As a man who doesn't cook but is an engineer... After ~2.75 years the top oven/grill door hinges needed replacing as the door wouldn't stay up and was drooping down ~20° when open. I took the door off and examined the hinges which in my opinion are badly engineered. It is easy to see why the door was hanging down as the full weight rests on a piece of folded steel ~1.2mm thick which just bends out over time with the weight of the door. Having tapped it back into alignment on both hinges I put a spot of weld each side to prevent it bending out again. Whilst doing this I noticed a lot of wear around the main pin that takes all the tension on the spring. I doubt if that will last much longer. Although we have a 5 years parts guarantee this doesn't apply unless the parts are fitted by their engineers so not really worth having for any competent person as call out charges are high. We purchased a Stoves in the hope that it would last longer than most others and they are supposedly UK made. However I suspect they are assembled in the UK and parts come from wherever. It appears the hinges are fairly universal to a number of other brands. Having fixed the hinges to stop the door drooping I used some 15mm diameter x 1mm neodymium magnets fixed at one side to the top of the cooker to keep the door closed which worked very well as it didn't shut securely, the springs in the hinges aren't adjustable. Also the Bluetooth is a waste of money, I doubt many people will use this feature as you need to see what's going on in the oven etc. However, it looks pretty which is why I'm sure it sells well and in spite of the hinges it cooks well according to the chef. Just hope it doesn't keep having silly avoidable faults through bad design.

I love this cooker. The bright red goes perfectly with the soft grey & black in my kitchen. It bakes & cooks evenly. Although it has Bluetooth it's not speaking to my phone at the moment. My fault, I'm sure!!

Absolutely prefect, looks great in my kitchen. Very happy with my purchase. ??

A beautiful cooker made from high quality materials. It heats up very quickly, cooks well and is easy to clean. The colour is exactly what the mostly white kitchen needed. Bluetooth connectivity an added bonus - it set the timer without even being asked. A great cooker!

After weeks of debate, we finally settled on our new cooker. Spent a little more than we wanted, but boy was it worth it. The new Stoves cooker looks great, and works like a dream, so simple to use even my husband can work it. Cleaning is easy too, just a wipe with hot soapy water and it's back to showroom condition. Thank you AO

Just moved into a house in Cheshire and needed to replace the cooker. Always used gas so takes some getting used to. Decided to buy a UK made, looks well made, can be difficult to see the numbers on the dials as the light in our house is poor!
