Cookers & Ovens

British made and great as well !!

Advantages: British made, good quality well made, good value for money ( from the right supplier )
Disadvantages: No self clean oven liners or flame failure device on grill.

...an odd point. The only downsize is the new range of Stoves do not have stay clean liners in the oven, which our old model did. Might need more cleaning but worth it to get the Stove cooker. Overall an excellent cooker for a sub £400 unit. ...

Review of Stoves 600SIDLM

Well worth the money

Advantages: Looks, quality, excellent to cook with
Disadvantages: For me none

I bought this cooker after having to have a another branded cooker uplifted. I have to say looking around you can buy a cooker at a fraction of the price but decided initially to spend around £600 so as to get something of reasonable quality. Unfortunately this was not how it ended with the first cooker being of dreadful build quality and not great to cook with. I had seen this before but ruled it out because it was a little more than I wanted to ...
...it to the one I had to have sent back I was sold and without even discussing it with the wife I just ordered it. When I showed her the picture she was not convinced, that was until it was delivered! Totally and utterly thrilled with it did not think about the cost at all as the quality totally out weighs it. They say you get what you pay for and this is a good example of this. I can't comment on other top branded makes but this compared to the ...

Review of Smeg SUK62MFX5

Zanussi Cooker: ZKC6020W

Advantages: Easy to use, wipe clean front
Disadvantages: Inherrent fault with fuses, hob isn't very easy to clean

I've had this almost a year now, decided to buy it as it was cheap and I needed something quickly at the time. The machine in itself is a very good machine, it's easy to use, and has a handy timer function on it which is quite auditable even from the other side of the house. The surroundings of the machine and insides are generally easy to clean, but I have found that I had to purchase special ceramic hob cleaner for the top as nothing else would ...
...good for all surfaces especially appliances, and found that it wiped the text right off of one of my control knobs which I wasn't very happy about. I had to get a repair done on this after about 6months of having it as one of the fuses behind the far right control knob had blown and kept tripping my electrics everytime I used that ring. The engineer said that it's quite a common fault on these Zanussi Cookers, and an easy fix, but I was still a ...

Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZKC 6020W

so far, so good

Advantages: great design, good look, cooks extremely well
Disadvantages: timer

...decided to opt for the cannon c50 and purchased it a couple of weeks ago and so far, we cannot fault it. We were restricted with the size of the oven as it had to fit into our current units but it actually looks no smaller than a normal oven and the style and design is very stylish. To be honest, we weren't sure about buying a sole gas appliance and were looking to buy a dual fuel option but we are so pleased we went with this as the gas oven cooks ...

Review of Cannon C 50

noisy hotpoint cooker?

Advantages: Good hobs/grill, easy to clean, reliable
Disadvantages: the noise of the fan oven

Noisy Hotpoint? The hotpoint ew74 cooker, a brilliant all rounder in my opinion. the model i purchased 2 years back is the electric fan version with ceramic hobs. Every peice of hardware on the cooker is designed for easy use and maintenance, having a ceramic lining in both fan oven and grill/oven sections for reduced cleaning effort. the ceramic hobs themselves even have a two-way variable heat setting designed to make it easier for the user ...
...sing the praises of this cooker all day there is however ONE main drawback.....the noise, the noise of the fan oven when in 'full swing' can be loud at times and is a constant source of annoyance, espescially when cooking food for prolonged periods of time, that also being said, once your food is cooked it is cooked to perfection mainly due to the fact that it is a fan oven, with improved heat distribution. If anyone was thinking about buying a new ...
