"I did quiet a bit of research before deciding to buy this model. I wanted a 100cm range that was dual fuel, preferably with 2 ovens.
I liked this model because
- It looks good
- Has 5 good sized burners as the one we had before had 8 that were to closely spaced for large pans
- Cheaper as no multi-function oven. I have had one before and never used anything but fan setting.
Cooker was delivered by two man team which is good as box weighed over 130KG! Woudln't fit through kitchen door in the box but after I took the door off the hinges it just slid through.
Unpacking was quiet straightforward but be aware that you will need to have oven fitted to mains electric and gas by qualified tradesmen.
Once all connected I and my wife were very impressed by the cooker. Controls are easy to use and it is clear which knob is for which hob and oven. The ovens heat up really quickly and so far seem to cook evenly and at the set temperature.
It really does just do the job. Has some well thought out features such as the door mounted roasting tray and the fact that the racks raise up when you pull hem out so no danger of trays slipping off.
Some negatives - at this price I would have liked metal controls, although the plastic ones are of good quality. Also if the display could have shown the oven temperature as the markings on the controls are quite small, so you do need to take care when setting a non-marked temperate such as 200C. Also stainless steel does show fingerprints very easily but it does look great when clean!"
