to fido and Xanx22
Hi Fido, Im sorry to hear that your ceramic hob cracked... did you get it fixed? I like the look of the spiral ring elements, my parents had a hotpoint electric cooker in the early 80s and that was a good cooker!
Hi Xanx22, My neighbour had a Jackson Topline and it was a very stylish cooker, she had it from new and did say that at the time it was very expensive, but it was still going strong!
I liked the Belling format slide in cooker in the early 80s, I wanted my parents to get one when they got a new kitchen but it was a bit too much money at the time. I loved the styling of them and still think they look way better than the newer versions and like you say the build quality would have been far superior!
Thanks for your replies ;-)
