Belling Cookcentre 60E Electric Cooker - Stainless Steel

Disappointing on a huge scale

"Three years after buying it and l like it less every day. It's actually started breaking down now, the oven isn't working but it's out of guarantee.

Even before this, it has so many annoying things about it - l've had several Bellings over the years but I wouldn't buy another now. It feels cheap and tinny, there's not even a hob-hot light so it's quite dangerous, the knobs get knocked on really easily when cleaning so I'm constantly checking it's not on. It has to be pulled away from the wall to be able to open the door so there's a gap at the back. The oven doesn't cook evenly or consistently. The feet have to be raised up to make it level but then theres a huge exposed gap underneath. The hob isn't terribly responsive but stays hot for ages afterwards (beware it just looks black and remember, there's no hob hot light to warn you it's really hot still- unbelievable this simple safety feature is missing in such an expensive cooker.)

It doesn't even have the Belling logo on the front so I do wonder sometimes if I have some sort of 'second'! The only good point is the grill, that works really well and for that I give it it's one star.

Does the job

"Great product and robust, easy to use. not the cheapest but well worth it. Quick heat up times as well. Controls easy to use. If wanted to change something I would have both ovens have a light. Easy to keep clean as well. Fits nicely in my kitchen.

Great service from AO as well"

Downsized from 900mm to 600mm Belling cooker

"I have downsized from a 900mm cooker to a 600mm keeping with Belling, great cooker although I feel it’s a bit clunky opening and shutting the main oven door. I have only used a couple of times but everything working as it should. The clock light is red whereas on my other cooker was blue which I preferred but great cooker"

A Wizard

"I have always cooked with gas, not any more.This cooker is a marvel, you have complete control of the heat. Your pan handles don't get hot like they do with gas, i don't know why i left it so long to switch to electric, it's a breeze. I would definately recommend this cooker to everyone. Well worth the money."

"Excellent cooker easy to use and well made "

Lovely modern, efficient electric cooker

"Great looking electric cooker that offers everything we wanted by way of modern styling. Size as stated & with the overhang at the rear takes into consideration the existing low gas pipe on our wall, so fits to the back wall perfectly. A far simpler, basic timer than we've had before which is better & the rear hob rings are further forward meaning less splashing down the back wall. Really happy with the oven cooking so far - temperature is as the recipe states, though food does tends to cook better at the front so need to make sure we turn food round for even cooking. All-in-all a great cooker - very relieved! "
