Old, tried and tested

Advantages: Old styling which satisfies my dear mother
Disadvantages: Not many alternatives

Trying to find an older style cooker has been a little bit of a chore ..especially whilst touring the comet/ currys showrooms! My mum was after a new cooker and this was the only style she wanted...as it had a high level grill and thats what she was used to using ...so it had to be. The cooker is basic but does its thing and quite frankly satisfied an old dear in her quest to be Delia Smith II. It doesnt have a timer which can be frustrating and ...

Great cooker but one or two niggles

Advantages: Cooks well, energy efficient, looks good
Disadvantages: I don't like the hotplate control switches

...had this electric cooker, a Creda C366E, for about a year now and over all I am delighted with it in that it serves its main purpose excellently - it cooks food extremely well. However there are a few niggling things with it. We bought it from ETS which is the south west's largest independent retailer and it was a very good price. I can't remember exactly but it was over £100 cheaper than in Comet. This was because ETS also sell appliances which ...
...to find what the problem was with this cooker and the only thing we could find was a bit of a scratch on the side but as it is a free standing slide in type of cooker you cannot see this when it is in place. I'm please I have taken the time to write this review as I've learned a few things about it I didn't realise! Firstly, when I looked up the instructions I see it is made by Hotpoint. I wouldn't have bought it if I had realised as I swore I would ...

Cooking with gas! (OK, it's really electric!)

Advantages: Straightforward to use.
Disadvantages: could do with a splash guard over the controls

We bought this cooker three years ago from Currys. Doing a quick search on Kelkoo brings it up in the price range £355- £405 at the moment. When we moved we had to leave our old cooker behind - well it was built in! I chose this one because I wanted and electric cooker with a) a double oven b) a ceramic hob. This model has both. Ours is black in colour, although the white version seems to be quite popular at the moment. Black, of course, doesn't ...
...600mm D X 600mm W. THE HOB The ceramic hob has four halogen rings, one of which is a dual circuit ring i.e. you can have just a small section in the middle heating up, or the whole ring. The heating area becomes red when the ring is switched on. The controls for the rings have settings 1 - 6, with six being the highest for fast cooking and one being the lowest, just to keep things simmering. After several minutes with the control set at 6, the ...

"Cooking with Gas" is best, when it works!

Advantages: Gas only cooking with two ovens if you prefer gas cooking.
Disadvantages: No back up if gas component fails, as in a split double Electric Gas ovens.

Creda 230GW We have purchased two Creda "gas" double ovens over the past six years, the most recent just less than twelve months ago. Our experience with the first Creda gas double oven purchased was excellent, with no problems with regard to cooking and grilling. However, towards the end of the five years, my wife who is an experienced cook and has made many wedding cakes to a professional standard, complained that she was not getting a total ...
...can be ordered via a Creda spares company, this I did and fitted the new door handles without to much problem. Then however, a major problem occurred. The adhesive (special adhesive -heat resistant) holding part of the main oven door hinge, detached itself from the glass front panel. This adhesive is not available to purchase via Creda parts. So, as advised by the Creda Marketing Manager (I managed to speak to him on the phone) advised I call out ...

Stoves - NEVER AGAIN

Advantages: when it works, it works well
Disadvantages: but when something goes wrong it is a nightmare

The glass of our Stoves oven was inadvertently cracked by a plumber during a routine gas inspection in October and we had to order a new outer door for the oven. We did this mid OCTOBER and the current delivery estimate is not until mid DECEMBER - that is we are without an oven for at least 2 months and quite possibly without one for Christmas. It is also the second time we have had to replace the door - the first one was too heavy for the hinges ...
