Opinions needed on Belling range cooker, is it quality brand?

I have my eyes one Belling GOURMET 90DFRED dual feul range cooker, as it looks good in the picture, and also has a price tag that is acceptable...

But not sure about the quality, any ideas, please? Thank you!

Belling was *the* brand years ago, but I have no idea where they sit quality wise these days. My previous cooker was a Belling and lasted well.

I've had 2 belling cookers in the last 15 years.
My original, was great with only the heating element needing to be replaced, which was simple enough.

My second, purchased purchased without research, but my first had lulled me into a false sense of security.
The purchase price was mid range, but build quality was poor and this affected durability. In the end, after 18 months, I despised this cooker so much, I stuck it outside the front door and waited for the scrap man. I replaced it with a £25 ebay purchase, till I could save up to replace.

Another once well respected brand that has gone to the dogs in recent years in my opinion.
Friends who have bought them in recent years have all had problems. Used to be well made but seemingly no longer so.
