Good looking but overall average
3/5
It looks very attractive, especially when the lights are on and the fan oven works really well. I’m disappointed with the oven shelves however, they’re a bit flimsy compared with the sturdy ones in my old cooker. Also it took exactly half an hour for the cooling fan to switch itself off, after having used the oven for only 10 minutes on medium heat. The grill is very hot, even on a “2” (the lower) setting. The hob warms up surprisingly quickly, and is actually better than it had been described on the “which” website, but after only a handful of uses it has water marks on the cooking rings which I was only able to clean off successfully by using considerate elbow grease (I used vinegar in the end and was scrubbing for ages). I decided to take out an additional insurance with Zanussi because I started to doubt whether the basic warranty would be enough.
I also purchased an extra kitchen timer clock (with a magnet) because it annoyed me that I couldn’t set a timer on the cooker.
In my opinion it is over-priced by about £200 (I bought it for £539 from ao).
