"Easy to use hob and plenty of space in the ovens for the whole family. We'll look forward to having people over to really put it through the motions. Arrived incredibly well packaged too which I was pleased by"

"A long overdue purchase to replace a 20+ year-old dual fuel range cooker. I decided to go for an induction hob rather than another gas one, and am really pleased I did - it's really easy to use and to keep clean. (It needs specialist hob cleaner to give the best finish.) The 4 hobs are responsive and the 'power boost' function heats up really quickly. I haven't used the warming plate (situated to the right of the hobs) yet but it will be really handy when cooking larger family meals. Having two ovens is great too - I've baked bread which has come out really well. The clock and timer is really easy to use as well. The cooker looks really smart, seems well-made and is great value. Control knobs on the fascia seem robust and easy to use with clear markings.
It's fair to say that this range doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some more expensive brands - the oven functions are limited and the third cooking compartment is a grill only, rather than an oven/grill. If these matter to you then you'll need to spend another few hundred pounds for them. But in my book, simple is beautiful, and there's less to go wrong!
One thing that would be really helpful when buying online would be a 'bird's eye' image or diagram of the cooker hob itself. AO's website is mostly very good but the photos of each cooker don't include this, which I think is something it's helpful to know before purchasing, to check the layout of the hobs are what you want.

"This stylish cooker looks very smart in my kitchen. It heats quickly and is very good quality. Cleaning the hob is a joy after my old gas range. I would definitely recommend. "

"We finally upgraded from our ancient 1980’s Belling Classic cooker to the Belling Cookcentre 90Ei with induction hob and it has been excellent! The induction hob heats up incredibly fast, boiling saucepans of water in no time with the power boost function. The fan ovens heat up quickly and have plenty of space for multiple dishes, all clearly visible through the large glass fronted doors. Cleaning up afterwards is very easy as the hob can be wiped down without any removal of burners like with gas hobs. For a family of three we have found this to be a perfect cooker, and made in Britain too which we liked."

"Excellent product. Simple controls, clean design; the ovens are really effective and the induction hob is really responsive and so easy to clean. Best cooker I’ve ever owned and ao service has been first class from start to finish."

"We used to have a gas range and the hob took a lot of work to keep clean and looking pretty, but this induction hob is not only energy efficient but cleaning efficient too!
Oven works well too, heats up quickly and cooks evenly.
It looks lovely, works well and we are very happy! "
