Just wondering if any one on the forum has a dual fuel range cooker? We` are putting in a new kitchen next month and always wanted one , but the reviews are mixed . I`m afraid of buying an expensive headache.  |

Go for it Ladybird. Lucky, lucky you. There was one here when we came in, but it really had 'had it'. The Rayburn heats everything, but possibly the Aga doesn't. I have experience in Scotand with the Stanley, and my childhood was spent with an Esse and then a Carmichael. I would probably look at oil like my neighbour has.

I`m afraid a AGA or similar is way out of my price range Cherry. I was thinking rather of a conventional cooker that looks like a range . I had been contemplating a rangemaster kitchener but I`d really like a cream Stoves Richmond 1100 it has four ovens and seven gas burners and looks great but a few reviews mention the enamel coming of the doors and a little bit of rust after a few years. It`s about £1400

That is still a lot of money Ladybird. I don't know about these cookers at all.

My brother has one which is gas and electric, his has 3 ovens, four burners and an electric hot plate (he could have had six burners). Having used his I would definitely get one if I were putting in a new kitchen. I wouldn't go for a gas hob though, there is far too much fiddly cleaning. I'd have an electric, glass hob, they are as responsive as gas and only take a quick wipe to clean  |

That does look very similar to my brothers but I expect all range cookers look like range cookers. His is 12 years old and still looks good, he has had to replace a thermostat and now the clock buttons have got an intermittent problem, this doesn’t sound too serious but if there is a power cut the cooker wont work until the clock has been reset.
