Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: cant use during a power cut

I have had my cooker for over a year now and as of yet i have had know problems with it. I have found it very easy to use and the instruction manual easy to understand. It has a 24 hour clock and timer on it that cuts out the oven when timer has come to the end. It has a grill that can also be used as a top oven so you can cook that full sunday roast without worrying. the cooker operates a self clean system that cuts out the use of oven cleaner ...

Advantages: Very cheap.
Disadvantages: Basic functionality.

I work in the rail industry and we had one of these cookers bought for us as part of a signal box refurbishment.Previously we had one of the old two ring Baby Belling cookers and this cookers falls into that style of cooker. Essentially this is one of the cheapest electric cookers on the market and its features should be judged on that basis.In such basic terms it does what it says on the tin. The full solid rings vary in their sizes so that you ...
...cooker we use works by a full 30amp supply to the mains and consequently all rings can be on at once. The oven is of a decent size as long as you down want to batch bake or cook for many people.The oven also doubles up as a a basic grill which distributes the heat a little unevenly.I use it for grilling bacon and sausages and find that around the edges of the grill heat doesn't reach.Although for re-heating pre-made meals the oven works fine. The ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to clean and looks modern
Disadvantages: Not good for backing trays to fit

This cooker has good features to it. It comes with a clock and also a timer which counts backwards in front of your very eyes and at the end of its time it bleeps continuously for about 1 minute. This can also be deactivated by pressing the "+" button. The foue burners on top of the cooker are easily removed and cleaned and seem to wipe the spills off with hardly any use for cleaning detergents. It also has a lid that look smart when put down for ...
...stop anyone touching it after the burners have been in use. The grill which doubles up as a second oven is a handy option for when you have many people roundd for dinner or if everyone eats differnt things to keep different food smells away from each other. As a grill the only problem is that it only has a high setting and this can cause problems in cooking things too quickly. As for the bottom oven, this cleans well and cooks evenly but roasting ...

Advantages: Does the job - mostly
Disadvantages: The hob quietly gets hotter than the centre of the Sun without warning

I never thought I’d ever write a review about a cooker. I couldn’t find a review about this one before I bought it though and if I had I might have bought a different one. This cooker is pretty cheap, the main reason I bought it. All I wanted was a simple electric cooker with a grill separate to the oven. I really enjoy cooking and would like a Rangemaster or similar one day but as I didn’t have the space or cash decided to go with a simple inexpensive ...
...noticed about the cooker when it turned up was how ugly the hob was. I bought the thing online and didn’t notice the rings in the picture. The hob consists of four grey/black circles that stick out the top. These don’t change colour when they get hot so I have to double check every time I finish cooking to make sure they’re turned off. So far I’ve only had one accident - I left a plate on a ring that I didn’t realise was on and it exploded like a ... Read review

Advantages: compact and easy to clean
Disadvantages: grill a bit slow to heat up

Bought this cooker about 6 months ago and I am very pleased with it so far. It has a ceramic hob which heats up very quickly and is so easy to keep clean. The hob also has lights on the top of the cooker to say which ring is on and the light stays on, after turning the ring off, until the surface has cooled down. I found this very helpful as I have a habit of putting things on the top the cooker and have melted several plastic bowls previously. The ...
...cooking large meals. The oven has a glass door so you can look at cooking progress without opening the door and the interior glass is removable for easy cleaning. There is also a light in the oven. I do find the grill a little slow to heat up and there is only one level for grilling but it has a good safety feature - It turns off automatically if you shut the door without turning it off. I like the white version as it looks clean, but I believe it ... Read review
