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!...

...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...

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 Baumatic B180 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 - slot...
