Quiet oven fan and easy to clean hob
5/5
We swapped our 11 year old Rangemaster Toledo dual fuel for this induction version and have been impressed by the speed of it. The oven heats up to 180c in 5 minutes, the fan is very quiet. The new style pull out grill works well. The hob simply needs a quick wipe over after use. The control knobs have a rubber ring around them that makes them easy to grip. A pan of water comes to the boil very quickly and having no temperamental ignition to worry about is a bonus. Not having to worry about how high flames are creeping up the side of a pan makes life easier. If you are concerned about changing to induction, don't be. I've used gas hobs for 60 years, never had anything else and found the swapover easy. The other bonus is the display on the hob that shows clearly which ring you turned on and what number you set, so you don't have to bend down to see the setting. The instant drop in temperature when you turn a pan down, does take a bit of getting used to.
The oven bakes reasonably evenly, the door closes easily. There is nothing I was disappointed with on this oven. The hob has its own chorus of clicks and whirrs, but you get used to it quickly.
