Disappointed, Oven cooking uneven and not hot enough
The gas hobbs and grill work as expected.
Oven temperature needs to be 10 degree higher than recommended for food, it cooks unevenly even having the tray with food right in front off fan. I should be able to cook with 2 trays in a fan forced oven but not possible. In between glass door hard to clean if you spill or drop food in between glas.
Cheaply made stove very thin metal used inside the oven which i believe contributes to the uneven cooking. This stove is just as bad as that made in China rubbish no quality here.

rtment and was made look like a fool for not knowing how to cook in the oven because of the uneven heated cooking. Was told if a service man comes out that i may have to pay for it if the oven works perfectly, well i just wonder how the service guy can check the oven without cooking a meal in it to see the disgraceful result? Never had a problem with my 20 year old fan forced westinghouse oven. No quality here anymore, Westinghouse is now as bad as all the other made in China low quality items we get swamped with in this country.

Cautiously optimistic
After cooking with LP gas for 30+ years I had to replace my Eurolec 5 burner all gas stove last month. After trolling through many customer reviews I was not confident about buying ANY brand but needed another stove quickly. Due to limited choice through the local suppliers and after speaking to a couple of gas plumbers, I chose Westinghouse because it was Australian made, so parts would be readily available. I prefer to support local businesses when I can - also, if something does go wrong I can discuss the problem face to face with the sup...Read more
plier. I settled on a dual fuel model (still LP gas) because some of the reviews for all-gas cookers were a bit hair-raising. First impression : pros - Good looking stove, although the quality of materials used was not as good as that of my old stove. Solid cast iron trivets which allow pots to sit anywhere on the hob without tipping. cons - Control knobs have no easily discernible markings to show whether the gas is on or off. There is a little raised area which is hard to see without 20/20 vision, so I placed a black dot with texta on the top of the knob (in the off position). Practical use : pros - Love the slide out griller, which works well. Fan forced oven cooks evenly and you can hardly hear the fan. cons - Manual timer stopped working the second day. Not a major disaster, but annoying. Burner control knobs have only 2 settings - high and low - nothing in between. There is not much difference between4 comments

Pretty good so far. Edit: downgrade to 3 stars
I'm probably jumping the gun writing a review so soon after purchase, but this cooker is great so far. It's not as solidly built as our old Omega but the electric oven works a treat and the gas top is a solid performer. The clear front glass means its easy to see inside the oven and the separate grill is handy.
After a year or two use have downgraded due to uneven oven cooking and temp and food getting stuck in the vents at the top rear.
