Good Smart Cooker that performs well but with a few niggles in use

"Overall I am pleased with a smart looking cooker which performs well but with a few quirks and niggles that prevents a 5 star rating.

Hobs

60cm width allows plenty of room on the hobs. The controls turn through high first then turn to low (simmer) which is strange at first. My previous cooker was more straight forward going to low first then through to high which is more natural. Manual ignition button. Controls not well graduated between high and low so easier to look at the flame rather than the setting. Hobs cook well and have the instant control over the heat delivered to your pans. 2 medium sized hobs at rear and 1 large and 1 small at front.

Second Oven/Grill

Large Grill and Grill pan which has a detachable handle which you will need to have somewhere to put between uses. Again best to observe the flame rather than the knob between low and high settings. There is a heat shield that clips to the rear of the shelf for when using as a second oven which apparently restricts the grilling area (perhaps 1 cm at rear or front of grill pan or both) but you can leave it fixed when grilling. The grill pan is large and I have not found a problem leaving it attached. Grill works well and cooks evenly.

Second oven works well with a windowed drop down door making it easy to use. Thicker sides on oven reduces usable shelf width to 40 cm, Max size baking tray 35cm x 30 cm (14" x 12").

Main Oven

Performs well and powerfully. It has a windowed door hinged on the left and an auto oven light when in use so you can see the cooking. There are 2 shelves and several shelf positions to choose from. Plenty of room inside but not as much as I first thought as the thicker (insulated) sides and detachable shelf supports leave only 40 cm width. Max baking tray size 35 x 32.5 cm (14" x 13"). The Oven being very nearly on the floor you need to either kneel or crouch on your haunches to use it!

Misc.

My cooker is in white which means you can see where it needs a wipe. This has been easy and the enamelled surfaces inside and out wipe easily .... so far! The shelves, shelf supports and hob fitments remove for cleaning.

Niggles in Use

The control knobs are chunky and a little awkward to use at first and they obscure the settings (marked on the cooker) so you need to bend down to see what setting they are on.

The Oven being very nearly on the floor you need to either kneel or crouch on your haunches to use it! Main Oven Door is a bit clunky to use - seems to be easing with use.

Plastic Feet seem to be a little flimsy ..... but we will see how they fare.

Slightly disappointing.

"A month after purchase, all seems good working. Although, a very small piece of enamel has chipped off surface. Slightly disappointing."

Disappointing...

"It's a very 'tin can' cheaply made & looking cooker unfortunately & it looks exactly that in the kitchen. It works OK but it's just a miserable thing. It's not even a true shade of white. "

Lovely gas cooker

"Absolutely brilliant. Everything works like a dream - the oven is wide & gets hot really quickly. The hob is perfect - easy to clean & burners light & adjust really easily.

The top oven, which I only use as a grill - cooks evenly & fast.

I love this cooker - so shiny & has a bonus clock/timer!"
