Looking for a kitchen cooker with specific requirements... need help!

Howdy doody people,

i'll cut to the chase - im in need of a new cooker with the following specs:
- has to be gas
- has to have width-depth dimensions of 60cmx60cm
- must have a double oven
- cant be over £500
- cant have a top lid
- cant be cheap looking, must have some style

can anyone help or point me in the right direction as to where to look online? i tried a few kitchenware shops over the weekend and to be honest there wasnt much choice in that area with the above specification. i need to make a decision by the weekend as its holding up a move in!

thanks in advance guys (and gals!)

I'd suggest starting at John Lewis for a decent selection.

Failing that, it'll be going out and about to try and find something you like

dont think you can mention those here but they were the first places i looked. in all i think they only had 3 cookers that were 60x60 and all had lids :-/

The issue with the lid is that the units get in the way so doesnt allow it to open properly

Biasco

They are consistently the cheapest I can find, and their range is rinkydiculous.

now thats what im talkin' about!

does anyone know if the cookers that have lids on them, are they detachable (easily) ? can they be removed and you not know whether they had them on or not in the first place? I definitely like the look of the stainless steel ones by electrolux and zanussi but they all have lids

I always find that buying appliances is a touchy feely experience. I tend to go to the shops and decide which brand / model I want and then order it on line for the cheepest price. froogle is usually pretty good at finding the cheapest supplier for a specific model

Ended up buying the Electrolux EKG6047XN

....for £518 from The Appliance Warehouse (bargain!)

the only niggle is that although the knobs look as though theyre made from metal... theyre actually plastic - gargh!
