we just bought the Ilaria
http://www.pipinghotstoves.com/cookers-790-0.html

it looks great , is good value and the specs are what we need (attach a few radiators and heat the water) - all we need is it installing itself

I must post some pics of work in progress

I have to admit the Rangemaster was my favourite and it seems to be the preference on here too, so I reckon now it's just taking the jump into cutting up my worktop.

The OH is not really keen as we deliberately bought a 3m long worktop on purpose when installing the kitchen so that it was one length and looked smooth, and now I am trying to get him to chop it in half

Thanks for your help lovely peoples

if you've not already gone ahead and bought the Rangemaster .... (

)
My o/h had his heart set on the RM Classic in cream & brass ... about twice the price our Insurance was prepared to pay
(our New World range was flooded out, along with the rest of my kitchen a week before Christmas. Racing green & really "tinny" so we were actually quite pleased about that!)

When we finally got the ££ through, this lovely Belling Classic 100 came available at Comet, cream & brass & much better on the coffers!
Wok burner, 2 ovens, separate grill & drawer for the tins.
Its a pleasure to use, gas with electric ignition.
the oven lights stay on, so the cats can keep a better eye on the roast!!

Here, it is modelled by Sheba, who's 4th Birthday tea was the first thing cooked in it!

That is lovely. Unfortunately I am limited to elec only and 900 wide - a 1000 would be better but OH is not prepared to knock part of a wall out for me. I did ask already
