Purchased a Rangemaster Classic 60. Wish I hadn't
Purchased a Rangemaster Classic 60 induction hob cooker. Delivered early January from AO and was well pleased with the service and the cooker. Took some time having changed over from Lpg hob to induction and all seemed well. Cooker comes with 2 year warranty which was encouraging and made us feel confident in the brand. That's as good as it got. In July switched on the hob and the trip to the house went. On investigation appeared the hob had failed. Contacted Pacifica who handle warranty repairs for most brands of cooker in fact pretty much all types of white goods and cookers. Appointment made.....takes a week for an engineer to turn up. When Chris did get here was very helpful but had only come to investigate the fault then disappeared into the mire and did not return untill Tuesday 11th of August so approx 3 to 4 weeks. Turned up with a new circuit board which I priced up at approx £400 once I got the part no off it. Appears most parts of this cooker are outsourced and only bit Rangemaster is the badge and cream colour. Think you could get a black one called something else much cheaper but same 'under the bonnet' So a Rangemaster Classic 60 only lasted 6 months, is only a Rangemaster in name, if it fails be prepared to be without a hob for a month and if at the end of the 2 year warranty you haven't binned it get extended warranty or you will be shocked at the cost of repair.
