Advantages: Easy to operate; reasonable amount of space for dishes Disadvantages: You can probably find a better dishwasher in this price range - and now, I question its durability
.
The main concern is how clean it gets the dishes, and here I have issues. Its not as if its getting heavy daily use (mainly from just my husband and me, sometimes - and not many heavy pots and pans). In fairness, we are in a hard water area, I do rinse things before I put them in the dishwasher, and I have tried different types of dishwasher powder and various tablets (including Finish as recommended by the manufacturer), but this does not seem to affect the quality of the wash.
I am also finding it difficult to keep the interior of the door clean, especially by the seal, which is a bit troublesome.
On the plus side, it is very easy to operate, load and unload, and I am pathetically grateful just to have a dishwasher in the flat.

Advantages: Flexibility of flue lengths, design and build quality. Disadvantages: None
This is a good bit of kit, I was looking for a hood of curved glass design that had a short flue option, unless you live in London or a mansion with high ceilings you tend to have to cut these things to size, with the baumatic I could accommodate the minimum distance from hob to hood that you require. When the flue is not extended with the flue extension piece it achieves 540mm, this is a perfect height for my kitchen, and this way I didn't have to take the saw to it.
The hood looks stunning in brushed steel with the curved glass sparkling from the reflection of the two 20 Watt lights fitted below. The controls are electronic easy touch type that control the three fan speeds and the lights.
A vent kit was supplied to vent to atmosphere, I am running mine on recirc with the carbon filters fitted, it takes two filters (not ...
Advantages: Quiet efficiency Disadvantages: only one shelf plus grill pan supplied
As discussed in my previous review I bought this appliance from unbeatable.co.uk for £192.00.
It is a slot in, single oven in white measuring 60cms squuare and I have to admit I panicked when I first thought about fitting it, but I have to say it could not have been easier.
As it was a replacement oven I only had to remove the 4 screws from the old one and pull it out of the cabinet - it was connected to the electricity with just a normal 13 amp plug and I did wonder if this had been a bodge job (I find a lot of those in my house) but no - the fitting instructions for my BaumaticB180 stated:-
'the appliance should be wired into a 13A double pole switched fused spur outlet and placed in an easily accessed position adjacent to the appliance.'
Which amazingly enough was what I had on the old one!!!!
So - how easy can it be ...
