Want something like this:

Steam Oven & Conventional oven...

Also to keep it more nice but pricey, they are 760mm wide. So you need bespoke cabinets to house them, after doing my last house / kitchen. anything thats not a regular 600m width is going to cost.

OK, they weren't that expensive 15 years ago. Not adjusting for inflation though.

15 years ago you could buy a 4 bed house off balls pond road for the price of a range-cooker now

All of which proves that any cost involved in building a time machine would be completely moot.

Ha! You are the witch from Hansel and Gretel AICMFP

Cheers for the cookers feedback everyone. Off to do some research now. Much appreciated.

Just been staring at a French Top for an hour.

Is the wolf really going to last 20 times longer?

More to the point - are you?

£16k RRP on this Wolf Range

A snip @ £10k on ebay !

None of us will ever know or care. The expensive ones are made of more durable materials, thicker enamels more attention to detail, more quality on the functional side (pipework, heater elements). The others are made down to a price so something has to give.

Over-engineered if you only want a range that looks good until you move on in a couple of years. On the other hand they would probably outlast the owners so it's great if you want to keep one for 40 years.

Sadly Rosieres are 17cm too wide. The online reviews of Rangemasters are evenly split between "good!" and "shit!" which terrifies me.

Looking at ILVE and Bertazzoni now. Much sexy. Very money.

There's a Britannia on eBay, used for £175.00 looks clean, but deep clean it and you're set. The clock ticking thing is normal behaviour, it happens when kids fiddle with the timer knob (which they love to do).

Based on the 10 years our kenwood has lasted so far, it seems unlikely!

If I spend that much on a cooker, it's moving towards 'family heirloom' status!

Like the Aga in the estate cottage that great grandfather used to cook his porridge on (not a euph).

There's another one for £300 with an induction hob!

Induction, surely gas is better ;)

Not sure, I've never really seen the merits of the different fuel types discussed. I wonder where I could find that kind of thing. :)

In any case, I'd be happy with a much cheaper second hand cooker and spend a few hours cleaning it.

Cheers!

I have a blocked drain pipe = water dripping down side of house = large column of damp brickwork.

Will the house collapse, and will all perish within?

Do I have a moral obligation to tell my elusive landlord?

Not an obligation but it's probably more convenient for you both to get someone in to sort the guttering, rather than damp issue further down the line

Any interest here?

Good choice of cooker, we've the same.

I've got a 100cm range cooker made by leisure. John Lewis sell them for about a grand but I paid 650 for it from coop electricals. I took a bit of a punt buying a cheaper range but I have to say I'm very pleased with it, its v solid and appears well made.
