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 and broke off, and had to be replaced (at great expense) with a different door overcoming the design flaw.
Buy from a larger brand which will be able to provide parts and after-sales service. The oven looks great and works reasonably but I would NEVER buy Stoves again. ...
Advantages: two ovens and seperate grill, 6 rings Disadvantages: top is difficult to keep clean
I have my Elan Dualfuel range 3 months now and find it brilliant to cook with. I wanted a range that looked good and was usefull and the elan certainly delivers on both. The wok cradle is particulary usefull. The ovens are spacious and the smaller one has a roasting tray (which is detachable) which is attached to the door so no need to lift out heavy roasting tins to baste your meat. I do find cleaning the top around the rings a bit of a chore but it's worth it. The Elan is very straight forward to use. The pan drawer is useful for storing baking trays. There is a simpal to use timer and a child lock to stop the range working if young children turn the dials ...
this is a basic stove that uses a petrol pump system thast folds away easily. it is compact and durable. perfect for camping. the 2 burners makes it easier than a single burner stove.
Will change to standard review when i have the time. ...
