Cooks to perfection. Love the fan forced ovens with all the shelves especially when baking cakes and biscuits. It just looks absolutely fantastic in the kitchen and the color range available would suit any ones kitchen. The convenience of 3 ovens is great when entertaining. The option of 5 gas burners is excellent.

I am so glad I spent the extra money to purchase exactly the stove I wanted

published

My husband was not convinced that this stove was needed but it was the one I wanted. I had seen a demonstration at the Melbourne Home Show about three years ago. The stove was installed one year ago as our old stove gave up the ghost. we are still deciding how we want the renovation of our kitchen to proceed but our belling stove has been brilliant. The ease of having the three ovens has been wonderful, The space on the cooktop is a huge improvement on our last stove and we are very pleased with the wok burner hotplate. There are definitely no regrets in our purchase.

Happy

Ten years ago I spent a lot of money on a lofra oven that never worked. Second time around I did my research. I have had my belling oven for a little over a month and I am so happy. Everything about this oven works. Food is cooked quickly, crispy but remains moist. After my first oven I really just wanted an oven that worked and worked well and this seems to of ticked all the boxes. A little bit of adjusting to the smaller size oven and trays but I feel that is a matter of readjusting my habits. Also be aware that this oven is a 35w oven and so was costly to instore by an electrician and gas plumber

Beware.

published

My long oven door was not sealing and as a result the control knobs above are scorched and the front of the oven is scratched up and scorched.
I've stopped using the big oven now.
$4000 investment that's a write off in my opinion. Cooking is no longer a joy.

Nightmare

published

After 6 months of trouble and repeated repairs, finally with help from Fair Trading, we had our stove replaced. No problems with new unit for a year until last night the same problems started to occur, similar with the first unit. What a nightmare, back to the drawing board and now have to deal with this company again!!!

Controls are not intuitive. The manual is missing important details, and needs a complete re-write.

published

We recently had friends looking after our house. When we got back, they said they couldn't work the griller. So I decided to read the manual. Here's what I found.... 1. There's three ovens, nowhere is it mentioned which is which - you can read the whole manual from front to back and still not know which oven is controlled by the timer. 2. There's a knob (simmerstat) on the RHS that controls the grill on the LHS. 3. Symbol descriptions are vague - squiggly line means uncontrolled, ('cept for the top left oven, which has a simmerstat, on the RHS); solid line means controlled by thermostat.

Can't fault it

published

Love having 3 ovens, they come in so handy when having a party.
The only problem I ever had was the little red lights above the knobs being getting pushed in.
Everything else is just great, our cabinets are vinyl wrapped and are mm's from the oven, they haven't burnt in any way in almost 4 years of use.
Oh and it looks sensational.

A big expensive let down

published

Had thermostat replaced after a year in bottom left oven, still get various readings from oven by my personal thermometer, Top left grill door, the paint melted off the door so had the skin replaced. Really don't like the sliders for pulling out bakes and trays, can be dangerous when getting frustrated trying to pull them out!

Disappointed

published

We love the functionality,and the aesthetics of the Belling product but we are terrified it is going to burn down our kitchen. We have terrible scorching on the large oven side of the cooker,we use the smaller oven more regularly with no problems to date. Belling are shifting the blame to the joiner but he has followed all the installation procedures with no minimum spacings specified. We believed we were purchasing a premium product. Belling along with Harvey Norman have let us down.

Great Oven for price

published

I had to leave a review after reading some previous reviews which I felt I had the complete opposite experience to me. We are heavy cookers and have trialed a large amount of various recipes in our 90cm Richmond which we have only had excellent results.
The Oven doors will get warm on the outside yet haven't had any issues of it being a hazard with kids to burn themselves.
Hope this helps as I would recommend the product. In fact my neighbour ended up buying one after using ours!

Rubbish!!

published

Terrible oven, burnt kitchen down twice. Belling refuse to fix kitchen a second time. Reaches over 130 degrees on the outside. Apparently this is normal. Rubbish product - Safety Hazard and even worse customer service. Avoid at all costs. Installed correctly as per manual asked for cabinet material then refused. I'm also talking to other people who have had the same issue with the kitchen melting next to the oven. Told other customer it's a known issue, refuse to tell me the same.

Loved my new oven until discovered door doesn't stay shut :(

published

Absolutely loved my new oven bought specifically for the three seperate oven areas to replace my previous one oven range cooker. Quickly discovered that the door on the right hand oven doesn't stay shut once reaches near 200 degrees. Not really sure how this makes it fir for purpose :( As a result the knobs above get very hot (too hot to touch without oven gloves) and I worry they will melt. Kitchen cabinet directly next to open door has also melted. Had one repair (metal frame fitted inside door) and oven in now even worse. If opened when on wont actually close again. Would have been better sticking to my prev oven :(. Now feel like can't actually functionally use half of this one.

Disappointing

published

Have had trouble with large oven door not closing, so heat escaping from oven, eventually was replaces and still not right, have to kick shut at the bottom, poor design !!! Also coating flaking off knobs and not even a year old, we had our last cooker for 13 years and had no problems. Obviously not built to last even a year. Do not buy, after care atrocious. Two years on, it does work but coating flaking off more knobs & have been told it's what I'm cleaning it with ( washing up liquid & a soft cloth, I'm not stupid) customer service is very poor.
Can use small oven separate, so save on energy.
Cheap construction, knobs, door, hobs.

Richmond 90cm BR900DF

I’m really keen on the Belling Richmond 900 duel fuel in black but you have mixed reviews.
Is the any difference with models or frequency of issues with doors warping etc?
Would love to purchase but want to make sure as it’s a significant investment in our kitchen Reno.
Many thanks, Paula.

Ours is 6 years old and we still love it. They have a new model now that looks like they've addressed the couple of issues that I see others talking about. They've changed the design of the door, for example.

If they have fixed the long door (RHS) warping that would make a big difference. I am still concerned however that IO have contacted both the Belling dealer in Australia as well as the carefree criminals who sold it to me (Harvey N__man) and am still unable to get any after sales service. Maybe you should establish a relationship with the after sales service people through whoever is selling to you before you pay.

Hi Paula, Thank you for reaching out to Euromaid, We are delighted to hear you love the Belling range as much as we do, The new Richmond Deluxe series is a new platform and the door structure has been updated, so no warping issue, please let us know if you have any further issues thank you
