We have needed a new oven for about 5 years but last time we went shopping we came home with a 50" TV instead and watched cookery programmes. So we chose this one as we're used to a Gas Hob but with gas running out we wanted a responsive hob and my word it is fabulous! Easy to use hob, boils water in under a minute I kid u not! Ovens cook food beautifully & it's amazing how much you dont realise you've missed a grill until you have one that works! Yes as you've probably guessed we are middle-aged hence the excitement but honestly when you've been relying on a countertop halogen oven for meals an oven that heats up quickly and where you can cook a meal in one stage rather than 3 makes a difference I tell ya!
