Oven advice?

[Zirax]

I'm after a new oven for my house and I don't really have a clue. I currently have a Beko electric oven which isn't fan assisted and is generally crap.

Now I'm after a gas hob and oven, ideally a floor standing unit which has the hob built in. Price wise as cheap as possible as it will be there for a couple of years at most until the kitchen is done Reason I'm asking for help is, are there dodgy makes in cookers? I won't buy Beko again as I know they are crap...... should I be looking for something in particular?

This is the duel fuel of what I have.

It is actually what I first ordered but because of electrical stuff they couldn't fit it But the plain gas version is great and I loves it
When I was looking around for an oven I can't say I remember being told of things to stay clear of, but it was a while ago.

I have a neff fan oven, and its brilliant.

We have a belling cookcenter and it's pretty awesome (and huuuuuuuuuuuge!) Very shexay!!

I've been lucky enough to have been spoiled a bit for ovens and hobs in my time. Other than a diddy little cooker we had donkey yonks ago we've always been lucky to have a big range jobbys. I love them. Though for two - possibly not necessary as you don't utilise it all generally (great at christmas though and when entertaining!)

I have to admit... after having both electric and gas hobs/ovens in the past I think the best combo is electric fanned oven and gas hob. I've always found that electric fanned ovens always cook more evenly and doesn't tend to dry stuff out (sounds backwards but I know what I mean!) I am now slightly partial to belling hobs though. They are the mutts nuts! Rangemasters are quite legendary too in my estimates.

Other than that I canny offer much advice! Good luck

Don't say I didn't warn you then

Just for the record I attended 100s of quality meetings for the above cookers (all made by Indesit) and management couldn't stop talking about Bosch and reaching their quality.
Indesit have got no chance now that those products are made in Poland.
Just before the place closed we had the Polish made ones in our QA and they were awful.
We thought the British made ones had cheap parts but the Polish ones were/are worse.
We even thought about calling in the authorities but also scared that we would lose what was fought for in our redundancy.
I know for absolute fact that cookers went out of the British factory that were a danger to the public.
Theres even an electronic model that I programmed with revision 33 software that actually worked.
All the 1000s of cookers that went out with R1 to 32 didn't work properly eg when turning on the double grill the single grill would come on and vice versa OR the numbers on the knob went from 1 to 4 but worked the opposite way round.

Its your money, make your decision, mine is Bosch because I never came across one in our QA that was faulty.
