New Cooker

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I need to buy a new cooker because one of our number sneezed whilst reversing his wheelchair and totally mullered the door. It was time anyway.

Any recommendations or warnings of not to go near.

I already won't look at Beko,having had the door fall off a new one,before we had the wheelchair.

It must be all electric and I would like ceramic hob and two ovens withat least one being a fan oven.

I bet you love your Rangemaster.

Now let's be sensible. A cooker I can afford.

I have looked at them and probably would get myself into trouble to buy one but fortunately it is too wide.

Well if times are hard you could use the same as the British Army

If it's good enough for the lads in the field it should do the job :-D

I don't need to be told about websites ,It was the personal experiences that people have had that I am interested in.

No website would have told me the door would come off a new Beko.

We've got a Neff fan (circotherm) oven, and been very happy with it for the past 7 years, if it packed up tomorrow we'd buy another one, hope this helps.

Sharron Report 15 Nov 2012 20:28

It looks like Neff are all built in but thank you for that.

Try a Desert Cooker but mind you don,t singe your Eyebrows. :-D

What the hell is a desert cooker?

Sharron, I too can recommend Creda cookers - have used no other brand in past 30 odd years

Sharron

Sharron Report 15 Nov 2012 22:26

Thanks Chris.

This one is a Tricity Brndix which I think may be a Creda. I can't fault it's performance but it is green (that dates it) and the doors are glass. The glass always has a smear and the knobs always have a bit of unspeakable stuff stuck around them which is hard to move. There are all sorts of little places where muck gets in and doesn't want to come out easily.

I want one that is better designed than that.

The freestanding Credas were brilliant for cleaning - the builtin I find not so good - at least when I was responsible for cleaning it!

Is there a show room near where you could see one?

Sharron

Sharron Report 15 Nov 2012 23:43

Yes , but I saw this one before I bought it.

I don't think I do observant!
