Stoves 61GDO

Review of Stoves 61GDO

I am very disappointed with this cooker. When I had to replace my Cannon, which I loved, because it was so old that I couldn't get spare parts (and it was costing me £100 a time to get a mechanic) I chose this model because it looked more solid than the corresponding Cannon - especially the cover, and the numbers on the knobs seemed easier to read.

...4. The top oven burns. I used to bake bread in the top oven of the previous STOVES model, but it is not possible on this one. 5. Difficult to know when the top oven has lit. If the bottom oven can have automatic ignition, why not the top one? ...
