Bit disappointed, purchased this cooker to replace a 22 year old Creda. There is no light to warn you that the hobs may still be hot after switching them off. The half/centre grill only grills things that you put right up to the edge of the cooker, so you have to use the full grill for just one item, not particularly economical and the full grill only has 2 temperature settings. The main fan oven cooks well, even when using 3 trays, however, when you open the door during cooking, the fan remains on, so it pushes all the heat into the room.

The ovens are fine but the hob is a devil to get clean. We’ve only had it a week and there are already marks on the hob that I can’t get off!! We’ve had belling cookers before and never had this problem, so I’m not sure what they’ve done to change things.

Looks nice Very slow compared to old one

Excellent. Solidly built unlike some other makes, quick to heat up. Only thing lacking is the hob hot warning light that was present on previous models.This cooker was bought to replace a year old appliance from a different manufacturer.

This is the second Belling Cooker purchased as we were happy with the first one which lasted over 15 years of family usage. It looks great in black/chrome and easy to clean especially with the highly polished fan oven finish. The knobs are easy to read. As there is no independent switch for the grill you need to turn the top oven knob completely around to the grill's three positions. The only criticism I have is that the previous cooker had moulded shelf runners into the sides of the grill and main oven which enabled the shelves to be moved smoothly. The new one has removable chrome shelf runners attached to the sides of the grill and main oven which makes changing around the shelves slightly jerky rather than a smooth slide especially when removing and inserting hot dishes.

Looks lovely, can't tell if its any good though as the electrician keeps letting me down and it's not wired in yet. No complaints as is. Will update if I can when it's wired in!

Externally good quality product, looks smart and unfussy. Only negatives are the numbers on the dials are not easy to see, especially under artificial light. Once the hob ring is turned off the red illumination goes off even though the hob is still hot which is a potential hazard, out old Belling (32 years old) had a warning light while it was cooling down. Otherwise the fan oven heats up quickly and quietly and the grill seems efficient.

Overall we are very pleased with the cooker. It was purchased to replace one that was 18 years old. As with most things these days the quality of the build is not quite what it was but is still good. The main niggle is that the markings on the knobs are very difficult to make out. The numbers do not stand out sufficiently against the bright chrome backgrounds.
