Score 8.0/10+ Excellent value for money with all the features that we wanted.
- The stainless steel chimney does not extend a great deal so can be short if you have high ceilings and want it to go all the way up to the ceiling.
purchased 13 Mar 2009
Husna, St. Albans , “Busy mum of three”
Score 9.0/10+ It looks very trendy. Very spacious on top and inside the ovens. The burners are a good size. The ovens are exceptional. Ideal for larger families. They come with all the racks included, no need to buy more.
- Needs daily polishing from finger prints (I have small children) and dust (every speck shows up). A drop of water and it leaves a stain! But all-in-all a very good product.

Peter, St Albans , “Highly recommended”
Score 9.0/10+ Love the look and feel of this cooker, a really nice focal point of our kitchen. The rings heat very effeciently and the oven cooks very nicely.
- Can't think of any bad points, but put Ease of use down as an 8 because when I'm cooking toast with the door shut, it's a job to see when the toast is done!

Score 9.0/10+ easy installation and use -looks like a more expensive product and good comments from friends.
- Cooker Knobs get hot if doors open- ie for grilling -it does state to keep doors closed when grilling -but it it difficult to monitor food with door shut.

Linzi, Yorks
Score 9.0/10+ Just can't beat this package, great value for money and a neat appliance. I was dubious about the spalshback and hood but they're quite acceptable. All looks great in the new kitchen, and cooks well.
- Being Stainless Steel is difficult to keep clean, but its a small price to pay. The knobs are oversize and the clock is a bit naff.

Excellent cooker for price. Would recommend.
Two grills, two ovens, fast to heat up,v stylish look. This cooker is amazing value for money, and I would have expected to pay at least two hundred more.

- Knobs a bit cheap-looking annd unattractive. Keep leaning on the knobs for the gas rings and activating them!

Score 9.0/10+ It looks good and costs a lot less than many similar products on the market. It was easy to install. Clear instructions.
- The knobs are a little big, which looks nice, but when you have toddlers in the house, they can easily turn them which can be dangerous. It takes the hob a little longer than my last cooker to heat up the food.

Score 9.0/10+ Fan oven very quiet, hob very spacious and great to cook on. Hood also fairly quiet on even the fastest fan setting. Design of the cooker is very clean and modern not trying to look like an aga unlike some of the other cookers in this price range.
