bluekarin Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I am looking at replacing my worn out cooker with a Stoves 600e, or if I am lucky in the Black Friday sales, the 600ei version. Does anyone have one of these, and if so, what do they think of it? I have read mostly good results, but as our last cooker is cheap Creda and was less than half the price of this one, I just want to be sure. The only reason I want to replace this one would be if I get my dream proper range cooker If you do have one, and don't think much of it, and have a different one you would recommend I'd love to hear of those too. Thank you -~-~-~-~- I am still on the lookout for a new free standing cooker. I have seen a Belling 90e which is beautiful, but there seem to be a lot of bad stuff on their FB with regards to their costumer service, so am a bit wary. Plus we don't really have the space for one, even if Currys have the most amazing deal on right now! *sobs* Soooo..... Looking at their 60e version which is also lovely, but I can't find a single review! I am guessing its an old model? Does anyone here have one? Or, does anyone have a cooker they'd recommend? As long as its electric with ceramic hob and freestanding, I am open to suggestions Thank you Edited April 3, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursula123 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi, We have our own kitchen business, so have just asked OH. Belling, Stoves and New World are all made in the same factory a bit like Neff, Bosch and Siemens. They all have three price points and are as follows New World - lower spec Belling - mid range Stoves - higher end OH has just suggested to look at AEG or Zanussi ( both made in same factory). Both good quality. I have just looked at the curry's deal for the Belling and it is a good price as we can not buy at trade for that price. Hope this helps.

Blackrocksrock Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I have had a Zanussi - double oven ceramic hob cooker for at least 10 years - its going well and only had to replace one ring and also an element in the oven - it must be 12 I think - its good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We have just replaced a Belling built in oven which we had with no issues for 15 years. It seemed well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Looking at getting one from John Lewis. Just need to wait for DS to get his friends and family discount card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 John Lewis are often cheaper than our trade suppliers so I end up ordering from them, delivery and customer service are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I bought a new built in oven from John Lewis, excellent customer service. Ordered it on a Monday evening and it was delivered the same week. The delivery chap even phoned 15 mins before he arrived to make sure we were poised for its arrival. We had a minor problem with the oven and they sent an engineer a couple of days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We've had our Belling for years. I think it's around 20 now! Only had one issue with one of the ovens and the guy that came to fix it said they don't make them like this any more because it's built like a tank (it's a range)! I guess with the wear and tear over the years it isn't quite up to the mark now and I have to adjust cooking temperatures and times - although for an old timer I hope it will last at least another year until we move. Next house we are looking into Rayburns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 A friend of mine has just bought a new belling range cooker and has had all sorts of trouble with one of the doors, it is warped and the engineer has been out quire a few times to try to sort it out. I think the door is being replaced this week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Sadly there is good and bad in all makes. We have a free standing belling which has been in our rental property for 12 years with no problems, one of the tenants a chef said it was one of the best ovens he had used. The oven I have at the moment is great but is a replacement as the first one had a fault - when you switched it on nothing happened and then when you turned it off, it got so hot you could not touch it. Funnily enough they exchanged it within a day maybe the thought of someone getting burnt or a fire made them act so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 So, we have a new cooker coming tomorrow. I have gone for a Belling FSE60MFi in stainless steel for the bargain price of £579 with free delivery, take away and recycle of old one and take away the packaging. Seems most people are happy with this one from their reviews, so I hope we will be too. Old one is now outside (after a bit of a scrub down. How does all that get down that tiny gap! Unless its just mine ) Delivery booked between 12-2pm and considering I only ordered it today, I think thats pretty good. We have bought it from Marks Electrical, and I can't find anything bad about them, so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
