Belling?

For the house we were going to get, we took a look into this. No need now as the new place we are getting has it all built in.

Worth checking the width, some makes/models only made a certain size, 50/55/60

Given the choice think a belling from John Lewis was about the best choice, not a cheapo crapo brand, not top notch either. Sure MotherT had one of these for years, solid machine

If they are good tenants make them feel special and give  'em the induction you tight old sod.

Oi, less of the old.

Induction start at £650 for a belling, and go up to 1k for an aeg in the free standing range. We don't have that sort of cash currently.





Neff Siemens don't make free standing btw. Only built in/under.

Now of that was a built in cooker with hob we'd be laughing.


Sadly its a built in oven

[chrisgixer]

Which reminds me, what's the difference between a double oven, and an oven and grill?

(Pink job see )

[Marks DTM Calib]

I have a an expensive Bosch and the oven is pants, wouldn't buy another.

Neff/Siemens? We have Siemens circlothrem. Built under, actually. Its the second one. The other (neff) was returned as it burned/over cooked the food at the back. Pizzas especially where not cooked evenly. I seem to remember you mentioned this before...?
The second one is better, (Siemens) but still very slightly has the same problem.

I seem to remember the tech changed the back plate/fan surround at one point. Not sure if it was worth perusing or not.

Yes, uneven cooking is the issue and this seems to be a common issue with them when I searched on line.

So Pizzas require turning a few times (unlike the Whirlpool it replaced which just worked) and cakes are just a nightmare.

When the kitchen is redone its being replaced....possibly by a Range cooker but I have not fully decided yet.

I would take a trip over to Reading Warehouses in Tadley. They normally have plenty in stock to poke and prod at.

My parents have just bought one now that the oil fired Aga is mothballed due to the price of oil. Can't remember what it is but my mum appears to have failed to destroy it in 6 months, so must be OK.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about this, get one quickly, cheaply and get it delivered and wired in for them. 

If you faff about for too long your tenants will think you don't care and might move out.  Which will cause you a bigger headache and cost a lot more money!

I'd avoid Beko like the plague.....  I've been happy over the years with Electrolux,  Hotpoint and Whirlpool,   our current double oven is a whirlpool ,   and it's jolly efficient,  apparently it's a bit different to the run of the mill fan ovens,    uses some sort of fast heating element, and more aggressive air movement,   it's bloody quick up to temperature, and does a nice even roast.....   


to be honest,  in the long run,  you might be better off putting a new piece of work surface and base unit in there,  and fitting a built under Oven and hob... 

(if you like em,  make it a double oven, singles are bloody useless...  )   thus ,  as and when one eventually fails,  you only have to replace that unit, not the whole sodding cooking facility....   


for the price of a bit of work top and a base unit,  i reckon it makes sense....

Fridges / freezers, most defiantly 

On the other hand, I've had a Beko oven and grill fitted in my house for the last 8 years without as much as a element go pop 
Swings and roundabouts as the saying goes

Thankyou, yes it needs to be 600 wide

600 seems to be the tipping point where price is concerned 

Just found >this< at £249.99 if that's any good.

Its something that Mrs TB and I have pondered, as her Creda 3 x halogen, 1 x ceramic double oven is older than the bloody dyson, but she cannot find anything she likes (must be leccy, and must have controllable hobs, and must not be built in), so on the rare occasions it goes pete tong, it gets repaired. The only major failure was the grill element (and over £100 for a new one ), but Willie Welder sorted that one out. Beyond that, its just bulbs and backlights.

I don't envy your task, Gixer, but at least you dont have to live with it

Probably the same on all fan ovens.....mine is an old Hotpoint that really needs replacing as one of the solid 'rings' doesnt work anymore.....but the oven always cooks faster nearer the door.....but because im use to it....i just turn the food round half way through the cooking.
