"This Zanussi cooker is extremely easy to use, and is QUICK in heating things up on the hotplates. If cooking something slightly smaller the top oven is excellent, and you also get the flexibility if having to cook things at different temperatures"

"Really pleased with the cooker. Heats up real quick. Recommended to have a brief look at the manual to make the most out of it. Then very easy to use. Convenient to have actual knobs as opposed to touch buttons. Looks good. And already noticing how less energy it uses compared to our previous ceramic hob. The whole family likes it :)"

"Hi I have only had this cooker a week.
I must say that it is great ?? very fast to heat up, not had induction hob before I must say “wow wish I had one of these years ago” reading the instructions- it sounded difficult to use- but in practice it is really easy.
Oh and don’t forget that only certain pans can be used on your induction hob - newer pans will say on the bottom- suitable for induction hobs- if they don’t they might not work- your hob will not heat up!
So take this into consideration that you might have to purchase all new pans.
The oven is fast and cooks evenly.
Don’t like the noisy fan at the end of cooking, you turn the oven off and it continues with the fan.
I purchased this zanussi cooker as I had read other reviews about it which were pretty good.
Strange no handle for the grill tray?
But I knew this from reading the reviews and kept my handle from my old cooker and made it fit.
A lot of the new cookers vent the hot steam out of the back, wetting all the wall behind the cooker - some that bad cause damage!
The vents on this Zanussi cooker are on the top of the hob at the back,so it doesn’t run down the wall.
It does steam and may need to get an extraction hood or open the window.
I also think that the control knob’s sitting on the top of the hob are perfect for me- as I have a galley kitchen long and thin- so was always knocking the control knob’s on my old cooker as they were on the front - wasting electricity- my bum/ hip would catch them turning them on.
So having the control knob’s sitting higher makes sense and there easier to see.
So overall I am extremely happy and the electricity I will save, will pay for this cooker! Win win ??

"The cooker looks good! It’s modern and sits well in our fitted kitchen. It is so easy to use. The induction hob is straightforward to use and has a handy lock and timer option. It’s great for safety and the peace of mind. Really pleased with the oven size, the ovens are huge! It has a top and a main oven ,they both have different cooking options and they come with instructions and helpful guides in the manual. Please with this purchase."

"Got this based on Zanussi's reputation. Will be nice to change from gas to induction."
"A good, affordable option that does the job without much fuss… but still with a little fuss! A few points: on the initial run (the advised run at top temperature for an hour), the internal bulb went off and appeared to have broken… but then came back to life after the oven cooled down a little. We don’t yet know if this is a recurring problem. Also, the oven beeps periodically after it has finished (Google suggests this is intentional to remind you to take food out). We were initially disconcerted by the steam coming out the vents on top, as I’ve never had a previous oven so this; again this turns out to be intentional. So a few design features that have made us a little uneasy in the early days of getting used to it! We would also have liked a mode where you could push the buttons in when not in use, but had to go with this as a cheaper option. But it otherwise does what is meant to very well. "
