Baumatic BR22.8

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

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: complete rubbish

...absolute rubbish, the coating on the buttons started coming off within weeks, just after the labour guarantee ran out the element went. Baumatic wanted £88 for the call out, free part. the part on its own was nearly £30 but i got a generic for £12. when i took the element out the earth had never been connected. very poor quality, rubbish service. designed to break so they charge extortionate amounts of money for their service package. RUBBISH< DONT BUY BAUMATIC unless you have money to burn and can affored a new oven every couple of years. I also have a baumatic gas hob, looks great but has very poor heat control. A company with products as poor as this shouldnt be allowed to sell them at all... Read review

Advantages: large hob for 4 pans or more, large fan oven, and small oven to spit roast chickent
Disadvantages: rattles a lot /vibration noise

...After struggling for 3 - 5 years with a standard built in double oven, we decided it was time for a change, there are 5 of us in our family and the old cooker just wasnt big enough, nor was the halogen hob. After looking at various models in electrical shops and on the web we had narrowed the choice down to 2, the Baumatic or Indesit, both models had 5 burners, but the baumatic had 2 seperate ovens, and this was the choice we made, both were duel fuel, gas hobs and electric ovens. Our only concern was whether we would use the middle burner, which is for using with a fish kettle, as this is long and narrow We opted for the Black model of the Baumatic, which we later found out to be an Italian Import - horay for us, all that stainless steel would have been a bind to clean, although this does have a stainless steel hob. We collected... Read review
