Smeg SUK62CMX5 review
http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/kitchen/reviews/freestanding-cookers/smeg-suk62cmx5/review/
The freestanding Smeg SUK62CMX5 electric cooker has two cooking cavities and a handy flexible cooking zone on its hob, which can be extended from the size of a regular hob ring to accommodate larger pots and pans. We tested this electric cooker in our labs to see how well it performed.

Help
Fuel type
Whether the cooker is powered by gas, electricity or both. Some people prefer the flexibility a gas hob and electric oven offer.
Oven type
Whether the cooker has one oven cavity or two. Cookers with two ovens will usually offer more flexibility and space to cook with. Some single ovens will come with a very large cooking space.
Fan oven
Cookers with oven fans are usually better at distributing heat around the oven, heat up quickly and reduce cooking times.
Multifunction oven
Whether the cooker has a multifunction oven that offers fan, grill and conventional oven cooking ability
Grill type
The type of grill the cooker has, some have a cavity all to themselves, others are built into the upper oven.
Hob type
Whether the hob is electric ceramic, electric plate, gas or induction
Cooker width (cm)
Four-ring freestanding cookers come in four standard widths, 50cm, 55cm and 60cm. Actual measurements show that some cookers are about 5mm wider, but should still fit into standard sized gaps. The measurement given here is the standard width of the cooker, rather than the exact width measurement.
Self-cleaning
Cookers can come with catayltic liners that absorb splashes, pyrolytic programs that burn of food spills at very high temperatures or conventional linings that need to be cleaned manually
Colour
Cookers usually come in more than one colour, so if you're looking for a black oven but we only have the stainless steel, check with the manufacturer.
