Great looking cooker and really easy to use

Advantages: slow cook feature, half grill option, stay clean liners and interior light in oven
Disadvantages: Grill can be a bit slow to warm up

The cremic top has four hobs and visual lights to indicate which hobs are in use and stay lit until the hobs are cool enough to touch. One hob has Solarglo Dual zone which allows it to be used as a full burner or just the inner burner for smaller pans. It has LED display, clock, electronic timer and slow cook feature. The grill has an option to use the full grill or half grill. This is also a conventional oven. The main oven is fan assisted, has ...

Hotpoint EW84

Advantages: easy to clean, having 2 ovens, and intelligent systems for certain types of cooking
Disadvantages: top oven takes longer to cook than anticipated

This was my first experience with an electric cooker and to be honest it took a little while to get used to it. The hob elements do take longer than expected to heat up but when they do, they work perfectly and the safety mechanism kicks in to prevent the glass from getting too hot when left on and not in use. It is also very easy to clean. Having 2 ovens is ideal, especially when cooking large quantities of food which need different temperatures. ...
...to cook - unsure if this is if the temperature control is not quite hot enough. I have only used the cake and meat 'intelligent options and found the temperatures to be spot on. The others I have not used and feel unlikely to do so, these are for poultry and fish. Over all it is a smart looking cooker, and after adjusting to electric after gas for many years It has proved to be very good value for money. I would recommend this product. ...

GW74, unreliable, breaks down after about 2 months

Advantages: easy to set up and use, clear step by step manual
Disadvantages: only lasts about 2 to 3 months before breaking down

...phoned the service engineers at hotpoint who did come out fairly quickly (within a week) who diagnosed the problem to be the solenoid, having repaired the solenoid he discovered the cooker was still not working so we managed to get a replacement cooker of the same model. After about 2 months the replacement was going through the same sequence of breakdown events, first the spark generator then the solenoid and now the elecronic switch attached to ...

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 ...
