this gives more economy than 2 large ovens.

- Stainless steel is attractive but polish has to be maintained.

+ extra space allows two to work
versatile, quick gas hob, precise ovens and grills

- concentration needed when usingight be because I have never used an electric grill grill - but that m

+ everything i have ever wanted at a great price and it looks great in my ikea kitchen which i also love. i looked at alot of ranges at higher prices but this one met all my needs without all those complecated features that are not needed and put the price up

- none

+ Easy to use and great having 2 ovens. Looks good too

- Not enough recess at the back - had to get gas pipe moved

+ Inexpensive and easy to use; I like the fact that it has two grills when cooking breakfast for small or large groups.

- Very little really but if I had to say something, the handle for the small grill doesn't really fit; it would be useful to have some sort of handle on the bottom draw.

+ great for family cooking or family and friends get togethers, love the wok ring for quick meals.

- none

+ Individual ovens are great,good value for money compared to other more expensive makes.

- Timer pretty useless
Fitting from back of cooker is male fitting therefore need a 1/2 inch brass socket in order to connect bayonet flexi hose.

+ Excellent value for money, easy to use,extra large gas hob useful for a bigger family.

- Oven not as powerful as our old model. Stainless steel bit tricky to keep clean

+ Great package deal, Cooker alone worth purchase price.

- None

+ DESIGN, STORAGE CONTROL

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very trendy look and the price was great.

- Nothing I have found yet.

+ its got a large fan and a smaller conventional oven . also has five rings great for when having large family dinners.

- knobs are weak (the break easy) also they stick out too much

+ Looks good, easy to use, very efficient.

- Extractor noisey and finger prints difficult to remove.

+ Instant and controllable heat for cooking on the hob and in the oven. Good selection of burner sizes.

- Shows up fingerprints badly on the pan draw but we can live with that.

+ looks good, well spaced hob and grill in each oven

- The second oven could do with being slightly wider

+ Nice looking, quiet, big enough to cook a meal for a big group of friends

- None really

+ good size, not as big as some ranger style cookers. Good storage for baking trays underneath. Perfect for a large family.

- no digital timer, only a dial timer which is not very accurate for 4 minute eggs!
Smaller over is quite narrow, some baking trays don't fit in.
