Free standing electric cooker

Mystery Egg

Hi. Can anyone recommend a free standing electric cooker? One with a good reliable oven that's good for cakes and breads.

If you are happy with yours or have a warning about a make or model, please post here. TIA!

Last year I had to change the cooker, wanted to get away from the old style rings and get a fan oven, about the best reviewed unit I could find was this belling double oven with halogen rings : https://www.currys.ie/ieen/household-appliances/cooking/cookers/belling-fse60dop-60-cm-electric-ceramic-cooker-stainless-steel-10158573-pdt.html

Have to say its superb and does everything well. The fan oven cooks pretty evenly and the grill is decent too.

Thanks a million for the recommendation.

hi i work a electric shop and we sell cookers. Electrolux and zanussi and hotpoint would be the best. you can get a double 60cm zanussi for 599. electrolux would be 699 roughly hinges would be a bit stronger on the electolux. Zanussi and electrolux have great ovens that you can cook on multi levels. belling used to be good cookers years ago but not anymore

Having said all that, we have a zanussi zcv662mxc and I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s no longer sold I believe. Hob is totally unreliable and the oven element went last year and since we replaced it the oven can never hit 250c anymore.

Thanks very much both of you, I am taking notes on all you say.

Gloom, how old is your cooker do you know?

I have an Electrolux double, built in oven that I'm extremely happy with - I'd definitely go Electrolux again if I needed an oven.

Can you check the model for me and report back?

3 or 4 years old, I think!

The double oven in Electrolux cookers seems to be the same as the one in Zanussi and AEG, all part of the same group.

Mine is a built in oven , not a free standing one.
I was just recommending the brand.
