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

A good choice for all round performance

Advantages: Fast and even cooking
Disadvantages: grill pan not great

I've owned this oven for a couple of months now and I have to say its a joy to use. I opted for the stainless steel version which cost £549 but looked so much better than the white version. It easy to clean, fantastically quick at cooking anything and unlike my last fan assisted oven, very quiet. I only have one complaint about this product and that is the grill pan. On several occassions it has fell off the shelf at the back and the wire rack is ...
...easy to lose food off the rack into the pan, but generally I think its the best oven I've ever owned (as well as the most expensive), the inside light is really handy especially when it comes to cleaning inside the oven, and although its a double oven I've never had to use the top oven as the main one is pretty big, although christmas is coming so I wont rule it out. The rings heat up really quickly and cool down pretty quick too unlike those hot ...

Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZKC5540W

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 ...

Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZKC6040

Britannia Dynasty 110 range cooker. Smaller than it looks.

Advantages: Chef top, 6 further gas burners. Looks great. Multi-function oven.
Disadvantages: Very small interior to main oven, very difficult to clean hob and oven floor. Expensive.

...of the products in the Britannia cleaning kit (expensive) seems to actually bring cooking carbon off the chrome rings or the brass burners - best product I have found is Astonish. Also it is really difficult to simmer anything - even on the lowest setting, food burns in the pans, except perhaps the very small rings at the front - not helpful when you have more than two things on the go at once! The really worst thing is the tiny size of the main ...
...one. We are very, very disappointed - I always thought Britannia was a reputable manufacturer but I really feel that I have been cheated on this product - bought to increase available cooking space, only to find that it is actually much smaller than comparable products. A tardis in reverse. ...

Review of Britannia DYNASTY XG 110cm range cooker dual fuel

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 ...
