Baumatic BTM 25.2 M

Advantages: Reasonobly price, Lots of programs, auto timer, cool door
Disadvantages: Thermostat over-reads a bit, noise on fan setting, no selfclean

...I bought the Baumatic for the new kitchen, as I'd previously had one of there range cookers in a previous home, and that one seemed to be reliable, and was about half the price of a very similar looking Smeg model. This one also seemed to offer a much greater range of cooking options for the price, I did miss the 'self cleaning' option of my other cooker though. The Automatic programmer is easy to use, and it has a minute minder. The build quality is O.K. but probably not up to the likes of Bosch, Neff etc. The door is fan cooled so there's always a bit of a hum when cooking, but at least it doesn't get too hot to touch. There's no acessories to speak of, just the usual 2 wire shelves and a grill pan. The manual is fairly comprehensive, and the recipes in the 'cooking with Baumaitic' recipe book look great, but I haven't tried... Read review

...The world of cooker hoods can be a confusing and frustrating place to be. The choice is endless and the price you can pay is verging on the ridiculous. So what type of hood and how much to pay to complete my purchase of kitchen appliances? The brief from Mrs Scenic was a chimney hood. I did try to steer her toward the flat rear vented type, but she was having none of it. Now with chimney hoods you can pay anything up to £300 and on for the more expensive makes. Luckily I was in charge of the budget and anything over £150 was out of the running, so I was very pleased to see this Baumatic in the Homebase catalogue for £99.99. After playing around with kitchen unit combinations for about 2 hours I just tacked this hood onto the list and thought "job done". Hindsight is a wonderful thing, if I had checked the spec's of the hoods I... Read review
