Stoves 61EDO Stainless Steel

If I had to buy a cooker again I would not buy a Stoves. Despite having seen rave reviews I was less than impressed with this model. The hob is not easy to clean despite using the correct cleaner. I cannot restore it back to showroom condition - I still have odd looking marks on the hob. The fan unit is temperamental - more often than not it sounds like a sick jet engine and before you ask - yes, the cooker is absolutely level. The controls are good and stylish except for the oven - it is not easy to accurately determine the oven temperature without having to bend way over or kneel down to see what the temperature roughly is - no use if you are in to baking! My oven tends to burn cakes around the edges despite the claims of a fan oven baking evenly. On the plus side it does look good compared to others on the market. I am rather disappointed and can assure you this is an accurate and truthful account of this cooker.

I am over the moon with my Stoves 61EDO stainless steel cooker! It is fantastic to look at. It is well made, and the doors open and shut easily. The glass in the doors slides out so they are easy to clean. The controls are easy to use, and the instruction manual is clear and concise. There is a defrost and cooling function on the main oven. There is a programmable red LCD display. The functions include timer, semi-automatic (switches itself off) and fully-automatic (switches itself on and off). I looked at lots of other cookers and this one represented best value for money. I liked the Smeg ones, but I wasn't prepared to pay three times the price for basically the same cooker!!

Highly recommended!!
