"Bought this cooker in June 2021 to replace a Stoves one we had for 21years. The cooker itself looks great and is very efficient until the top oven door began to fall open with any slight touch. We didn’t buy an extended guarantee or Care plan due to our trust in the Stoves quality. Unfortunately we now have to pay out for what we deem as a manufacturing fault. Disappointed and annoyed that whilst paying a premium for quality, it’s no guarantee you will get it. "

"Definitely happy with the quality of this product. The shelf and the grill pan on the top oven are bit hard to manoeuvre. But this is just a minor issue. Overall, I am impressed."
"Beautiful cooker, happy with it. But one of the burners doesn't work. Still waiting for an engineer to contact me. Its been over a week since eventually getting through on the phone to stoves helpline. Supposed to hear within 48 hours. Very expensive cooker, so disappointing. "
"I try, when practical, to buy locally made components. This cooker is not bad by any means, but it certainly never exceeds modest expectations.
Having two oven cavities is excellent. Both having windows wiuld have been nice, but little matter.
The shelves/drawers are fiddly and don't work particularly smoothly. I imagine this will not improve over time. The ovens heat quickly, although the temperature gauge is very approximate, according to my oven thermometer. Fortunately I don't do too much baking, so precision isn't crucial for me.
The hob is fine--the cast iron pot stands have little rubber feet to prevent scratching the hob surface, but these have all fallen off in the first fortnight. Again not crucial, but disappointing that they skimped on adhesive, which is fairly low-cost.
The "wok burner" is only a wok burner if you are the kind of person who thinks a le creuset "wok" is actually a wok. Which is to say, someone who knows nothing about woks or cooking with them. It's shy at least 3KW of being close to a wok burner. But it's fine as "the big burner".
The manual is a complete joke: possibly the worst I've ever seen (and I've seen some shockers). Fortunately it's a cooker, so fairly self-explanatory.
In summary, better than it could have been, but not as good as I might have hoped."

"I have bought Stoves cookers each time I needed to replace a cooker. My last cooker was stoves and lasted me well over 10 years. This new cooker is stylish and works well. My only fault with the cooker is that one side of the lid is not flat on the cooker otherwise I have only had the cooker a week and all seems fine."
