"The cooker looks good and cooks well. So far, it has been easy to clean and the size of the ovens are excellent. The hobs are quick to heat and I Iike that one of them has the function of being a big or small ring if you turn off the outer part of it. The control knobs are easy to use but unfortunately there is a pointless and very annoying metal bar across the front of the cooker which only serves to block your view of the control knobs and clock/timer. (I'll come back to the timer). This bar means you are constantly bending down to see how long is left or what setting the dials are on. It is in EXACTLY the wrong place. Honestly, had I noticed it in the pictures, I would have chosen differently.
The grill/top oven works well and has a function that the grill will only work with the door open but when it is shut then it works as an oven. I do have an issue with the handle used to pick up the grill. Apart from it being a big clunky thing, it never feels that secure. It hooks onto the lip of the grill and is supposed to go underneath the tray but invariably you hook the shelf with it and it also makes it impossible to pick up or put down onto a flat surface. The top oven door also does not sit flat when it's open so that everything slides into the hinge. Not a fan of that poor design.
The bottom oven has two shelves and a deep tray with a grill for fish or things that need to drain I presume. There is a feature for this tray to sit on runners which can easily slide it in and out which helps you to get things out but If I'm honest I kind of both love and hate this feature as it makes me feel like I should use it which means I now feel like I should have that tray constantly in the middle of the oven splitting it up and making it difficult to see the bottom shelf of the oven. A minor problem which is probably just mine and as it cooks very evenly due to the fan despite the tray being in place. I have overcome it by putting one of the shelves in its place and the tray at the bottom to catch any bits.
The timer is another issue for me in that for some reason the oven won't work unless you set the clock or at least press the buttons to do something with it. this is inititally very confusing until you know about it. It has a feature to turn the oven on and off automatically when the correct time is set which could be useful to someone but that's not how I cook and I'm afraid that my timings tend to be a bit more "flexible", again, my issue but it's there. The timer is a problem though as the 'clock' displays constantly and you have to press a button in order to falsh up what's on the 'timer'. For a cooker timer, it's complicated, put that with having to bend down to see below the bar and it's a problem.
Despite all that, it has a good solid build quality, looks good and it cooks well which is of course what you need.

"The Leisure Gourmet GRB6CVK was our choice to complete the new kitchen that we are currently installing.
The combination of conventional and fan ovens, was high on our list of requirements, and this model delivers exactly that.
The black variant was also a particular choice to fit in with the look of the new kitchen.
this cooker is quick, efficient and easy to use, and so far has exceeded our expectations.
Very happy with it"

"Excellent product at best available price. This is our second cooker of this make and model, they are very good with multiple shelves in the main fan oven.
Delivery and recycling of the old cooker and new packaging was also excellent."
