+ 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.

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.

+ 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!

+ 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.

- 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.
