AO delivered the cooker very efficiently as usual, I installed the cooker and this evening we decided to cook steak, the very first use the grille element fell down onto the steaks, burning black lines into them. Once cooled down I looked to see how it should have been attached and found 2 prongs which should be resting on a ledge. The cooker had not been assembled correctly by belling, and they deserve a big black mark. I am sure the element has been bent as it fell and now have to decide if I return the thing to AO - very disappointed.

Not as good as our original Belling - Format 635 - which inspired us to stay with Belling. Hotplates are not as efficient and grill pan is not user friendly (single handle would be better). Control knobs seem to slowly slide off under spring pressure. Otherwise it seems to be well built an from the efficiency figures is well insulated.

Great cooker, but still I can’t give it full stars. My reasoning it’s that the steel shell of it ,it’s to thin to my liking. It’s easy to be damaged.

Very cute en efficient The jalapeño red is spectacular.

Heavy duty and really efficient cooker Oven is strong and quick to reach the temperature

Love the cooker, agree with all the previous rave reviews. My only problem is with Belling not ao.com As a first time electric oven buyer, was all gas for many decades, I was completely unaware of the necessity to ‘burn off’ the oven, and how ghastly the ‘toxic’ smell is, nor how long you have to do it. Absolutely nothing about it in the user manual. Thank goodness for Google! Would have been 5* otherwise.

It is a nice cooker, but a bit disappointed it has no light to tell you hob is hot, which for the money I would have thought they would have this.b

I had a fully electronic cooker last time so it's taking a while adjusting to having dials again but it's a good cooker. The grill and oven feel quite wide which is a good thing and I've got the hang of the timer. Just a shame it doesn't have one on the top oven too but it's not something you need often. Ann's the colour looks fab, it really brightens the kitchen!
