"The oven is a good buy and has performed well so far. This replaced a similar range cooker that the surround and splash back had been fitted for. The measurements shown on this products details indicate it was capable of the same height using adjustable feet, but we were told by the installer that this would cause it to be unstable and the legs would snap! Having to make alterations now to the space it occupies."

"Highly recommended cooker, I've had it almost a week so I can't give long term opinions on the appliance. However I absolutely love this thing, it is the best cooker I have had the pleasure to use for my entire adult life. It performs just like an old cooker that I remember from my childhood and since then everything has been mediocre in comparison.
As for its cooking ability I can't grumble at all, the dedicated grill actually works in the sense that it cooks quickly and through. I say this because many other modern cookers seem to have very weak grills that take ages to cook in my experience.
The ovens are not to be sneered at either, they heat up very quickly and cook food evenly regardless of position on the shelves.
Lastly the gas burners are very good, they burn nicely and the safety feature that cuts off the gas should the flame go out is quite welcome and I imagine this would be a massive benefit if you have curious kids. Again using quality pots and pans makes it a pleasure to cook on.
One word of caution, I would leave this cooker switched on at the wall either at all times or leave it switched on for at least an hour after use. The reason for this is that it has a cooling fan/s that kick in to cool it down. Therefore if you switch it off straight after use the fan will obviously not kick in and I assume this could potentially cause damage to the appliance.
The cooker has an A energy efficiency and it doesn't seem to use a whole lot of energy which is good especially in our current energy climate. If you leave it switched on at the wall all the time it uses little to no energy at all.
I will grant you that the cooker is expensive and could be seen as a negative but after using this for just under a week I can see why they cost so much. Aside from its cooking performance its very well put together and the finish is flawless. I feel like it will last a long time and I can only hope I get 20 years out of it but time will tell.
To close I also like the fact that Belling is a British brand and the cooker at at least put together in Britain. I'm assuming some parts will come from abroad in fact the gas burner rings appear to be made in Italy.
The only real negative that I can give (but won't penalise stars for) is the fact that the warranty is only a year. For something that cost this much and is of this quality I think it would have been nice to see a 5 to 10 year warranty."
"Looks fabulous, and functions fabulous also. Had this delivered to fit in with my new kitchen, and already had lots of compliments on it. The 2 ovens are amazing, work much better than my
Old is fan assisted oven, and the gas hob is really easy to control Top marks "

"Such a nice over. On top of looking good, it works really well. Oven pre-heat in a instant and cook well. All gas hobs are outstanding.
Great quality. easy to clean as well"
"Good price offered compared to other items of a similar nature.
Ovens are a little smaller than my other ovens, but great to have 2 options plus separate grill.
The box on the back covering the electrics was in the wrong place for my gas pipe (which then had to be moved by my gas guy). All in place now and happy with the item."
