    Only one Shelf. Gas burners in the base of the oven...burns food

    4/5
    So far a good cooker and the customer service from pacifica/electra is excellent. The gas burner is in the base of the oven and so there is a tendency for the bottom of your cake/pizza/dinner to burn before it's browned on top. I'm trying different methods of slowing the heat using baking trays. Also 2 shelves should be supplied as standard especially to accommodate the baking tray for burn shielding. The above is why I've only applied 4 stars.

    Useless oven

    1/5
    This cooker oven doesn't work properly, the temperature is far too high it burns everything at the bottom and doesn't cook the top of the food, even if you turn it down low. I can't even use this oven to bake my usual professional cakes as it's not good to use.

    Cheap, no frills cooker, which works well.

    5/5
    This cooker is amazingly cheap, and you do have to bear that in mind in your expectations. Realistically it just isn't going to be a plush or well equipped as a cooker costing over twice as much, but if you bear that in mind what you will get with this model is a pretty decent cooker. It does the job pretty well, has no major flaws that I can see, and as such its a bit of a genuine bargain! We had just moved in to a new house and we had budget for a new cooker when the old one failed. This cooker admirably comes to the rescue. It's A rated for energy usage. It has well chosen different burner sizes, so one can match the hob burner to pan size accurately. It has a rather basic mechanical timer - but it works. The oven cavity also doubles as a grill but to use the grill for an extended period (anything longer than four or five minutes) it is necessary to fit a heat shield to prevent the control knobs becomming excessively warm. That said if the only use you make is to, for example a couple of minutes finish an ommlette - you can probably get away without it. The oven itself only comes with one shelf, but it is a generous size and appears to cook fairly evenly. An extra shelf can be easily obtained for a few extra pounds, if you really need it. All in all I would say that if you need a basic cooker, either as an emergency stopgap, as we did, or maybe to put into a rental property or suchlike this does the job pretty darn well, and the best bit is it won't break the bank! It even comes with a three year warantee! It seems reasonably solid, and I suspect that if I take care of it, I will probably still be using it in five or ten years time. If you appreciate simplicity and dont want, or need all the bells and whistles this is highly recommended.

    Good for the price

    4/5
    Decent cooker for the price, however a couple of negatives.. There is only one shelf, two would have been better, even if the price was increased. Also wasted space at the bottom, fixed panel below the oven, would have been much better if this was a hinged panel to allow for storage of baking trays etc.
