"This evaluation is in no way a criticism of AO.
We had to replace our previous Stoves gas oven as it had gone wrong and was irreparable.
You would think the specification of this more modern oven would have improved (or at least remained the same); but alas no.
There is no longer the ability to:
1. Programme - so no longer can we go out for the day and set the oven to start at a preset time
2. Change between temperature scales - this oven only uses the gas-mark system - most recipes use centigrade
3. Know when it has reached the desired temperature - normally a light would flash, or similar and then stop when the oven was hot enough.
Also, it comes with a largish grill pan but a tiny grill.
Of course we knew some of this before purchase but there is zero competition for inbuilt double gas ovens.
My advice to potential purchasers is to ‘go electric’ if you can. Stoves and their sister company (Belling) do not deserve your custom.
We couldn’t change to electric as there is an inadequate power supply to the oven location, so it would have cost well over £1,000 to install"

"Nice product, easy to use. It will hopefully last another 21 years like its predecessor."
"I have had the oven for only one week and I am extremely happy with it so far. It is easy to operate and look good in my kitchen. It seems to cook a lot quicker than my previous cooker. I am very pleased with my purchase"

"I thought I wouldn't like the electric grill but I'm quite surprised by it. The downside is the grill pan and lack of handle. The pan does not slide easily and have reverted to the old grill pan as I kept hold of it. The clock is way too bright. No problems with the ovens, they do exactly what they should."
