Guy, Worcester

+ Ovens heat up very quickly. The removable glass plates inside the doors help cleaning.

- Hob plates slow to heat and to cool down. No indication that the plate is on.ie no glow. One can burn one's hand easily.

Susan, Scottish Borders , “Keen cook & baker.”

+ I am a retired Home Economics teacher any have used dozens of different types and makes of cookers and I am so pleased that I decided to save up for this cooker. It is excellent - my baking is better than ever and my bread is superb. The size of this cooker is ideal for the space I had but the oven seems just as large as a wider cooker.
Cooking is even and the temperature is just right. It is all easy to clean and looks really good.
Solid hobs do take longer to heat up but very controllable and simmering is great .
I would definitely recommend this cooker.

+ We wanted a 55 cm wide cooker with good looks and a good specification. We found this in this cooker. It fits in the space between base units ideally and after using the cooker for 5 weeks so far we can not fault it.

Manu, Barningham, Suffolk

+ Like everything except the plates are taking too long to warm up and cleaning splashes are a problem. It would be better if the plates could be designed similar to those associated with flat surfaces.

- Doesn't have a backing plate, so splashes go straight on to the back wall.

Laura, Birkenhead , “Family cook” More like this »

+ This is a NICE cooker. Lovely sizeable oven, energy efficient, looks good, doesn't cost a bomb. It is a great improvement on our previous cooker and I am very pleased with it.

- Rings are a bit hard to clean and using either oven does make the top of the cooker get hot (something to be aware of if you have children).

Sheila, Bromsgrove , “delighted OAP of Bromsgrove”

+ looks elegant and smart, very easy to use. The fan cooling the knobs when top oven is on is much superior to the pull out guard on previous model (which I had owned for over 12yrs) The knobs are very definite in use and easy to read. The instruction booklet is clear and helpful and the cooker is very fast in operation

- The grill pan handle is a little fiddly but the concept of its use is good

Pat, Newton Blossomville

+ best looking 55cm cooker I could find for sale to fit the gap in my kitchen

- The glass doors get very very messy through normal use and I worry they may easily get broken taking them in and out for cleaning. Hob rings are very slow to respond, especially when turning the temperature down.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Family cook” More like this »

+ Love this new cooker! I find that the ceramic plates heat up perfectly well and no longer than any other ceramic hob I've used in the past. The main fan oven is a really good size, cooks food beautifully and the temperature is even throughout. The top oven is fantastic too and the grill is great. The self clean interior and removable glass inner on door will be a godsend for cleaning when the time comes. Excellent value for money, stylish and nice to be able to buy British!

- Cannot fault this cooker at all!

- Can't tell at a glance if hobs are on or off - could do with a light on each. Lower than I expected so does not come to height of bench.
