Advantages: Styling, Cost, Lovely Hob. Disadvantages: Fan oven a bit over enthusiastic.
...This is by no means a cheap cooker, but everything on it oozes quality. All the buttons and dials switch and turn positively, with no play in them at all. Visually the cooker looks stunning, with halogen hobs, and the usual array of sizes and half /full rings. The cooker has a top and a bottom oven. The top oven doubles as a grill, and both have the benefits of a backlight and fan operation. The Zanussi cooks quickly and evenly; in fact it is so efficient especially with the fan oven that you may need to take about 10% the cooking times. The purchase cost was £600 including a good deal on a 5-year warranty thrown in for free....

Advantages: Looks good Disadvantages: Very poor reliability and customer service
...I bought one of these ovens in May 2001. In the four and a half years that I've owned it, it has broken down seven times. The oven is broken now. If I were to have it repaired again it would bring the total spent on repairs to nearly £1000.

Their best offer was a discount on another of their appliances. It's a shame because the oven is actually very good when it works. Its features are excellent. Personally, I will steer well clear of Zanussi / Elecrolux products in future. I would advise others to do the same given the poor service on offer....

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... more
I ordered my new oven from Argos just a few months ago for the bargain price of £449.99. It is a White electric Zanussi-Electrolux ZKC5540W and it is sold as a double oven with a separate grill. This oven is also available in Silver and Stainless Steel more
