Howdens Lamona LMA300 Reviews - howdens.com

So I’ve just had a new kitchen fitted that came with the Lamona cooker and hob, every time we use the cooker it fills with water, engineer came out couldn’t of been any less interested and then said well don’t cook frozen food in it, didn’t check or even turn the oven on, have had them back a second time to be told maybe it’s the seal, was told this would be replaced but 2 months on still haven’t been replaced, oven is still unusable as just too dangerous to use. As for the hob you are unable to use all 4 together as it just turns the whole hob off, if 2 are on the highest setting this again turns the whole hob off, again another engineer visit who said it wasn’t wired correctly, surprise surprise it still doesn’t work. I would not recommend any Lamona appliances to anybody.

Absolutely terrible product. Had it fitted on Christmas eve. Cooked my Christmas dinner in it and it was horrible. Roast potatoes were in for 1 hour despite cooking instructions stating 40 minutes.

They came out solid.

Fast forward to today (1/1/24)

Cooked the same roast potatoes again today….. 2 trays , exact same potatoes (m&s) on the same shelf.

One tray was burnt and raw and the other was pale and slightly cooked. They were in for an hour.

Wish i could upload a photo but i cant see the option.

Hoping i can get a refund from Howdens when they reopen. Ill not hold my breath!!!

Will be purchasing a Hotpoint when the shops reopen.

Stay clear from this monstrosity of a product.

Bought this as recommended by Howdens. Despite them designing the kitchen my builder said the double oven housing wasn't right and the small oven/ microwave had to sit directly on the big oven. After 2 months we couldn't close the door of the main oven so it wouldn't switch on. With Christmas days away I contacted Howdens who couldn't be less interested. My builder shamed them into supplying a new one which arrived Christmas eve but with no one to fit it. Started going again today. Utter rubbish. Wish Howdens has been honest when we asked about reliability.

Been living in the house for 6 months, oven not great itself, but today put the food to cook into oven went upstairs and after 10 min heard the banging noise - the inside door exploded!

Took the oven out after 2 weeks then tha microwave after 3 weeks. The gas hob is useless. Put a pan on and it fall off onto the floor. Totally disgusting and very unsafe especially if you have children. Hate it going to change when I can afford.

Purchased a kitchen for our first house from Middlesbrough Branch 2 months ago. Salesman was great but the kitchen and the appliances AWFUL. Oven hasnt worked from day one doesnt heat up enough to even cook food and now the intergrated fridge freezer is now completely broken. 8 weeks and now we cannot use our kitchen.

New kitchen fitted 2 years ago and the cooker is really bad. I have just had a very stressful attempt of cooking Christmas dinner which took 5 times longer than it should have done because the cooker was not heating up properly. Not impressed and definitely would not recommend.i thought it had been taking longer than it should have done to cook things but today showed me how bad it really is.

Purchased a new kitchen at howden 4 years ago with all new lamona intergrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, hob oven and microwave..within 6 months hob went (lucky still under guarantee) so repair free...but I have had to replace fridge/freezer..repair washing machine, door on microwave and now dishwasher is starting to play up...the worst purchase I have ever made buying lamona products would never recommend .....avoid not the cheapest surely products should last more than 2 years...

Bought a Lamona via Howdens just under five years ago. Now it trips our circuit on opening the door. No Lamona engineer will look at it because it is out of the two year guarantee period. Appliance repair companies won't look at it because it is Lamona and difficult to test and work with. Local electricians can't do a diagnosis because the Lamona design prevents this.

Howdens quoted £689 for a replacement (integrated cooker and microwave Lam 7001-1.)

Am not prepared to stomach this bill in the current situation where goodwill on my part is absent towards Lamona and Howdens.

Now I discover that, so far, every other make is 595 mm wide cabinet width and Lamona is 550mmwide. Banjaxed again.

I would like to have known that Lamona don't support their appliances after two years. I would also like Howdens to have informed us that repairs are virtually impossible. I routinely reject insuring new appliances because it is usually an optional extra that is not necessary. This situation is 'engineered' in my opinion by Lamona. Had I known I would have considered insurance in a different light.

Bought a brand new kitchen from Howdens which came with Lamona appliances. Oven is as described by other reviewers. Takes ages to cook, doesn't cook evenly. Food burns at bottom and cols on top. Howdens refusing to replace it because their engineer put a thermometer in and said "oh yes it's hot". With this number of reviews it ought to be a product recall. Am starting an official complaints process with Howdens customer service.
