New cooker recommendations please

[Furyous]

Our 15 year old Zanussi dual fuel is about on its last legs, so went out on search for a replacement today.

Quite fancy a nice stainless one for a change.

Had a look in all the local big sheds, and came away not only empty handed, but very very disappointed with their ranges of overpriced tinny chinese shyte.

I looked at a Belling and a Zanussi, both in the £500ish bracket, and I have to say, I was pretty appalled at the shoddy and cheap build quality.

No way is either of these going to last the next 15 years.

So, I ask the people of ph to recommend me a cooker that is of good breeding and likely to last, and also not break the bank.

Further complicated by my desire to have a gas hob with a electric fan oven.

Seperates are allowed to be put forward as well.

TIA

I have one of these, a Lacanche Cluny with Fornair extractor hood, smashing piece of kit and something to polish in a blokey sort of way! About £4k though

Rich, thats very nice.

I should have said, Im looking at peasant sized 60cm units, not rangeys -much as Id love one.

Our Stoves Precision hasn't blinked an eye with massive amounts of use in the 2 years of our ownership and the 2 years before we moved in. Gas hob with 2 electric ovens, 1 fan, and a grill.

Yep, one of these, although built in not the end of the world.

Not heard good things about Stoves, although its obviously hearsay.Didnt think New World was a brand worth considering TBH.

My main point is that the all the cookers I looked at today were IMO expensive given the quality.Happy to spend a bit more to get something thats going to last.
