Free standing cooker
Anyone have a newish free standing cooker?My beloved AEG is almost 20 years old and now 3 of the 4 ceramic hob thermostats have gone
I have been managed with two for ages.I could get them repaired but it will cost a lot and if I do some other part will probably go.
I have been looking at new cookers and read all the reviews but none really appeal. The AEGs are all touch screen, no knobs and look too complicated for my rapidly diminishing brain power . Thy are also very expensive.
The best of a bad lot seems to be the Zanussi ZCV663MWC.
I do a lot of baking including bread so it is important I get a good cooker.

Re: Free standing cooker
I've got a Rangemaster ceramic hob cooker - a tad expensive, but absolutely fantastic.I use the 'multi function' oven for cooking main meals and Dianne uses the second oven for baking. The 5 rings are not the quickest to heat up but maintain the temperature very accurately.

Thanks George
is that a big one . I only have room for a 60m and no gas here.I have already ordered a Zanussi from John Lewis and it arrives on Monday
it has quite a good review on Which and is the best of a bad lot. As I said I really wanted the AEG but it is touch panel, no knobs and I don't think I could cope with that.

it is not the exact one on Which but the next one up the 663 which has catalytic linings in both ovens.The build quality is poor compared to my old cooker
it is plastic and tinny but I have no choice because some of the parts for my old cooker are no longer obtainable. I expect I will get used to it in time.

Re: Free standing cooker
There is no quality in any kitchen appliance now Meg, they are not made to last.I've just had to buy another coffee pot, the last one was 10 months old, the one before (we think) was over 10 years old.
I struggled with my new washing machine .. it's very nice, integral, but it has programmes I'll never use.
