£12,995 for that!

[IgnoreMeEveryOtherReindeerDoes]

AIBU that £12,995 for a cooker is just ridiculous as it doesn't even self clean or am I more AIBU to start a completely pointless thread because I'm having the life sucked out of me hoping some one will answer my really boring thread about glasses.

I think our AGA was about that much. But it'll still be going long after I've popped my clogs and it dries my washing, heats the house and is a dream to cook on.
My car cost £900 - some people spend a lot on cars, for me it's a cooker.

We bought one like that secondhand £150, you do have to light the gas with a flame but it's bloody solid

To the disappointed PP, I've always had Mercury envy.

Does 'cook for survival' mean you only eat to live or that you wouldn't survive without cooking? If the latter, buy it, if the former a two ring hob should do.

I've got that exact cooker - I love it, worth every penny - although I seem to think mine was more 8.000, which is still a huge amount I know.

I don't find that too expensive for that beast. It is gorgeous.
I also have an Aga and I love her. Used only for cooking. Gas boiler for everything else. I wouldn't cook on anything else now.

We bought our house with an Aga. I love it so much (after panicking I'd hate it when the sale was going through). Had a browse in the local Aga shop a couple of years ago and was shocked to see that it was 12-14k

That's as big as my kitchen! I can't find a thread about glasses to answer OP??

I love my falcon deluxe.

3k - 13 years ago. Still looks lovely but needs a bit of work on the doors. I expect it to last another 20 years.

Our kitchen is shite, but the cooker draws the eye away from it, like sleek Melania draws the eye away from her crumpled windbag of a husband.

Meant to say op - that red cooker is glorious!

I have a multi oven that cost less than £1000. It's a pizza oven, you can spit roast etc etc. People thought that was an extravagance! This strikes me as a show piece and not something that it's owner would actually use.

Thats crazy Friend has new very nice range cooker for £18000

howabout I am with you on the eye level grill, a gas one is on my wish list, Grills that aren't easy to watch just don't make sense to me.

Our AGA is also the heating for the kitchen and the breakfast room. It's an old farmhouse, it's had a range in here for the last few hundred years, it would look a bit bloody odd with a trendy electric one! AGAs are expensive but they last a lot longer than anything else.

Just get a 'Stoves ' cooker - they are big and fierce and look great in your kitchen ! They do not cost that much either ....

and all the replies I so didn't expect that. My new shiny oven cost just over £400, it cooks the food what more can I say. I cook for survival not for fun. If ever I did have 10k I would hirer a personal chef.

@Happy you deserve a for noticing my only real reason for starting thread here it is

@Minifingerz it is and the colour would of matched the kettle, toaster and coffee machine. If I ever get that lottery dream home you can come round for dinner and watch my chef use it.

Considering the number of Knobs on that cooker it isn't for the average home or cool. Must have an awful lot of burners, hot plates, griddle let alone ovens.

It's a whopper ! Imagine cleaning it ! I cook for three fussy bloody ungrateful kids so it would probably be better spent on takeaways....

If you are spending £13k on a cooker, you aren't doing your own cleaning...

You dont need to clean them!! They get so hot any fat/gravy/drips just burn off! I have never cleaned mine!

Sparechange. Or alternatively - if you have spent £13000 on a new cooker (as I might) you can no longer afford a cleaner?

£!0k (feels faint...)

It would take up so much space in my kitchen I. wouldn't have room for the £20k fridge.
