Indesit KD3C1WG

Technical Details: 58 litres, 4 Zone Ceramic Hob, Light in Oven

Features: Energy Rating: B, Height 900 - Width 500 - Depth 600 mm

Pros: Ceramic hob can stain over time if not well maintained, but is easy to clean if you keep of top of spills. The controls are well laid out, few in number, and will not take too long to get the hang of. The hobs also have the usual lighting safety feature of declaring which are still on, which still warm and those off. Some cookers include hobs which are not so clear, and can lead to burns accidents or worse. Both ovens have a glass door for viewing and an interior light in the bottom oven to make it even easier to view your meal.

Cons: Slim design is ideal for small spaces, but also means making a Sunday dinner for five is out of the window. In dark kitchens the numbers on the controls can be difficult to see, over time as the wear and text worn the problem is exasperated. We have read varying reports of the construction quality, of course isolated faulty units are always the case, but reports of hob rings being out of line are worrisome. And that markings the ceramic hob surface is far too easy. Due to size constraints the grill/top oven only has one shelf level, whereas in standard cookers you can have between two and three different levels to grill at variant speeds.

Verdict: A standard oven with little to recommend it, the energy rating of B indicates this is a run of the mill appliance. Will most likely provide years of service, although we have read reports that the overall build quality is less than satisfactory.
