Had this lovely cooker for 3 months sadly the knobs have melted. Shame they are not metal

Good cooker let down by very poor knobs.. They're plastic covered in a metal finish which bubbled off in less than a year and the knobs above the oven have started to melt!! This cooker was almost £2k so I'd expect metal controls at least! Rangemaster ignored my emails.

I bought this cooker when we moved into our new house around 5 years ago It all started with a number of troubles with the grill burner, to which we had to have a couple of service calls when the engineer repaired it, eventually I had to insist that they replaced it, shortly afterwards the electric warming plate burnt out and that had to be replaced. progressively one by one the burners have ceased to burn properly, ie, the flame is higher oneside of the burner than the other. And now a second warming plate has burnt out. In conclusion I can only guess that Rangemaster are marketing their product on a name that was once a symbol of reliability, but now is nothing more than third rate trashy materials and workmanship to say the least of very poor design. I will certainly not by buying another Rangemaster cooker, as an engineer of 45 years standing, where I have dealt with domestic and commercial appliances alike, I find Rangemaster products to be absolute rubbish. If your thinking about buying one the simple answer is don't.
