Belling Richmond Deluxe 110cm Dual Fuel Range BRD1100DF

We paid nearly 9k for this stove which my wife had her heart set on as part of the kitchen renovations. I had my doubts that it would live up to the price point. Well we have had it for two years now and what a weapon. Its accurate temperature controls are something to behold. No more burnt bottoms to the jam and pickle cooking. The trivets are… Read more ·  1

super solid cast iron reminiscent of commercial trivets.

Unlike every other stove top I have seen or used, the stove top has the largest burners at the front rather than the back, where you would use it most. Just logical. In summation.

There are four electric oven configurations with a divider for one and a grill for another with fan force and element options. Uses a whopping 32 Amps at full bore. Even has a bread proofer setting for the oven which is spot on accurate.

Worth every penny we paid and super happy with its style, quality build and perfect performance. Highly recommended

A bit disappointed – I agree with some of the other people here. I was so excited to have this stove and it’s great to have all those ovens. But, the doors have a lot of rust and where the handles are is the worst. I don’t know who designed them, but they are a trap for moisture and grime. Next is the main gas burner and wok burner - it’s weak and I have never been… Read more

able to successfully stir fry using this cooktop Also the rubber feet that hold up the trivet things fell off in about the first week. Oh yes, the plastic dials - they are poor quality and the numbers just wear off.

Pretty! – Edit Country now has people that do not have to come from Adelaide and as usual the belling support have been great. After a few months use l, the grill blew the circuit breaker. The bottom left oven is 50degrees out and turned power off to left side and clock. The right side worked. Came back on all by itself within 10 minutes. They've never… Read more ·  5

heard of happening but I did read on here the same thing happened to a lady. The back left burner does not turn down as much as the other of that size. As others have stated the plastic is coming off the knobs will only be a hassle on the oven control knobs though. Living in the country 2 weeks on and they have yet to find a technician. Please be careful if you do not live in the cities. They have been very pleasant to deal with though.

Purchase this some months ago now. Used all the ovens. Love it. Like that I can cook all the ovens at the same time if I want to at different temperatures. Plenty of space on the top for multple pots and Pans. Have not used the auto on off yet Cant seem to get my pastry right yet though. (turns out temp was not accurate) Oven came missing a door locking pin. Contacted belling direct and the lady was very helpful (both actually I ended up having to email photo of what was missing) received a new one new by courier within about 3 days to country SA Only thing the Deluxe only comes with one telescopic runner for the 3 ovens unlike the Richmond and the wok Burner can not be Turned to one ring of flame as the book states. And its very pretty lol

Great oven but – We bought this oven earlier this year and had it installed as part of our kitchen renovation in August. I had been dreaming about owning a Belling oven for years so was super excited to finally be able to buy one. I do love it. The 7 (well 6, read below) hobs get a great workout and I have used multiple oven compartments at one time which has… Read more

been a game changer. I really love the extra space and have noticed cooking times have reduced compared to my last oven. Everything cooks evenly plus it looks beautiful in our new kitchen.

But....

The manual is a bit hit and miss. Trying to figure out how to use certain functions takes lots of head scratching, fingers crossing and hoping for the best.

Also the after sales support is pretty ordinary. A knob fell off after about 6 weeks post installation for my favourite hob (yes, we all have one!) and it wouldn't go back on. Trying to get this replaced has been interesting and really time consuming. Waiting on hold for indeterminate lengths of time, taking the option to receive a callback (still waiting for that too...), emails taking days to be responded to, being sent the incorrect part a month later and I am sure the list will go on before I am cooking on 7 hobs again.

So while we wait impatiently for our issue to be resolved, I can honestly say buy the Belling. You'll love it. Just pray hard you don't need to contact their customer care for any issues because you'll start to regret not spending a little more for a Smeg.

Beautifull stove ,still dodgy knobs – Have just taken delivery of new model richmond deluxe 1100 df. It is still in delivery carton awaiting a kitchen reno, checking it out, firstly was impressed, new colour, beautiful match for the coming kitchen, then noticed the plastic metal peeling of the back of one of the knobs, the part which depicts what setting is selected, so when it's gone… Read more ·  1

there is no way of knowing the setting. Now the spec download on this new model even says "premium knobs". I phoned supplier immediately and have been assured they will send a replacement, much appreciated. My point is how long do they expect these knob to last? And secondly why oh why build a great looking stove and put knobs of this poor quality on it? Surely Belling must realise this continuing problem must lose them sales. Merely saying premium knobs on new model wont fix the problem. Lip service only works for so long. Might one suggest belling source a quality set of knobs befitting a stove like this, and let's face it, of considerable financial outlay, and retro fit them. Your customers deserve the quality they are paying for.
