Baumatic CAN 52.1 ME

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: smart clean looking , easy to clean , cooks food quicker
Disadvantages: Had it for 6 months can't find any

...I have recently purchased one of these to replace my old hob it's fantastic still cant get used to how quick it warms up i can now have a dinner party and prepare the food in half the time can highly recommend , also at the same time i got the oven for it as well both came with easy installation instructions it only took me thirty minutes to remove my old cooker and hob and fifteen minutes to install the new one that is how idiot proof the instructions are . The back left hob is a quick cook hob and can boil a saucepan of water in under three minutes to clean it i can recommend Astonish ceramic hob cleaner you don't get any white powder residue after it has dried...

...and would not work at all! Which was a bit of a let down! I telephoned Baumatic immediately and an engineer came two days after which I thought was very good. He seemed genuinely surprised that it had broken down as they are extremely reliable. The fault turned out to be a faulty switch inside which coincidently was the same probelm he had with his last customer so he put it down to a faulty batch of switches. He ordered a new part and told me he would come back when I had received it. Unfortunately he ordered the wrong part, so that delayed the repair for about a week. I did feel that the Helpdesk weren't that helpful when I tried to tell them that the part was wrong! Anyway my hood is working perfectly now, It has three speeds, I do tend to use the highest setting, but that could just be me being overzealous! Apparently the extraction rate... Read review
