Be aware that some Richmond 550e cookers (including mine) purport to have a safety feature which has been knowingly disabled by the manufacturer. The ceramic hob has a 'hot' warning symbol, but this does not illuminate when the hob has been used. After correspondence with Stoves, I have discovered that this is not a fault but is deliberate. The 550e model is no longer fitted with the relevant warning bulb under the glass. The manufacturer has used ceramic hobs with the warning symbol still present, making it appear this feature is still included. Neither sales information, packaging, user manual nor Stove website give any indication that this might be the case. Not only does this seem shoddy practice, but it clearly has the potential to be dangerous. I have raised the above issue with the manufacturers but despite ongoing email correspondence have yet to receive a satisfactory response.

This is a lovely looking cooker. The colour is superb. The dials are very chunky and easy to operate. Very good quality and hopefully my Christmas Dinner will taste superb. Really looking forward to using it.

Stunning looking and of high quality. Simple and stylish design. Straightforward to operate with even cooking. Absolutely thrilled

Like the colour, ease of use and big solid lid. Nice bright oven light Don't like that the knobs feel a little flimsy and i worry they might break.

This oven looks amazing! Great purchase and would definitely recommend.

Often freestanding cookers look a cheap and nasty afterthought, but the stunning colour combined with robust construction allow this to be a centre feature in a rustic kitchen. Looks are matched by its cooking ability. Both the ovens and the rings rapidly get to temperature, and baking is very even. Be aware the cooker needs to stand forward of the wall if the handle is not to clout the wall, and a wall mounted spacer is supplied to allow this. The hot warning on the hob is merely a printed message, not illuminated.

This is our second cooker form this brand its great It would help if it came with 3 shelves . I cant think of anything I dont like about it.

Smart all electric oven, bought to replace the black dual fuel model that I had for over 10 years (so would vouch for Stoves). All good so far, easy to clean and fans notably quiet compared to the last one.
