General Comments
I bought the Canon Camberley Double Oven cooker having owned a Canon Canterbury for the ten previous years, and having been extremely impressed with it. However, the Canon Camberley is an entirely different ball game.
I immediately noticed that it was nowhere near as solidly made as the Canterbury. This cooker has needed many service call outs. The holders onto which the control knobs fit have snapped several times. The front of the top oven was continually 'falling open' revealing wadding. This eventually required attention. There was a continuous humming noise when the cooker was first installed - very irritating. This was 'corrected' on several occasions by engineers. One engineer told me he wouldn't touch the cooker with a barge pole - he has a Stoves (says it all)! Now the gas jets on the hob are difficult to light, and some are producing a very low flame. AGAIN I will be having time off work waiting for an engineer.
This cooker was much more expensive than many, and I have been very unhappy with the quality. I would NEVER buy a Canon cooker again.

I bought a Stoves gas cooker and it has had everything possible wrong with it, call outs must have been a dozen and engineers/parts useless. Wish I had rejected it. Be warned.

I think all the problems mentioned should have been taken up with the makers when they continued to go wrong and I would have asked for a replacement.
