Zanussi ZKC5540 Width: 550mm Electric Cooker Reviews

+ Got an A Star Efficiency rating and is certainly that, the fan oven is extremely good, fast and efficient as are all the hob rings.

- The grill pan has a really poor grid, basically in one direction so bacon will only sit on it in one orientation (i.e the bars only go left to right and there's no coreesponding back/front ones to make a square mesh. It was really annoying to see Zannussi go penny pinching on this component. We bought this unit online sight unseen and had I had seen that in a showroom it may have jeopardised the purchase over something so trivial. Luckilly we kept our old grill pan and grid and we use that instead. We've lobbed the one that came with it. Other than that it's a fine machine, would have been 10/10 except for that stupid grid. Bad call Zanussi.

+ The design and layout of controls is good.Both ovens cook evenly

- requires warning light for the hob when finished cooking as it takes a while to cool down

+ self cleaning ovens

- the cooker knobs are in the wrong place. cooking spills etc attahced themselves to the knobs and it's difficult to keep clean. the measurements are not accurate. needs another shelf. cavity of the oven is not very big

- Could do with being slightly taller

+ Looks good. Top oven ideal for keeping food warm.

- Grill handle awkward to use, marks on hob from cooking sometimes difficult to remove.

+ Controls & display on the top, so no bending over to make heat settings. Both ovens rated "A".

- Black control knobs on black control panel making it hard to see heat settings. NO indicator light to tell if the hob is still hot.

+ Looks good, easy to use, good results.

- Grill pan handle very awkward to fix onto pan.

+ Its great, easy to use and its a lovely size inside, most of the cookers were large on the outside but very small on the inside, its also a very nice looking cooker, that must be true as all of my friends and relations seem to think it would look better in their kitchen, so yes excellent.

- There are a couple of things which could be improved, firstly the grill pan could have smaller slats, as when i placed some of my food on to be grilled it kept falling through which was quite infuriating, so i have put a mesh on top to ease the problem, and secondly the clock area could have been raised or flush and perhaps the buttons could also be flush with the panel rather than raised as well, its just awkward for cleaning, but as far as i'm aware so far its great.

+ Timer is easy to use

- Not easy to keep the ceramic top clean, but this may be a failing of all ceramic tops. The dials need some colour or a light to see what the temperature setting is.

+ Simple to use, good size second oven,The main Oven cooks very quickly I found that it was better to reduce oven settings by 20c less than asked for in receipes, light useful for checking on food and also for cleanining,handy that you can have the grill on quarter power. Pleasant to look at.

- Found hob too hot for simmering even on lowest setting. Grill difficult to clean as you cannot remove upper top and have to try and clean in between grill element. The main oven is very low down and I have to knee down to place thing in and out.
