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. ...
I bought this cooker when I moved 3 years ago. I wanted a double oven for those family sunday dinners, and a gas hob because I was fed up with my old electric hob taking ages to heat up.
I did a lot of research before choosing to buy a Stoves cooker, they seem to be one of the most reliable makes and good quality. It was an expensive buy but I thought it was worth it to get exactly what I wanted.
It is silver with smoked glass in the oven doors, the knobs are black and silver and it looks great.
This is a dual fuel cooker with electric ovens and gas hob, so you get the best of both worlds. The bottom oven is big enough for a 20lb turkey and is fan assisted. The top oven also contains the grill, and is not fan assisted.
The knobs are easy to turn and there is electronic ignition. The clock is easy to set and there is a timer ...

I love my Stoves cooker. It was the first purchase I made for my new home, and to be honest a little over my price range! But my other half talked me into it and ive never looked back. Good solid cooker with sturdy doors. Large glass pannels on the cooker, so you can see your dinner or baking is coming along nicely! Easy detachable components so you can get in and clean, because if your a messy cook like me you certainly need them! I would definately buy another stoves cooker and recommended them to friends and family. But by the looks of my stoves cooker ill have it for many many years to come. Its the best purchase ive made for our new home. ...
