Electric Cooker advice

I need a new one soon , my present one is on its way out ( been through two replacement elements , fan doesn't work, no light .)

I have a Zanussi Electolux at the moment , its ok but 16yo so the quality may have changed .

Are there any brands I should gravitate towards , and any that are absolute shit and should avoid .

I need :
59-60cm width
Electric only
I don't use the top of the double oven so a large oven+ grill would work
Ceramic or halogen hob (not induction my pans wouldn't work)

I know I need to take myself off to Currys and look at some IRL .
TIA

Any views on this one ?

I need under 59cm wide and has to be electric .

Are "Stoves" a good choice ?

I have a gas cooker, and it's a lot wider so can't advise on a specific product, but I would definitely check in store if you're buying something sonarrow. The last time I bought a 60cm cooker, I had to get rid of some baking tins because they wouldn't fit. The internal oven width is key.

I was thinking that about the width , would I fit any decent sized tins in?

Some of the online measurements say 59cm then when I look at the identical cooker on another site or sometimes even the same description, it says 60cm Confused

My cooker is 59cm with no leeway for an extra space .
I do like the "lid" on the Stoves mini range but I need to make sure I have height clearance .

I might just go for another Zanussi , I do want a bigger oven + grill rather than double oven that I won't use .

And there's the SD connection/collection issue . I'd need to get my old cooker to the front door , but would need to make sure the new one was correctly in situ .
