Creda Colonial 48189

I’m still using my ovens & grill

I do need to replace two nobs as they are worn down and one has broken

I also struggle with the oven bulbs but otherwise after all this time I’d give 100% for such a brilliant double oven/grill and it still looks good too and is still working

I acquired this oven as it was built into the kitchen of my house when I bought it eleven years ago. In those eleven years,I have never experienced any problems with it and it was used regularly. I'm sure how long the oven had been in the house before I bought it. I'm deducting one star only because one of the knobs broke and they are expensive to replace, also because the oven is about 10 degrees hotter than it should be (easily remedied). Overall this is an excellent oven.

I treid to make it but the top fell of and my stuffing burned almost burning down my apratment. The Place wened up in smpke and i didn't know what to do. Now everything smells like Yams and stuffing. burned bad.

We have one of these Creda Colonial Cookers which was installed as part of our new Home's Electrical Appliances back in December 2003. We have not experienced any problems so far (touch wood)!! Must be very lucky but will take note of other comments re expensive replacement parts. We have always had a German Made Cooker and most of our other Home Electrical Appliances are of course from the like of Miele, AEG with the exception of a Dyson Hoover. If you want quality then you have to pay the price for it. do not know the purchase price of these Creda Colonial Cookers. When we have to replace it; hopefully it will not be us as we are presently in the process of a self build property and this will definitely be fitted out with decent quality kitchen Appliances. Do some proper research on Appliances before you make a purchase and purchase what you really can afford but go for a decent cooker as this is really part of daily family life; and buying a "cheap" appliance is not long term cost effective.

This Creda Colonial 48189 has expensive knobs that are masterly designed to just about outlast the warranty and then break all at the same time and cost £15 each. Coincidence?

Purchased the Creda Colonial 48189 to replace my 20 year old Belling, after only 20 months the element on the Creda blew & had to be replaced at a cost of £65, the electrician said the lifespan for a cooker element is usually at least 15 years, so what happened to my under used oven?

Wrote to Creda, but they haven't even bothered to reply.
