Stoves cooker reviews
Stoves cookers tend to achieve good to excellent scores in our tests for hob performance, but generally only achieve average scores for oven performance and ease of use.

When scoring cookers for ease of use we rate them on a wide variety of criteria, including how easy all the controls and settings are to use, how easy it is to load and unload the oven and grill, how easy it is to check the food while it’s cooking and how useful any special features are.
Not all Stoves cookers are the same. In our grilling tests, some models scored well and others poorly. Scores also range from good to poor for ease of cleaning.
If you’re considering buying a specific Stoves cooker, check how well it scores on a variety of criteria, by visiting our cooker test results.
As well as testing cookers in our lab, we also survey thousands of owners to find out whether they’ve had any problems with their cooker. Check out our cooker reliability page to find out how reliable Stoves cookers are.
