"I love that both ovens are fan ovens, often range cookers like this have one convection oven and one fan. Also the size of the third oven is a huge bonus - again often range cookers have a pointless storage drawer under a smaller oven in this space! Will come in very handy at Christmas! "

"we have been very pleased with our new Belling dual range cooker. It appears to be a step up in Quality from its previous model.
Every aspect seems to be more solid."
"We had a Belling Kensington 90cm dual fuel range cooker for 14 years and I loved it despite its quirks. It finally went wrong and we needed something that would fit into the slot. The Kensington was out of stock so we went for the same size Farmhouse, so I don't know if I would have been happier if we had managed to find the Kensington or whether Bellings in general have descended in quality. Worst of all is the knobs. I cannot read the knobs at all without first finding my glasses and even then I have to peer at them -- they are so shiny and the shine totally obscures the tiny black numbers. I miss the multi-function electric oven I used to have on the lower right, this one is a plain fan oven just like the one on the right. The grill only appears to want to grill anything at all if you winch it up really high, nothing seems to happen on the lower numbers. The Old Kensington's gas igniter button was in the middle near the clock, this one is right over on the left hand side which means you have to do a strange stretch to press the igniter while simultaneously reaching far right to keep the knobs for the right hand rings pressed in to release the gas. Honestly, were the design people having a laugh? They clearly didn't do much cooking. There are no little wheels at the back, so it looks as though it will be extremely difficult to pull this out to clean it (the old Kensington had wheels). I read reviews and kept my old grill handle, for some reason the one they supply now is just plain metal (saving money on not saving us from getting burnt hands). I also noted the fact that the left hand oven comes with only one shelf (the old Kensington had 2) and kept one of the old ones which fit perfectly. I really miss my old oven's stainless steel top too. This black enamel seems very drab. You can tell I'm disappointed and even half hoping that the cheap construction will mean it doesn't last long, but full marks to Belling for not changing the size of the ovens. Everything fits including the shelves and trays that came with the Kensington all those years ago. Also, we've did our first roast chicken in it last week and it was probably the nicest I've ever eaten. I might grow to love it."

"Very smart and efficient. Burners heat up pans far better than my old cooker."
