Advantages: Looks nice in the shop Disadvantages: Wears quicjkly, cheap plastic parts, poor customer service
Avoid all Stoves models, particularly their "range" style double ovens. I purchased the very similar 1000GDLSVS , 8 burner double oven model. Looked good in the shop, however the control knobs turned out to be made of cheap plastic covered in plastic silver/foil. The silver has peeled on every control knob in sharp shards revealing awful looking yellow plastic. The oven doors are difficult to close without slamming them and the grill and ovens are very difficult to light. The fan in the grill often blows the grill out - very annoying!
Their customer service is terrible as they only advise that they'll sell spare controls via their website - but presumably the same cheap quality! Classic example of "rip off" - a brand name to avoid. ...
This was the worst product we have ever had. The dimplex stoves cooker was extremely bad in every repescts. It looked great in the shop, suited the kitchen design but what a mess. It was a poor cooker as the temperature of the ovens did not work properly. This is why one has temp. controls so that baking and cooking can be easily done without fuss or concern. However engineer could not fix it and after 6-7 call outs the company said it was not a manufacturing problem but something else. They never replaced it, did not answer calls and waited till the guarantee ran out and then said they could fix it in ireland for very high prices. Every aspect of the after service was appauling. they could not get an expert to answer why there was poor quality in all aspects. I brought another engineer in to see what the problems were and he said that ...
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 ...
