10 years on. Disappointed 😞

10 years on. Disappointed.
I was in the lucky position to self build a modest home 10 years ago and have my dream cookers fitted.
I went for a 600 Esse solid fuel range cooker and spliced it with a 600 Esse Electric cooker. Trim was made for the top and bottom to make it look like one unit. The appearance was fantastic and gained many good comments, however in practice both units were lacking. Maybe things have improved, but this is my reviews of each unit after 10 years use.
The 600 Electric unit. The ceramic home of poor quality and impossible to keep clean. The grill broke 3 times, I don't use it now.
The 600 solid fuel unit. No way to riddle it! After a couple of days use it clogs up. The glass door is good, but that is about it. The hot plate hasn't worn well.
Sadly I wish I had used my previous brand of cast iron range. At great expense and research I had thought I had chosen wisely. Very disappointed 😞

Excellent service.

I emailed customer services regarding a riddle plate. I received a very prompt, helpful and informative reply from Kelsie. It made ordering the correct replacement a breeze. I was also kept up-to-date with the tracking of the parcel. Very happy. Thank you.

Hard to cook on

They were brilliant and came out and sorted my air flow as quickly as possible. Its been a month and I have still not managed to get the oven hot enough to cook in and get a kettle to boil which is disappointing. But warms my kitchen nicely. Had I afforded it I would have got the iron heart instead.
