Recommend a range cooker?

Does anyone have a range cooker they would recommend? My ideal would have 5 gas hobs really well spaced out and one of the two ovens at least 60cm wide. The space to fill is 110cm. (I know lots of people prefer stacked ovens now but I don't want to give up worktop space)

We have a 100cm Belling farmhouse range oven. Only had it 9 months but so far so good.

Yes I know but sometimes people have not evaluated the best alternatives. Why buy a range cooker when poster after poster says they have issues. They are style over substance and Smeg are totally guilty of this. Why not use your Miele cooker? How odd. I would recommend mine to anyone. It’s close to perfect but it was not cheap. I don’t see how having a wide induction hob with oven under loses work top either? Gas hobs are very unsteady and all that cleaning!!!
How do you know OP hasn't evaluated the alternatives? And lots of posters also said they didn't have issues, including me with our Belling. And no, gas hobs aren't unsteady and don't take much cleaning. Honestly, you sound a bit hysterical.

Second-hand Aga - if you're lucky you might get one with a gas hob.

A previous house came with a Rangemaster installed and I liked it at the time, and it converted me to range cooking. However, when we moved to our present house we redid the kitchen and I shopped around for another range cooker. I was just going to go for another Rangemaster but in the showroom I fell in love with a Falcon. It just feels so much more solid. The build quality is definitely better and the cooking is more even and reliable. Ours is a dual-fuel (gas hob, electric oven).

Super helpful again, thaks! I take your point on hobs, Percy, I don't actually need more than 4 well-spaced ones (but do often cook with 4). I'm looking at ranges because we have a space that size to fill.
