This cooker is so good I had to write a review. After trying 3 other cookers over a period of time I finally found one that is well built, beautifully designed and actually works efficiently. I cannot recommend this cooker highly enough. It cooks everything perfectly on the stove top, in the ovens and the grill. Show details

Looks are where the love ends – So beautiful. Cinnamon colour - a real central feature in the kitchen that is the envy of friends & family. Side opening doors - love them. Hate the ovens. 1) I waited 18 months for delivery from England. I paid $9000 on sale for this beautiful stove (not counting the $3000 to install the LPG gas system) and yet I cannot cook a turkey bigger… Read more

than 6 kilos 2) ovens are so small, I can't use my traditional roasting pans for large roasts or Turkey 3) Flame is in the back, not below the 'floors' of the ovens, so heat comes up the back and I have to keep turning the pans to get all sides cooked evenly and keep the back from burning 4) temperature varies on the ovens every time I use them so forget baking a cake 5) I've only had it for 3 years & the uprights on 2 of the adjustment handles have broken and most of the time I can't get the electric grill to heat

I have used gas ovens for 50+ years and I have had more burned food in this oven in 3 yrs than the other 47 years combined

buyer beware – I purchased this cooker after seeing it in Winnings. The model was just what I wanted . 2 ovens ,grill. The model I ended up with has only a small steam oven and a small multi oven . I had 2 Miele ovens previously . I cook a lot for many people. I assumed (wrongly)that the steam was an option not the only function . I had never used the steam om… Read more

my Miele and have no use for this function .I was never told that one oven was ONLY a steam oven. So I am left with a very expensive small oven . I cooked a pie in the multi oven and the pastry was unevenly cooked. Andi-co have been very unhelpful . If they had been in the least sympathetic or offered some help I would have purchased the correct model . They did not and when I replace the cooker it will be another brand . I also find the general fitout of the oven to be cheap . Very dissatisfied all around.

Looks good – Purchased in in May 2022, it took about 8 wks to get it. Installed in Oct 2022(remodel). Thought there was a learning curve due to a different quality oven. Nope. By Christmas the oven wasn't heating up on top and bottom element, on fan forced it was burning everything. Repair guy came out after 2 wks of Andi co trying to find someone. The repair… Read more

guy used my husband's Bench grinder to "make" a tool to adjust the thermostat. The top and bottom element selection seemed to work, still burned everything on fan forced. Got tired of that after 5 months. Called in, was told you have to buy a thermometer to put in the oven and record the temps before we can do anything. Couldn't get one in the town, had to go to Canberra over 100km away, didn't want to spend the fuel for a special trip so another 6 wks went by, got the thermometer and set fan forced to 180, turned it off when the oven hit 230 and still climbing. Sent a different guy out to replace the thermostat, but had to wait until he got the part, about 2 wks. Now I've been using the oven for 13 months and the ignitors on the stove top don't work most of the time. Called in 11 days ago and haven't heard anything. Finally today I have got Andi Co to allot the job to a local company we have had good results with. That company is coming out on Monday it's Friday afternoon, currently. So from 11 days to next business day-since I did all the work for Andi Co The oven looks good. A must for me was a door that wouldn't allow grease between the glass layers, it boggles my mind why anyone would make an oven door where you can stick a finger behind the glass in the oven, yes I found several like that. It has a self cleaning function, but you have to strip out all the racks and side rails. Supposedly the racks are diswasher safe, but they won't fit in a dishwasher, maybe a commercial diswasher. As with all racks they are a pain to try to get clean. The glass on the oven door only gets slightly warm to the touch, even during self cleaning. A good thing with children or in my case grandchildren. This oven is listed as a commercial oven, I assume for small businesses, I wouldn't use it in a busy kitchen. There is a wok ring & burner that has extra flames and works well, not as hot as a real wok burner, but not much does. It has 2 medium burners in the back and one small and one large along the front. When the ignitors work, the burners work fine. A big change for me was you have to hold the ignitor and count to ten to get the burner to stay on, my old oven burners weren't like that. The knobs are sturdy but hard to read, actually very hard to read. The oven holds 4 trays of Bikkies at a time or six round cake pans, maybe 8, but I haven't tried. It comes with 2 racks for the full size oven and a griller rack. I only keep the 2 racks in, and I remove one rack/shelf when cooking a roast. Much less clean up on the racks. There is a divider to make it a small oven, but it isn't a simple in and out so we haven't used it. There are smaller racks for the oven when the divider is in. You have to remove the divider component to use the self cleaning function. The review is not to be your decider, just my experience. We chose this oven based on reviews. I don't hold anyone but Falcon responsible for the problems we are having. There are lemons everywhere.

Capable all-in-one Induction stove + double oven – This is a British designed and built stove top and oven. The range features three cooking cavities – a separate electric glide-out grill and two fan forced electric ovens (one 60cm width and a tall oven). Plus 5 induction zones including residual heat indicators and pan detectors. The induction stove top is okay. It is not the best we looked… Read more

at and these were seperate induction tops. If we had to choose again, we would go with a separate induction top. There are compromises to be had with having a built-in induction cooktop. The heat control isn't very linear e.g. little difference in cooking heat from 2 to 5 on the setting. Also the cooking zones are on the small size and you cannot combine to create larger cooking zones as you can with, albeit, much more expensive induction tops.

