Baumatic BL 280 SS

Advantages: nice looking
Disadvantages: terrible quality - lousy customer service

...I bought a Baumatic BT3500SS Range Cooker, and despite very light use, the main heating element has burned out twice in two years. The cooker is now out of warranty and Baumatic want a £75 call-out charge to replace the part. Despite explaining to them that there is obviously a defect in the cooker and that it is not fit for purpose, Baumatic don't want to know. short sighted customer service from Baumatic - the product looks very solid but obviously the components are shoddy. Despite the part itself still being under warranty, Baumatic insist that they will only replace the part if replaced by their own "qualified" engineer - hence the &75 quid callout for a part not worth £20. I wouldn't buy Baumatic again!... Read review

The carbon pads do work well, but it takes a little longer to rid the kitchen of the smoke after I've been cooking, (this is where the air is kept in the kitchen but circulated through Carbon filters in the hood). Overall this seems to be like most baumatic appliances. It could be made out of thicker stainless, and have the edges a little tidier so-to-speak, but it is cheap. Considering... Read review
