what a looker!

Advantages: sturdy and easy to use
Disadvantages: wish i'd bought the one with the gas grill

i love this cooker - i had a smaller budget and i got it from empire direct a good £100 cheaper than most places. this model ( i think i can see from the picture ) has the cast iron bits on the top which make the hob feel really strong and sturdy and look far less flimsy than the model down the timer is really easy to use the cooker i use almost daily -making bread, cakes and stews - the temperature seems right - no disasters as yet! the electric ...
...i just like gas grills and i wish now i had spent more and got that one. stainless steel - well a bit finger printy - but the hob keeps looking good if you just wipe it daily... the storage drawer underneath is really handy for the tins the wok burner is really fierce but you can get it really low after its heated up a bit. ...

An absolute lifesaver in the kitchen and very simple.

Advantages: Very good value for money.
Disadvantages: The knobs are a bit fiddly to keep looking clean.

Myself an dmy partner bought this cooker from currys for a very reasonable £500 6 weeks ago. I was very rusty on my cooking and baking but so far I have managed some very good cooking from doing quick meals to experimental stir frys, casseroles to baking, and all to very good results. I feel it is easy to use, very efficient, great value for money and a dream to clean and keep clean! It looks stylish and has a lot of space as it is a double oven ...

Zanussi ZBF560X

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Smokey, bad quality.

We had this oven fitted in our kitchen when we moved into it 7 months ago, it was brand new when we started renting the flat, and since then we've had a few problems with it. For starters, after just a couple of months, the timer buttoms on the front fell out, and although they're easy to fit back in, its not a good sign! As well as this, the door on the front dropped by about an inch on one side, which means when it cooks the smoke can escape through ...
...don't think this is something which is good!!! It gets very very smokey despite been correctly cleaned every week, which i think is a problem with the fan. One good thing, is that when we approached Zanussi about the problems they were happy to come out very quickly to service the oven, but to be fair it shouldnt have the problems in the first place! The oven is very easy to use, the timer is a simple and efficent system of just pressing a simple ...

Great Product.... and British !

Advantages: Great product
Disadvantages: none

...Excellent value. I've had a Prochef for 2 years now and have zero complaints.. "niente"... In the past we have purchased Whirpool, Neff, Smeg etc.. products and have never been able to afford the Miele / bespoke / top end standard of product, but truly believe the bespoke feel of the Prochef product is excellent value, and demonstrates a very well engineered product, that is BRITISH made. Well done to Prochef and the team. And thankyou for your honest ...
...a joint of beef, or baking of bread, cakes etc... I feel that when sticking to a recipe, the Prochef product delivers the performance required. No need to pre-heat, and the space within the oven is bigger than some of my friends range style cookers!! Regards JM ...

Cause you're hot then you're cold.

Advantages: It looks good.
Disadvantages: Colds spots in ovens. Customer service is rubbish. Engineers like their belt buckles.

...it returned but I called Stoves to give them a chance to fix it. They arranged an engineer to come out but the new lid would be sent separately. The engineer came before the lid! He told me to call back when the lid arrived. A couple of days later the lid arrived with the engineeer a couple of days after that. He opened the box and the lid was smashed so he got on the phone to order another. After another wait I found myself with another lid and ...
...to leave and I called Stoves again. They actually apologised and asked me if the scratch was noticeable enough to see it. "Err, yes, I saw it, that's why I'm calling, would I be calling if I didn't see it?". They arranged another lid and I asked them to arrange an engineer without a belt buckle. Finally it was fixed, my cooker was up and running. Now the cooker itself. I purchased the silver one with chrome handles and a black hob. Its supposed ...
