never eva buy from these again had trouble from day one.

i bought this cooker recently, used from the classified ads, by what i have read and since using it i am glad i never spent out all that maoney for a new one. the fan is on even if you open the grill door to put plates for warming. the fan is on again all throught the sunday roast and it is getting on my nerves so i think i will be selling it on again once i purchase another cooker. the knobs are also on the way to being melted .

The 4 burner cooktop lights easily, but knobs do not hold in "off" position (too easy to knock knobs on for gas leakage). Grill & oven are hard to light and do not stay alight for long. Not sure if this is a problem with the type of jets used, or if it is poor workmanship/quality control.I am surprised this type of cooker complies with australian standards reguarding the control knobs, and think suppliers/ installers should check if it is infact within the relevant australian standard

Stoves New Home cooker - didnt want to give it any stars but the webpage wouldnt let me put my comment on without a rating in every box.
Never had a gas cooker before, certainly wouldnt have one again after this experience. Grill does not cook and heat is not adjustable on it, have had to start frying everything to avoid starvation. The main oven takes hours to cook anything specially if more than one item is put in at once or if it is a cook from frozen item - waited 75 mins the other night for kiev and oven chips and the chips were still hard!!! Have to add on at least 45 mins extra even for a single item like a chicken or joint. I cook for family of 4 so need to put more than one thing in - we have ended up eating out several times as so hungry could not wait any longer for grub to cook. The top oven door gets SCALDING hot and will not lay flat but springs up when I am trying to get warmed plates out and I have had two serious burns on my wrists. We live in rented accomodation so the oven came with the property but it is so bad we are gonna go out and buy a new oven ourselves, that is if we havent starved to death in the meantime waiting for our dinner to cook :(

I cannot give this cooker any more than 1s tars. The grill is totally useless - 30 minutes to lightly grill bacon, hate to think how long it would take for crispy rashers! The manufacturer has been out twice. The first time the engineer stated there was nothing wrong with it, although he agreed it wasn't very hot. The second time the engineer tested everything and found nothing wrong, but conceded that the grills aren't very good on this model. I would NEVER but this make again and CANNOT recommend it at all.

The doors get VERY VERY hot. I bought my Stoves Newhome SI550DOm last August. Even though it is cleaned straight after use, my upper oven door is dicoloured brown. My pies & cakes cook more on the rear side, but also the centre doesn't cook properly.
I am extremely dissapointed as I have had Newholme ovens with glass doors before and never encountered any problems. I only changed it as we were unable to get parts for it.,
