Amazing quality and performance from this Belling Range
5/5
Our old Delonghi range had never been very satisfactory. When it broke down for the third time this year we decided to replace it. After much research we settled in the Belling Sandringham.
We love the fact that both oven doors are hinged at the sides giving easy access, so you don't have to bend awkwardly over a door that hinges at the bottom (as was the case on our Delonghi).
The Belling Sandringham has massively exceeded our expectations. So many of these ranges only allow you to limit the duration of an already running oven and have no delayed start function. The Sandringham's main oven however is fully programmable. A feature that is very welcome. The secondary oven is massive and is nearly the same capacity as the only cavity in the now defunct Delonghi. However both of the Sandringham's ovens preheat to temperature in less than 3 minutes which is fantastic compared to our Delonghi which took nearly quarter of an hour! Both of the Sandringham's ovens are fan ovens (no pointless additional elements that never get used anyway). The traditional electric grill is contained in its own compartment, meaning that you can run two ovens and grill at the same time. Very useful for dinner parties.
The gas hob features five rings, the centre being designed for very large pans or a wok. All of the rings give superb control and feature a flame out safety feature that cuts the gas supply in the event that the flame is blown out.
The only negative so far as we are concerned is that the secondary oven can not be programmed, but that is a very minor issue given that the main oven can be.
This range cooker is a great asset to our household and we can highly recommended it.
