Disappointed

published

Purchased this stove four years ago which came from the factory faulty. The same fault has been repaired six times and Belling will not replace it. Cannot recommend Belling products.



Purchased in March 2021 at Winning Appliances for A$1,699.00.

Terrible oven

published

New looking appliance in our recently purchased home is terrible to cook with. Main issue is the oven, it just doesn't get hot enough - nowhere near. Also, the fact the numbers have all been lost on the front of the appliance means we have no idea what temperature we are cooking at. But it is warm at best. The 4 gas burners are also very variable re heat. We are unhappy with this appliance and need to replace it, shame as it looks near new.

Purchased in March 2021.

Happy with the stove

published

Elements are not high powered but adequate for most cooking & react to changes of settings quickly . I use an electric deep fryer for deep frying & high temperature cooking. I like the ceramic top which is easy to clean. Also love the two ovens allowing different temperature for various foods. Main oven is a little low but heats quickly & maintains temperature well. Miss not having a timer however purchased a separate timer which solve the issue. One of few uprights that fit in cavity.

Quite adequate

published

I had this oven already in the house we recently bought. We changed it because I prefer wall ovens and separate cooktops, but used it for six months while waiting for a kitchen refit.
The Belling is a UK brand and this one may be too small for most people, however, I found, upon testing that the oven temperature was precise and the unit I used cooked evenly.
That said, I did find the cooktop less than satisfactory because the hotplates took far too long to get up to temperature. This may be because I'm accustomed to using gas though.
In the end, I found it quite satisfactory for baking, though it's oven may be regarded as too small.

Good but could be better

published

Food cookes great. Favorite feature is the double oven as we didn't have the room for two full size ovens so it's a great compromise. I use the small one almost every day and both on big weekend cook ups and everything cooks as expected. Down points is food gets easily behind the glass front where the knobs are and this is very hard to clean and with a white cooker is very noticeable. Also had one of the knobs come off within a year which no makes it look older and more worn then it actually is.

Very basic

published

I didnt realise the unit was so light in weight, even though it is free standing, it comes with a chain to attach it to the wall to stop from tipping forward, if, for example, cooking in big pot on front large hotplate of cooktop: hotplates do not have a stainless rim around them so are very hard to keep clean. knobs are coming loose after having the stove for less than a year.
Racks inside the oven are very flimsy and care must be removing hot baking dish from oven as racks slip forward.

Recommend don't buy

3 month old cooker. Both bottom oven and top oven/grill stopped working. Reported to Glen Dimplex, under warranty. Still waiting on technician to call. Non existent after sales service. 3 calls to them plus email. No length of time given when technician would call. Meenwhile we have only hot plates to cook on. This cooker was purchased on the recommendation of Harvey Normaan salesman. I've emailed them also. My next step is ACCC. Never buy a Belling again.

Perfect for those who love cooking up a storm

published

Wow. Love ❤️ the double oven feature. Absolute must if you love baking. The double oven makes it so much easier to bake a lot at once. Even to have dinner cooking in one and dessert in the other. Choice of baking levels make it great for doing a wide variety of cooks. I have mastered the perfect pavlova in this beauty. Cooks beautifully and even. Cook top and grill works a treat too.

Good stove love the double oven, but could do with a splash back and timer

published

Good heat control on the ceramic top hot plates
The best features are the fan forced oven and amount of different heights that you can have the shelves at, when cooking, unlike some other ovens
The ceramic top makes it easy to clean if something is spilt on it and the oven has plenty of room in it, compared to other stoves /stoves of the same size

This is the best cook top and oven I have ever used.

published

Very happy with my stove. It cooks beautifully and it is very easy to clean. I love the twin oven - very hand for just warming food or baking a quick batch of scones. Yes I would happily buy another Belling cooktop and oven but hopefully I won't have to for many years yet.

Knobs malfunction

published

Weak knobs have too replace them twice, and the last time the warranty was off, cost me a lot of money,but those one were reinforced with a metal ring, thing should have been like that from the start, I should not have to paid for bad defective knobs costing me $100 plus for them,otherwise great stoves, easy to clean,removal glass so handy,will go for the same brand again, but still not happy with the after service,regards Marc

Lack of timer, red light, baking tray

Look of the stainless stove, but disappointed of no timer, no red light for elements when on, ( have forgot to switch hot plate off while on low setting) no baking dish.my old oven a chef deluxe was much cheaper than new belling, had a timer, red light, plus 2 baking dishes, so for a expensive stove like Belling freestanding 54cm, pretty poor ...

Not powerful enough

published

Very average cooking experience. Purchased on in 2012 for a house I was living in for a few months before I sold. One thing I didn't realise until about a week after I used it. It cannot boil a large pot of water! It has 1.2 and 1.7kw elements which seem like it just wasn't enough. Water got hot - but I couldn't boil it which is really disappointing on such an expensive stove.

I was told to use a small pot instead by Belling.
I would have thought by spending this much money on a stove it should be able to boil water.

Marvellous Oven.

published

This is great. Cooks so quickly and evenly. I can put three things in large oven at the same time and they all cook beautifully. I can use both ovens when family are visiting. it doesn't get too hot in summer as the double glass keeps heat in. The ceramic cooktop heats quickly and cools quickly and is easy to clean. Im so glad I picked this oven.
Two ovens, fan forced, grill, ceramic cooktop, very sturdy build, easy clean, double glass doors.
No timer. When fan forced oven heats it is a little noisy for the first minute or two till it has heated.

unfortunatly the screen printed knob indiations come off and make the unit look very ordinary. Other then that, so far so good. We only used water, not any spray & wipe cleaner. Still comes off

Great Oven

published

I purchased the Belling oven after owning a Westinghouse ceramic top and having several problems with elements overheating .I love the double oven.Especially good for smaller meals and much less power usage in top oven.Ceramic top is easy to clean and oven looks great.Would recommend to singles, couples and smaller families.
Double oven, ceramic top and overall look
No clock, No light to indicate ceramic top is on or still too warm to touch, bottom oven quite low to the ground

Can't find paperwork for trouble shooting.
For the last few months the indicators to show temp level on induction top flash with an F on all 4 areas of hot plates. Sometimes out of the blue. How do I fix it? Obviously when this happens I can't cook. Gets frustrating.
Help!!!

Candice C.Belling

Hi Tracy.

This issue will require a service call to assess the encoders in the induction hob.

You can continue to reset the top (by turning off at the power, leaving it for a few seconds and then turning back on) however this is a short term solution. If the appliance is still under warranty ie within 24 months of purchase date, please call our office to log a request for warranty service. Alternatively, if outside of warranty we can assist with referring you to your nearest authorised service and spare parts supplier for further advise.

Our Customer Care team is available by phone 8.30am-5.00pm weekdays only (1300-556-816)
