Also posted in products but fairly new to posting on MN and not sure where I'd get more of a response...also not sure if posting twice is a faux pas or not, but apologies if it is.
I hate being so indecisive. Due to revamp our kitchen soon and I like the look of this one, www.thekitchenappliancestore.co.uk/product.php?xPr od=6831 but I would love to have any opinions from anyone who has one.
Also, I really like the gunmetal colour but not sure what hood would then go with it?
Can anyone give me their pros and cons of the toledo, pretty please
Oh and can anyone tell me the differences between the toledo 90 and professional 90? Cheers

Don't have the toledo but got the professional plus in the autumn and am very pleased with it. At previous house had Rangemaster classic and regretted leaving it as the Aga masterchef we then got with new house was rubbish and when several things on it went it had to go, which i was glad about because i hated it. Have a look at www.cookersandovens.co.uk they deal direct with rangemaster and I got the best price on the net through them. Fitting team were absolutely excellent and they cleaned up after themselves!!

oh dear, I thought I'd written a reply earlier. Must have pressed the preview option by mistake.
Thanks for your reply, and for the website. I'm going to have a look now.
I'm trying to work out what the differences are between the toledo and the professional but can't quite tell!
Has anyone got any thoughts on if it's important to have a matching brand hood? Or is a hood a hood?

Have you seen one in the flesh? I was dead set on the toledo 90- have been after one for years (mum, sis and best friend all love theirs) ...until I realised how low the main oven is. I decided my back wasn't up to it and went for a high level double oven instead.

I have the toledo 90 in gunmetal. I have a 90cm glass and stainless hood with a glass splashback . My Kitchen Supplier sourced the hood. Rangemaster do their own hoods and fans but I decided on a Luxair LA90 from luxairhoods.com.

Thanks for the replies. Nope, haven't seen one in the flesh yet, trying to find somewhere locally that has them on display. Proving tricky! Our current oven is a very old range style cooker, both sides are low so I don't think that'd be a problem.
Tibni, thanks for the link to your hood. Off to look now

I have the toledo induction 110 but can't say too much as only just got and as kitchen not finished have only used oven but love the look of it.

I can second the luxair hood, rangemaster were so expensive and the luxair one is great!!! Some lovely styles

We have a black Toledo 110 that runs on natural gas with an electric hotplate for keeping things warm at the side.

Its a rented house and we haven't had a range cooker before but have cooked on gas. I use the hob and oven every day. It works fine but not noticeably better than far cheaper gas cookers I have had.
