Rossi, London

Score 9.0/10

+ Nice, elegant, compact design - I love it.
Functions very well in all aspects for the moment ( a month after we bought it and used it ).
I find it very suitable for small kitchens where there isn't plenty of space.

- Having in mind that we have been using our new Zanussi ZKC5030W1 cooker for about a month only, we haven't experienced any major problems.
There are still some of the cooker's functions which we haven't tried like using the oven together with the electronic timer set on, for example, or using the main oven to bake two dishes on different levels at the same time. The only thing which I personaly don't like is that every time I use the main oven there are water drops on the insite oven's walls and door / I presume this may be the case with other ovens as well :-( / : when I open the oven's door during baking something (creme caramel, for example) the water drops are coming down the insite door's glass to the kitchen's floor so I bought a small tray which I leave just in front the cooker when I use the main oven. Thus , when I open the oven door while using it, the water form the oven door drops in the tray, not on the floor.
Appart of this annoing thing, I can't complain for now. P.S. There are some small marks (not a major problem for now) left on the hobs ceramic top after I use it and although I try to clean it, they can't desapear.

Score 1.0/10

+ Generally easy to use - hob is good

- The grill is hopeless - keeps switching off as soon as it heats up. Takes 40 minutes to grill sausages that should take 10 - 12 minutes to cook. Wouldn't recommend this cooker to anyone.

+ the cooking time is definatley reduced by the bottom fan oven. the grill pan is twice as big as my previous cooker, and i like the fact that i can close the top door while i am grilling, which means it cooks quicker!

+ Love the fact its a A rating for the top oven. Easy to use, quick to temperature. Overall, really happy with my purchase.

- I don't leave the electric turned on all the time, so everytime I use the cooker, I have to remember to press two buttons within a couple of seconds or I can't get the main oven to work. Suppose I'll just have to get used to it.

+ Attractive looking cooker, easy to use controls, like the way the temperature is controlled on the hob.

- Shelves don't go far enough back to get most from space in the ovens, not as wide inside as last 50cm oven- needed to buy new baking trays, etc!!!

- Cooker was advised as having self cleaning catalic liners, was very surprised to find that when it arrived it did not have the self cleaning liners. Having the self cleaning liners is one of the reasons I purchased this model.

+ I purchased this product for my parents who are now in their 70;s. They are both pleased with the compact size, energy efficiency and sleek looks. The double oven is great along with a grill which has four settings instead of all the grill coming on full to which you may only want to use half the grill.

- No issues - very pleased and best value for money on the current market for the brand

+ Small width to fit in my small kitchen- however a groove on the lower side ( unaccounted for by the measurements) meant that the cooker didnt actually fit and I have had to resize kitchen bench ( badly)

- Groove on side of cooker adding to width.
Overhang on back of cooker- takes up space
Buttons on timer and programmer dont work
Easily stained on ceramic hob by water- cant remove water marks
Has to be kept switched on permenantly due to electronic clock

+ For an electric cooker, it heats up quicker than any other that I have used. The oven dries out any fat from the cooking too so it's crispy and fresh instead of being too moist.

- Would be nice to be able to switch the light off in the oven instead of being on constantly when the oven it being used.

+ Ceramic hob heats up very quickly, as well as main oven. Smooth hob surface easy to clean.

- Hob marks very quicky, also grill in top oven takes some time to heat up even on top setting but still does a good job. Another minor point is that the cooker is a bit too narrow for my liking, so you have to be careful and measure it before buying baking trays etc. to make sure they fit.

- Oven a bit noisy. The grill doesn't stay on a continuous heat setting. The grill and oven shelves have small legs that stick out and so reduce area slightly which can be awkward for placing trays inside.

+ A stylish design and it has everything you need - all in a 50cm cooker! The main oven is excellent. I have made many cakes that have risen beautifully. The ceramic hob is great and easy to control.

- The top oven is smaller than I expected and I found I could not get a small roast chicken inside it. The top oven is only suitable for pasta and small ready meals.
