Advantages: Two ovens, different sized rings.

Disadvantages: errr...No child locks? Otherwise none.

This is a review on a gas cooker, this should be a challenge. I acquired this cooker from my "Outlaws" second hand, and it has proved to be a little Jewel.

The 600 SIDODLa free standing, Gas, double oven and grille, with automatic programmer. It is made to suit natural gas, as well as LPG. (With a conversion kit of course). There is an LED for the timer, also displaying the current time.

It comes with a small, but practical operators manual. An ordinary sized cooker, but of course there are two ovens, the top one is also the grille, and the bottom one is the main oven. You can of course use them both together if you require. Both ovens have two lights in them, and the doors are glass. The main oven has a fan.

Pro's:- A 600 mm cooker, with two ovens, also featuring an electronic timer, so you can set it to turn on while you are at work, or even in bed.
Built in Britain.
Glass panels in the doors, which can be removed for cleaning.
Cooling fan.
Different sized burners.
Adjustable shelf positions.
Oven lights.
Gas shut of when closing lid (Although mine does not work).
All four feet are easy to adjust.
Has a glass lid, easy to keep clean.

Con's:-
Requires electrical connection. (For the igniter).
Oven handles are ideal place to dry a tea towel (Not a good idea)
Boring white only. (Apparently these were available in black too).
Basic one year guarantee.

I like this cooker, everything seems easy to use, the two ovens are a good idea, and save fuel. The looks of the cooker is very stylish.
This particular model, is no longer being made, so I can not give current prices, however, the ones they do make seem pretty identical to me.
