Hello all, unfortunately I need to buy a new cooker. The gap is cm where the old one is so my choice is much limited. I have a solid plate and quite fancy ceramic this time but all the ones I’ve seen in houses are scratched cracked or just show the rings through very quickly marked.budget isn’t large as then need an electrician to fit. Does anybody have any recommendations? None of the good brands do a 50 cm unfortunately. Does anybody have a which subscription that would help me out please? every time I think I’ve chosen one, I read some different reviews LOL. I think I’m down to Indesit or hisense Thankyou

Have a look on AO.com, they have a few. Do NOT get Beko, the floor of the oven we had stayed cold enough to put your hand on the bottom of the oven, even when it was full on!
I think our one is an Amica, I’ve had to change the oven element once (easy enough to do) but we’ve had it nearly 9 years now. I’ve never heard of Hisense, but my indesit dishwasher has lasted nearly a decade with no issues so I trust that as a brand.

Thankyou I hate my beko dishwasher and my washer didn’t last long when I had one of those so defo not one of those . The choice is very limited bush from Argos which is what I have , I won’t shop at Currys , marks electrical cheapest for the indesit , the armica is not heard of and dosnt have great reviews for longevity X def don’t want hotpoint , new world isn’t great and that’s about it apart from some random Amazon makes

Just resurrecting this thread as I need to get a 50cm electric cooker now too. I was wondering what you got in the end @hmums and whether you are happy with it? Or whether anyone else has recommendations?
Thanks!

I'm following with interest. I've had 2 gas cookers that are rubbish and if there is a decent electric one then I will swap over. I think we might be searching for a unicorn though unfortunately.

Thanks very much @hmums. It looks good. What brand is it, and are you happy with it?

hmums · 26/10/2026 16:55

oh sorry I did a great big long post and it didn’t load. It’s a Beko believe it or not fan of them at the bottom small oven at the top with a ceramic top and I put a silicon mat on the top to stop us breaking it, yeah I’m pleased with it. The oven door doesn’t stay open, but that could be my floor. It’s pretty small but then as you can see that’s all we can fit in and we use air fryers anyway really pleased with the ceramic hob which is really quick to heat up. Just don’t clean it when it’s hot. It does have some marks on it already but nothing too bad. My electrician recommended it as one that would fit.

What's the model number please @hmums? I'm glad you have found one. My gas oven is rubbish - the oven part is either on full or not at all and the smallest hob is boil on it's lowest setting!

Thanks so much @hmums thats really helpful, I was writing off Beko after the earlier comments, so now rethinking!

hmums · 26/10/2026 17:38

you’re very welcome. There isn’t much choice when you need 50 is there? I’m sorry it shows my dirty floor. I think I got it from AO with a code. I never buy anything without a code LOL.

Currys have quite a few 50cm, including Kenwood and Hotpoint.
