Full review

I wanted to reduce the rate I eat fast food, so I decided to buy this. As a young bachelor, I decided to make out time for my self and start up cooking at least once in a while. Since I got this, I normally cook at least three times in a week, which is not that bad. Zanussi is a product that deals mostly with house hold appliances and their product delights me so much. Since I started cooking, I think I have created some problem for my self by cooking every time that I cant not visit the fast food. Well I have to admit the fact that eating out side is not that a good habit because one day, I will be married and face that responsibility as a father and my kids and my wife will like me to portray that good example.

The hob is a stainless steel with 5 gas burner areas and it also has a particular good center burner that I normally use for cooking. The gas burner has nice looks with a beautiful dark brown colour, which is easy to maintain. Well I have to admit the fact that I don’t use often, but I bought this for a purpose and the main reason is for me to start up on some thing that I never got used to and that was cooking.

Starting with the key features, it has thermo flow that is a fan-oriented oven and this also provides heats so there are no spores in the oven. It also has an interior light, which is bright and serves as an indicator.

This is provided with a guidebook that tells on how to use, and I will like every user to see the instruction manual while using for good and lasting service.

The cooker comes with a grill pan with no roasting dish.

In the case of the door, it is bit heavy but one thing is this, it does not get hot even when the gas cooker is burning.

It has sufficient features that make it a very good and reliable one. I got this through recommendation by a friend and on the other hand in catalogues and sites. Zanussi is now a product that I am now developing likeness for because they are now powering more on household appliances they should keep it up.

I will not say that this is a regret because when I got it new, I started some how to put blames on my self on spending such an amount on gas cooker alone later realized that this is a must do thing.

Since I got this, I can now save some money from fast food joints and this really is helping me a lot and that is a very big advantage on my side. All I need now from the appliance is longevity . Since I live alone, I see it lasting long for me without any problem.

Its number of burners is 5 and I am comfortable with it because this will enable me to cook variety of foods at a time.

But it has a bit risk to It and I would have liked it the more if it had come with it, and that is the child safety lock. For those that have children at home, you are to monitor and keep out of reach of children for their safety.

These are the features but not all are mentioned here but if you want further features, you can buy and then look up to the instruction manual.

Repairs: so far, I have not gotten any repairs on it. It is very durable and lasts long. I hope that there will be no repairs for the next few months or years. I am now determined to spend more on household appliance.

Ease of use: very easy to use but initially when gotten new, you don’t have to expect it to be that easy to use but as time goes on, you get used to it. But the over all ratings, it is easy to use.

Users manual: very good and well directed for example, the instruction manual tells about the interior light on how it functions.

Special features: it really came with special features, which is the large oven and 5 burners.

Cleanliness: I ensure cleaning at least two times a week mostly Mondays and Saturdays. When I clean, I mostly use detergent powder to clean and this brings out the real shiny features of the gas burner.

Recommendation: I will recommend this to every house mostly families.

Price: quite costly and in my own case, I bought mine at the price of 536.09 at appliance world with free postage and packaging but all the same, still worth the price.

My thoughts.
This has served very well in my household and I handle with care too. The large oven has made bakeries easy for me because most of the time, I make bakeries with it. Very easy to use and to maintain as well.
