    They are all roughly the same money, some have one feature that the other one does’nt and vice versa, which one would the learned gentlemen on here recommend & why?

    Regards Strocky!Rangemaster R6 range (R604, R609, R6012) is an almost identical looking oven, I do warranty work for them covering quite a large area and havent had to repair 1 in the year plus that these ovens have been out, and like BSH have a two year warranty.

    Thanks for that was seriously interested in the Rangemaster as the folks have a range, but like my gadgets too much, so in the end I purchased a Bosch HBA76B650B

    Also remember to leave lots of ventilation for the hob, it’ll need it. I normally say to people to try as best they can not to put an oven under an induction hob as, in my experience, it’s one of the primary reason that you get trouble with an induction hob.

    How reliable are the Rangemaster ovens, I know they don’t have as many PCB’s etc to go wrong as the Siemens, but I’m worried that a 1 year warranty doesn’t exactly scream confidence from the manufacturer
    ?
    ???? ALL Rangemaster kitchen appliances come with a 2 year warranty as standard, these built under ovens are pretty sweet too.

    Was going by the website info here -:

    http://www.discountedheating.co.uk/shop … Ovens.html

    It’s either a typo or as they’re maybe not official Rangemaster stockists, they can only offer a shop warranty?

    I reckon you would get a 20lb turkey in the large oven and the veg in the top oven.

    Again apologies for all the Q’s!

    I think gandh may have confused you a little 😉

    There are three sizes of built in oven of which two would apply in this instance. Single built in which goes into a housing waist height and up or can be built under the worktop measuring 60cm wide an 60cm high. There are loads of these on the market with varying functions and colours.

    The other is the double built under the worktop which is 72cm high. Not so many of these available as they are a low volume seller, most good suppliers will carry a couple.

    If you go for a single under the worktop you may need to carry out some joinery work to raise the oven up.

    HTH 🙂

    Cheers. I’m easily confused 😳

    Starting to make sense, looks like I can save money going for a B/I S/O as long as I allow for some joinery work and living with having the grill as part of the oven (not really an issue as I have a LG Solardom M/W)

    Thanks for your help Don 8)

    They’ve been bust a few times, parts are impossible and the last I heard (a couple of months ago) they’d gone bust… again! I don’t know how reliable that is but I can tell you that they don’t exactly hold a high standing in many quarters of the industry.

    What state the business is in now I don’t know.

    gandh1 wrote:ok as its a bit of a bandwagon thread, seriously CONSIDER whether you need a b/u d/o…

    total capacity for both ovens only slightly outweighs a single, the main benefit obviously being control of 2 temperature zones in one carcass space.

    fact is the main oven on any b/u d/o is tiny, and rarely has enough height to comfortably accomodate a christmas turkey.

    as well as this, obviously unit preparation will add to teh total cost of incorporating a b/u d/o, especially if its a case of a 60×60 single oven to a b/u d/o and if there is only a 13a feed for the original oven…

    and again other than the advantage of having the hob separate to the oven, in case something major goes wrong with one or the other, there is no contest between a hob+b/u d/o vs freestanding d/o cooker… f/s d/o wins hands down 🙂

    Based on the oven capacity problem, when goggling for large capacity bu ovens, came across this brand, any info regarding them?

    I am not trying to hijack your post but it was an excellent title for my question :tup:

    Anyhow, now that i have my new ise10 on order :bounce: I am on the hunt for a good ceramic hob freestanding cooker, i can have 500,550 or 600mm width. I usually buy products from manufacturers who are producing a particular item, the only time i have not done this is by using british gas for my electricity (it was a hard decision but a good deal). So back to the cooker, i will consider new world, belling, cannon or another ‘cooker make’. I have been considering a belling FSE60DO in black (yes black) but would have a different colour. So any recommendations would be appreciated.

    thanks in advance

    Might be worth a look, but I’m sure the pro’s on here will give their learned opinion 8)

    Gloss Black as well!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    The hob ventilation discounts the Brittania option then 😉

    Also is there a great differential in the cost of repairs between the Rangemaster & Siemens?

    Every single one of them on the trade side is from engineers finding it virtually impossible to get parts or technical information about these appliances.

    Cheers mate, came to that conclusion after finding it difficult to find UK info on this brand and after searching on US Forums, the Kitchenaid ovens seem to be prone to breaking after using the Pyrolytic clean function

    Also the general consensus was they where re-badged Whirlpools 😳

    Looks like i’ll go down the NEFF/Bosch/Siemens route or spend another £600 and go for a Rangemaster Induction
