My Lamona oven was purchased when I had a Howdens kitchen installed. It worked fine for a while then the element and fan needed replacing, when it had run out of guarantee. Subsequently, the fan stopped working and then the element had to be replaced. So, in total, there have been three fans and three elements in this appliance. Now the top oven has gone on strike and it doesn't work at all. Somebody recommend me a more robust oven please.

Lived in my house nearly a year where i have a nice Howdens kitchen and a awful Lamona oven.first the fan kept sticking and making a graunching noise , then the element went.(the replacement came quickly).this element was broken within 3 months and they sent a free replacement (again quickly).Now the thermostat has gone wrong.I have a separate oven thermostat and I can see there is a massive difference between the true reading and the oven one.There is also a design fault that the bars on the shelves are too close and with a lip on the front you can not push the dishes from underneath. The good points are, if it works long enough to cook anything the doors are easy to get apart to clean, and the parts replacement service is very fast as they must be very busy.

I have recently had a howdens lamona double oven fitted. It's fine but I cant find any info about the actual fan. It takes 20 mins for the fan to go off is there anything I can do to shorten this time?

In 2013 I purchased a complete kitchen from Howden's which included the Lamona LAM4601 Oven and sink taps. In late 2016 the tap started to drip and I finally managed to obtain a free replacement washer from Howden's. The night before I was due to pick this up my oven started to make the most horrendous noise and reminded me of a helicopter taking off. It was clear that the rear fan was either loose or warped. I informed Howden's of this and was told that the guarantee had expired and to contact the Lamona Service Line.This I did and was told that I would have to pay £122 before an engineer could attend, I agreed to this and awaited a return call from the Engineer which never came. In the meantime I viewed review's for Lamona Ovens and was shocked at what I had found. I have now ordered a new cooker from Currys as I do not want to put my family of risk. This cooker is only three years old and I am really annoyed at having to purchase another cooker after such a short time.

This stupidly designed heap of rubbish just nearly set my house on fire as the fan had got stuck in the bottom oven and it was only by chance I was checking my mate that I noticed the back of the oven was glowing red with heat absolutely disgusting that this is even on the market as you would assume if there was a fault it Would of cutout of used but no it was going to kill me and my three kids on top of this the oven takes for ever to heat up it's meant to be quicker but I've used twice as much as electric as are used to with my old oven this is the worst possible design ever

this must have been designed by a man why? 1.You have to close oven door when grilling. 2.The grill pan has no handle to remove from grill. 3 The tray in the pan the slots are too wide so food ie sausage/bacon falls through to bottom of pan. 4.When you do open door after grilling steam is every where and makes oven door and below wet. 5. Ive been tyrying to understand starting and stopping of oven why can you not just set start at what ever time and finish at whatever time why have to" set at end of desired cooking time first then set at length of cooking time" 6.There are only two shelves in bottom oven personally not enough. 7.With the both the oven and top grill i feel it takes a long time for either of them to heat up..

I despair about my rubbish Lamona oven and wonder if you can recommend the replacement that you purchased.
