Whats the best budget duel fuel cooker?

dllive

Hi,

Im after a duel fuel cooker (gas hob and electric oven). I need the oven door needs to be top-opening (rather than side-opening). My budget is about £450.

Does anyone have any recommendations? When I decide on one, how much will it cost to install? Ive been quoted £150 which seems a bit steep. (although I have no idea, so perhaps is reasonable).

Thanks

What width of cooker?
And do you already have gas and a suitable electric supply going to the location?

Id like the width to be 60cm. Yes, there is a suitable gas/electric supply. The new cooker is to replace the existing ancient gas cooker.

In which case £150 for fitting does seem a bit steep, although two trades are required. Probably a pretty standard charge, then :-(. All you can do is seek more quotes, I guess.
Can't suggest anything re actual cookers, so keep checking reviews until someone does.

I cant comment on the fitting, but about 10 years ago I bought a 100cm Dual-Fuel New World Cooker - It was far from the best cooker in the world, but it lasted surprisingly well for the bits that matter. After a few years the decals for the "temp" etc had all mostly faded off, and it was showing some signs of wear and tear (but then it was used several times a day for the hob, and almost daily for the oven). The only repair I had to do during that time was replace the thermostat for the over, which was about 20 quid. Other than that, it help up well, and I only "got rid" of it as i left it in the house when I moved.

Here's an "equivalent" to what I had, obviously do your own research and check if their still as "decent" as they were 10 years ago!

Will you be relying on a 13amp socket, or do you have a dedicated 32amp circuit?  Do you want one or two ovens?

Hmm. I think (I will check later) that I have a dedicated circuit.
Just one oven would suffice. (Dont think I have the space for 2)
