Duel Fuel Range Cooker Advice

[mephistophelean]

We have just bought our first house and want to redesign the kitchen. My wife and I do a lot of cooking and baking and wanted a large duel fuel range cooker upto about £2,000 but don’t want to spend more money than we need (i.e. wpuld be nice if less than this).

The cooker will need to have a grill, four or five hobs (okay if more).

We want it to be well made and to be robust and be in silver/stainless steel (SWHBO primary objective).

We were looking at the Rangemaster Toledo 110 but have seen some poor comments on this cooker on the internet.

Can you give me some options for my wife and I to look at. The difficulty I find with this is that you can’t exactly “try out” cookers before you buy.

Thanks Don.

My summary of the threads is that if I had funds upto about £4,500 I should be looking at range cookers from:

– Falcon
– Brittannia
– Mercury

Unfortunately my budget doesn’t stretch that far.

I have upto about £2,000 to spend and although the Rangemaster Toledo 90 is mentioned as a reasonable cooker, can I ask forum members who have used Rangemaster cookers what they think of the quality?

Alternatively, what cooker can I get that meets the specs that we need (see first post) that use decent parts and are robust for up to £2,000.

Hi

Some friends of ours have recently purchased this Britannia range I must say the doors are solid and have a nice feel to them, the control knobs are positive and the hob furniture is also a nice heavy guage. However I have not used it nor have I seen it in use, but the food we ate that was cooked on it was superb to say the least.

Pretty sure it came in under £2000 as well.

HTH 🙂
