Advantages: None.

Disadvantages: Very poor quality finish, Awful door hinge design, cheap materials

I have had this cooker for 18months from new and had various problems. The main, and very annoying problem is with the main oven door. The hinge design is overcomplicated and I have had constant problems with it.

The door falls off, or does not close properly etc.. I can see what the design tries to achive in the fact that the oven door can be removed for cleaning but using such cheap materials and a bad design has created many problems. I could be wrong however and my cooker is a bad apple but somehow I don't think so.

During the first year guarantee the door was (sort of) repaired. It didn't suprise me to find out that an entire new door had to be fitted has the door side hinge was integral. It was OK for a few months but the problem has now started again. Now I'm told that the parts are hard to get!!

Overall the cooker looks nice - but that's about it. The materials are cheap and the fit is poor. I would steer clear and spend your hard earned elsewhere.
