"Unfortunately when the cooker arrived the oven door was faulty. A bit disappointing after looking forward to it so much. Was offered a replacement straight away or a repair. Just waiting for it to be repaired."
"Beautiful cooker. Great build quality. The square oven has a smooth tray mechanism, as does the grill. The hobs are really heavy duty. The chrome style handles really show finger prints and dust, but otherwise, it's spot on. "
"Pros:
Good range of burners
Quick oven heating
2 fan assisted ovens
Easy cleaning
Cons:
Value
Grill too small
Some finishes aren't to the standard expected
Gimmicky attachments
We bought this oven to replace an electric hob and separate oven and grill. First off, the gas hob is excellent althought the layout could be better. There are five burners, one small, two medium, one large and a wok burner. A useful variety and suits all of my cooking needs although the layout could be better with a medium burner at the front instead of both mediums being at the back. The burner covers are good quality and fit nicely without wobbling or much movement.
The grill space is very small fitting 8 slices of bacon, our previous grill fitted 12 which was good for our family. The slide out grill is handy but certainly not a deal breaker, personally I feel that the slide out grill is a poor compromise for space. There are also some hotter spots under the grill but that may fade over time.
The ovens heat very quickly so no hanging about for the preheating. I haven't had this long enough to see how well the linings work but others have reviewed them. The main oven has an attachment on the door with a tray on the top so whatever you're cooking swings out when the door opens. The tray has to be significantly smaller so the door can open meaning you can't fit a bigger joint in. There are two height settings that the contraption can be set to, neither is useful. On the lower setting there is not much space underneath to fit another tray. On the higher setting there is space to put a tray underneath but when the door opens you can't get into the tray underneath as it is covered by the tray on the door.
The right hand oven is useful but the space is awkward, it will fit a square tray but I can't find any square trays.
A very minor point but something I wouldn't have expected on something at this cost is the clock wobbles in its housing which makes me wonder about other potential issues that haven't shown up yet but could be lurking and will surface over time. The front plate also doesn't fit on with the front feet at the lowest setting.
Overall this is a top of the range price tag on an oven that feels that it doesn't quite justify it. It would have helped if we could have seen and touched the product before we bought it but sadly this wasn't possible. I'd like to be able to compare this to the ranges from different brands that are about half the price to see if the drop in price shows reflects a true difference in the quality. "

"Stove is well built. All parts feel substantial and well made. Fan ovens heat up fast and cook evenly. Safety gas cut out on the stove is good. Very pleased with quality."
