AIBU to want a purple cooker?

[Aethelfleda]

We’re going to get a new range cooker...and obviously this is a one off purchase for some years... my present cooker is a 20 year old wreck of a single oven so I’m v excited...

.... I’ve seen this fine beastie, it costs about the same amount as a Rangemaster, but has lots of bells and whistles, and more importantly exactly the hob setup I’d like (dual fuel with gas
hobs and a large hob at each end so I can do a bucket of eg chilli at one end and an equally big bucket of rice on the other. so many hobs only have one large one).
I really like purple... but will it impact hugely on my kitchen eg if we sell the house in a few years, like an avocado bath suite? AIBU to want a purple one?

its not always a given you will leave behind a cooker when you sell

I think if it would suit your kitchen it looks fine. I don’t think anybody would be put off by its colour if they were buying your house, it is perfectly easy to live with and if somebody really did not like it they will replace it.

It’s currently unavailable, so other folk must’ve liked them!

It's lovely

I think you should buy for you, for now, and not for what some future person may or may not like

That said, the kitchen needs to be styled pretty well for it not to look totally odd

As you might guess from my user name, too much purple is never enough!

AO have it, as do John Lewis

I have the same one but in black!!!

It’s definitely a bold choice, but if you like it, go for it. If you’re not thinking of selling - which presumably you’re not if you’re spending a lot on putting in a cooker - what’s the problem?

It’s not available? It’s ok though, it’s not an in yer face type of purple.

I don't like it, I think it looks like a dolls house cooker, however, it wouldn't stop me from buying a house with one in.

X post. I see that other retailers have it.

Looks fabulous

I’d make a bold choice like that in a home I was planning in staying in for a while.

I’d want to pull it out and get a new one if I was moving in. I hate the colour purple but I’d feel the same about any colour that wasn’t neutral to be honest.

I love it (although it is defo more berry than actual purple).

If it suits your kitchen, I’d get it. I like it. I assume maybe they can be resprayed maybe if someone doesn’t like it?

I though it was going bright purple but that's lovely - sure rangemaster so one that colour as well. I didn't consider it but wouldn't go with the kitchen I had planned.

My friend has a purple Aga and it looks lovey. It doesn't jump out as being out of place and works very well in the kitchen.

Unless an oven and hob are built-in, wouldn"t you usually take them with you if you move home?

But, to answer your question, if you did leave it, yes, I think it would definitely be something that could put buyers off. I haven't looked at the link as I detest purple with a vengeance so know I won't like it.

Each to their own. I wouldn’t buy it, but that means nothing if you like it.

YANBU to want one though.

Do it.
Although that one is out of stock, so either you have or someone else has beaten you to it.

I'd buy a house because of that purple cooker

Looks lovely! If purple is your thing, then why not?
