Terrible product, terrible service

"By far the worst oven I've ever owned.

Even with the fan on, the heat isn't distributed around the oven evenly; anything near the bottom gets cremated while food at the top just gets a gentle warming. Anything I cooked took at least 30 minutes more than the recommended cooking time for it. It takes 15 - 20 seconds of holding the button to get the ignition to light the gas. The bottom tray rattles unless it's in a very specific position. The timer knob is cheap and inaccurate; it can be anything from 2 minutes over to 40 seconds early.

My oven developed a fault a few weeks after purchase. Mechanical failures and issues happen with all products, that's fair enough. Unfortunately, the Candy warranty service is as terrible as the oven. After over a week they sent a non-gas certified engineer to fix a gas oven. He couldn't do anything so a waste of an appointment. After more calls to their service department I was eventually referred to a 3rd party repair company that could handle gas appliances. They tried and were unable to fix the problem so had to order replacement parts from Candy. After 2 weeks of waiting, neither Candy or the repair service could give a rough date or ETA on the replacement parts. I was just left in limbo with a broken oven for almost 2 months.

Don't buy this or any other Candy gas appliance."

Gas Oven required quickly

"As always AO came up trumps. I needed and LPG oven in a hurry and they had exactly what I needed at a good price and could deliver the same week.

The item arrived on time and as described."

Gas oven-built in

"Seems fine looks good but fitter remarked that the electric cable supplied was very short.

Like the idea it is self cleaning!

Don't know where to store the plate which keeps oven door open when grilling!"
