Time will tell, but so far its OK
3/5
Bought to replace a "Cannon by Hotpoint" dual fuel which had not given good service in its 10 year life. Went for this new model as it offered stainless steel again plus cast iron pan grid. The description "Silver" is misleading , thankfully it turned out to be s. steel . AO undersells this item as the description on the website makes it sound, oven wise ,based on just two fan ovens. Actually has a lot more to offer than that. Looks very boxy in shape compared to my old cooker and appears to be less substantial in build. Main oven door hinges look very flimsy and a better grill pan on slides would be an improvement. Too many rather thin shelves that would have suited my needs better if they were just a little bit further apart. Hob is fine and I find
the large burner much more useful than my last "wok only" burner. Cast iron pan support is in two halves and is OK for most sizes of pan. Top oven fan setting is good and saves over using the main oven ( which lead to several breakdowns in my old Cooker). Still smells a bit new but I'm sure that will go soon. Oh yes, not keen on the timer , very basic.
Reasonably pleased with my purchase so far, it is in daily use by two OAPs, making full use of its good range of facilities. However, reliability is the key .We will see?
