So nice to be able to get things cooked at the same time without doing a juggling act.

Glad you like it, but why buy from the high street when you can choose something more specialist online for similar money. I hope you didn't buy your car from Car Craft and your PC from PC World too!

Sorry!

I thought that before I bought. Could find nothing comparable for the money after months of searching on-line. Next step up would have been about £1400.

We have one of these:



I can thoroughly recommend not buying it. Its 70cm wide rather than 60cm, and we wanted it for the extra burner and oven space. But the oven is just a stty 60cm one stuck inside the larger casing. Not impressed. Lesson is to see it for real before you buy. I was going to get a Smeg but the missus vetoed it. I probably spent the difference on those suede slut wellies that she never wears. Ho hum.

I bet my bile duct that there is at least one PHer but probably many that have an Elica Star cooker hood.

Come on, out yourselves, you're amongst friends here...

have got the 90cm one but its still a single oven.
plus points have to be the amount you can fit in the oven, the spit roast attachment and the excellent 5 burner hob.

the downside is i will rarely, if ever, need to fill the oven with things required to be at the same temperature. should;ve thought about it and gone for the twin oven but it was so cheap i was blinded by the sale price!
