Advantages: Good styling, full of features Disadvantages: Poor grill pan handle design, top enamel finish; Glass top cleaning fussy
If you want a 500mm (50cm) gas cooker, with good style, features and price there are few to choose from. The Oakley fitted all our criteria and duly arrived crated from Canon. Everything looked good, until we lifted the glass lid. A minor defect - one plastic button was smashed and the lid was not quite closing straight.
Went ahead with installation, screwed on the grill pan handle and ordered a spare button. Everything else worked ... ...powered ignitor. Luxury to have auto-firing cooker as soon as you turn the dial and an interior light to watch your roast browning.
An efficient Canon engineer fitted new glass a few weeks later. Our only other comments to him: amount of condensation pooling under the oven door - this is 'typical' ; poor low grill setting - 'cannot adjust,' we are told.

If you want a 500mm (50cm) gas cooker, with good style, features and price there are few to choose from. The Oakley fitted all our criteria and duly arrived crated from Canon. Everything looked good, until we lifted the glass lid. A minor defect - one plastic button was smashed and the lid was not quite closing straight.
Went ahead with installation, screwed on the grill pan handle and ordered a spare button. Everything else worked well - hob and grill light quickly from the mains powered ignitor. Luxury to have auto-firing cooker as soon as you turn the dial and an interior light to watch your roast browning.
An efficient Canon engineer fitted new glass a few weeks later. Our only other comments to him: amount of condensation pooling under the oven door - this is 'typical' ; poor low grill setting - 'cannot adjust,' we are told.
4 months of normal use and we notice a couple of problems: 1) the grill compartment is losing enamel where we store the pan and 2) the paint finish is wearing on the top face. Called Canon (Indesit) and they are not very helpful, blaming us for the problems! Call the engineer and he agrees its design fault. Write the dealer (John Lewis) and they agree to replace the cooker.
Moral - check the grill pan handle design if you want to put the pan away in its compartment. This is one of the few models with this unfortunate flaw. Change the handle and the problem will go away.
Final note: If you want a very low variable grill setting this may not be easy with several models, today, including this one. Worth checking.
