I had a look at this cooker in the local electrical store after my built under oven decided to pack up during the cooking of a Fray Bentos. Don't say awww, I like them soggy. Come to think of it, they're still soggy after a full cooking.

Before I talk about the cooker, I'll talk about Stoves.

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 engineer a week later. When he took the lid out I noticed the glass had been set into the frame at an angle, he didn't and proceeded to install it. I waited for the penny to drop. It took a while but here it comes, "That looks a bit wonky doesn't it?". "Really?" I said, "What now?". He said It was ok as he can adjust the hinges. I let him go, he's the one with the degree in cookers. It turns out when studying for your degree in cooker repairs there is a practical module where you are taught, if all else fails, bend the hinges. I said to him that this was the bit where he stops and leaves my house after ordering another new lid, "And don't forget new hinges while you're at it".

Finally it was fixed, my cooker was up and running.

There is a fan behind the cooker that kicks in after a minute or two of the oven being switched on. This fan is not to assist in the cooking but there to keep the wires between the hob and the top oven cool. This fan continues for a few minutes after the oven is off. Performance form the oven is not as good as gas cookers I've had in the past. I feel there are a few cool spots and you have to keep opening the oven to move things around a bit to heat something more or stop something burning. If you make oven chips and leave them for the 25 min or so, you will go back to all the outer ones burned and the middle ones underdone. If you were cooking even chilled sausage rolls you would expect to put them in the oven under the chips when there's 10 min of chip cooking left. Wrong, put them in at the same time. The shelf underneath is very very slow and it can't get much circulation.

The hobs are one large, two medium and one small. The small one is only suitable for heating soup, frying a small item or keeping something warm. The others are ok for general cooking.

The cooker is standard depth and 60mm wide so make sure you measure your space. There are four agjustable and locking feet for uneven floors. Once you get the right height you can lock them with a nut. The doors are standard pull / push, no knobs or handles to twist. When the oven is on the outside glass gets a little hot near the top but not too hot where it will do any harm. An oven light is there to inspect your cooking but I find its hard to tell and find myself opening the oven to make sure.
