When opening the Grill/oven after roasting water drains down the front onto the floor (The oven IS level!)
No electrical cable provided for installation.

+ Clean streamline design. Easy to use. Large oven and top oven capacity.

- No safety warning light to draw your attention to the hob if it is still hot.
Top oven could do with another wire shelf.

Ian, Tring, Herts , “Absolutely fantastic cooker”

+ Very stylish looking in white really lightens up kitchen. All controls mounted at an angle so you dont have to bend down to see what you are doing. Extra large top oven/ groll with light and glass door. This cooker is super value for money and stood out from everything else we looked at. Super low temperature available for slow cooking.

- Not an issue for us, but there is no timer. We had one on the old cooker and just found it a nuisance

Carol, Holyhead , “Good creative cook”

+ Design placing knobs on top easily easy to reach, see and clean. Oven sizes good. Smart looking.

- Hob marks easily and is difficult to clean. Fan in top oven so strong cools the whole room, good in summer perhaps but not in winter.

Alex, Camborne, Cornwall

+ Easy to use, fairly cheap for an AA rated oven. It's quiet and works well!

- No timer on the oven itself. Only 2 metal racks in the bottom oven, could do with a third. Hob marks easily and can be difficult to clean.

Christine, N.Lincs , “Contented customer”

+ The controls are designed so they're out of reach of my toddler grandson, which is excellent as he's at that stage of turning knobs etc. It's very easy to keep clean, this is the first time I've cooked by electric for years and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is, how quickly the elements cool down, and the grill/oven is a godsend for someone like myselfwho is disbled and finds using the large oven difficult (I leave that to my husband(

- None that I can think of.

Steve, Farnham , “Attention to Detail”

+ Nice and wide. Looks good. Sturdy and robust.

- Grill handle system is poorly designed. Not easy to fix or remove when hot. Would be better with some sort of folding thing or just being easier to fit and remove. The top hob is difficult to clean crumbs and things off as the lip is raised at the front.

sarah, exeter , “mother of 3”

+ The hob buttons are located more to the top which means little fingers cant turn them on accidentially.
the hobs heat up very quickly and the oven distrubutes heat evenly and has a large capacity for the family roasts.
it would have been made easier if the buttons could be turned off either way as sometimes I forget it is not like my old cooker but i guess i will get used to that.
overall it is a great, good looking cooker ideal for medium / large family use and is easy to use

Great product.

Sue, Southport , “Born again Baker”

+ I like the simplicity of design and the fact that it is A rated for energy. The ovens heat up very quickly and cook well. Also the ceramic hob heats up very quickly and are very efficient. I am loving cooking again.

- I find that the grill pan is difficult to use with the detachable handle i.e. it is not easy to attach and detach during cooking when you need to slide the pan out for turning bacon or sausages.

- when you open the main oven door whilst cooking the heat goes straight into the top oven and condensates all the window ,leaving water marks running down the glass.
