Advantages: Cooks very well and evenly

Disadvantages: None really

Had this cooker in my previous house, and in all honesty found it to be a very good appliance, in particular considering this is made by a cheaper brand and therefore falls into the budget category.

The main fan oven was excellent. It heated up very quickly when preheating for cooking, and then when cooking it always kept the heat very even within the oven making cooking more delicate items such as cakes, much more reliable. It also had very little heat escape from the frong unlike some past models.

The top oven was also fairly reliable as an oven and seemed to provide even cooking temps, however the lack of fan did mean that cakes were not quite as nice! When used as a grill there was nothing about it we could fault - it got to heat very quickly and cooked evenly over at least 80% of the grill pan (some in the past ive had only served 60% well)

The ceramic hob does what you would expect of any ceramic hob - they heat up very quickly and this is very obvious when boiling water in a pan - there really isnt much more i can say about the hob - just remember to check if its hot before you put anything on it later after cooking - they keep some element of heat for quite a while!

Overall a nice appliance, just remember to keep it clean regularly - very hard to clean inside oven door if left too long!
