The cooker itself is brilliant, I'd had a smaller Rangemaster before so knew what to expect, but this is much bigger and is dual fuel. The six ring gas hob means loads of space for multiple pans at once, and lots of flexible oven space so I can slow cook the roast and blast the spuds and yorkshire puds at the same time. The fan ovens are brilliant, and take out the guesswork I had with my previous gas oven. The first proper meal I cooked on it was Christmas dinner, and it all came out perfect! The cooker looks gorgeous too. The fans in the oven make no more noise than I would expect, so not a problem, certainly not unduly loud but definitely not quiet. The multi-function oven is taking some getting used to, but once I've worked it out I suspect I'll find it easy to use, it's just a question of familiarity. The stainless steel top will take a bit of care to keep it looking lovely. It cost a fortune but I would say it was worth it. But essentially no complaints at all, I love it.

The Elise cooker really is special. As it is made to order, I had to wait a while to get it but it was worth the wait. The colour, cream, was not stocked anywhere locally, so I hadn't even seen it until it was delivered and I was somewhat relieved that the colour fits in with my industrial/country kitchen, being a somewhat muted cream, rather than shiny and bright, which would have looked cheaper I feel. The brushed nickel knobs feel expensive and the ovens and grill are quick to heat and easy to use and clean. The only major problem I had was that the wok burner is on the outer sides, so with the wok pan on top, it would not fit in the fireplace alcove with a pan in place. We solved this by bringing the cooker forward a little, so it sits out of the fireplace, which looks fine and we now have a small shelf behind the cooker which is actually quite useful. Bearing this in mind, make sure you have room at the sides of the cooker for the wok. A minor problem is that you have to keep the knob down for a little longer than I would have anticipated, before the gas burners remain ignited but I have got used to it now but it can be a bother when you are in a hurry. Overall, I love it!