Induction cooking takes a bit of time to get used to but this is temporary. The benefits of induction over gas or electric hob cooking make it worthwhile.

The twin ovens are the best aspect of this product. A standard 60cm oven for those large dishes is provided but the neat 'Tall' oven is the special feature of this product. It heats very quickly and is ideal for those small dishes that don't need a full size oven to cook or re-heat a dish or three. It is a real energy saver and is so logical. I don't know why other manufacturers do not include this in their ovens.

A couple of observations: the first is about the ovens. Why did Falcon deem the 60cm oven worthy of an oven light but not the tall oven? For an AUD$8,500 appliance (special offer price), one should expect a simple light given the production cost would be a dollar or two if not cents, to include and would make using the tall oven so much easier. Your are being a bit cheap Falcon!

The second observation is regarding the control knob graphics. Did anyone test these in real-world circumstances? Black setting/temperature graphics on a silver background. Result, hard to read. Especially in a low light / dimmed room. This is poor design. For such an expensive appliance, these should be LED backlit in the 2020's or at least best clarity.

Overall, these are minor issues. Nice to haves. Certainly, these minor issues should not dissuade you considering this appliance in your research but may influence your final decision. Would we buy a falcon all-in-one again? Maybe not.

Pros: • Induction is fast to heat and energy efficient to cook. Heat goes directly into the food. Not the room. • Induction is clean. No fumes. • Induction is very easy to keep clean after you cook. • 5 induction zones (3 large and 2 small) provide ample flexibility and capacity. • The twin ovens (standard and tall) are fan forced electric and both heat very quickly. • Flexibility of having two different sizes of oven. • The tall oven heats up very quickly and therefore ideal for fast cooking whilst saving energy. • Both have flexible shelving with removable easy to clean shelves. • Comes with a fast and flexible griller too. • Comes with roller wheels so is very easy to pull out to enable cleaning the floor. • All sections heat up very quickly so very convenient and energy efficient. • Solid looking. • The LED timer and clock is very easy to set up and use once you get the hang of it!

Cons: • Induction zones cannot be combined to create larger cooking zones. • Induction zones could ideally do with one very large zone and one long zone (this is a minor gripe). • The induction top doesn't have the best linear control of heat given the price point. • No option to turn off fans in the ovens (for dishes requiring non-fan-forced cooking). • No light in the tall oven. Why not? • The controls are hard to use due to poorly designed graphics.

Great range but! – Purchased this range back in 2014 at over $7000 My wife and I both agree that it is a great product,but with a little tweaking would be Excellent. We would probably buy again if we ever need to. Originaly went into store to purchase an Illve or the like. Was going to go gas but when salesman demonstrated induction for us we where sold.this range… Read more ·  1

has a great induction cook top heaps of room to work with the wife loves it as she is a very keen cook. The only improvement I feel is required to it is that the hob placement indicator lines are very difficult toes in dim lighting. We also would have licked to some how remove the top airflow slot grate so as to be able to clean down inside the manifold as you do get a lot of thing falling down in there and it ain't pretty.I am cheesed off with the quality of the plastic chrome plated Knob that are starting to peel as well as the flimsy plastic timer knob the broke off way to early. Surely for something that you pay so much money for they should be much improved. the ovens work really well and are very handy when catering for a large mob, though I will say that our top element Carked it after very very little use. I found that the door latches are not strong enough and ours paced it in after a few years I was able to repair mine but to have to call a tech to fix it would be annoying.My wife is constantly complaining about the griller, she feels it should have a raise and lower function The last complaint I have is that on a range that cost so much they could of at least put proper soft close draw slides on the bottom draw, as it is now it slides out and basically tilts and hits the floor. Over all we are fairly satisfied with this product, seven years in and it is still functioning well.Perhaps if the company reads this they could pass on the areas that need improvement and go on to produce a truly exceptional product.

I love my Stove! – The quality of a Falcon stove cannot be surpassed. I had another European stove before the Falcon but had a lot of trouble with it and had to pay $200 just to replace the broken oven hinges. I asked the repairman which oven to buy and he told me he never has to fix Falcon ovens. I have had my Falcon for 5 years and it's still like new. I love that… Read more ·  1

I have two ovens if I am cooking a huge a meal. The fan forced electric ovens are great - near fail to produce great baked goods and meals. I also love the large flat hotpalate you can use on the gas burners. It is great for steak, pancakes or a big breakfast fry up.

Love it. Have smile every time I enter the kitchen – I am very happy with the way it cooks Favourite feature is the way it keeps on the boil I had my cooker in time to boil the Christmas Pudding in the cloth I never had to top up the water and no water to wipe off the stove. The Grill I also thought was great better than BBQ and cleans up very easy, I am very very happy and word recommend induction cooking over GAS  Show details ·  1

great appliance – We've had ours for one and a half years. It is fantastic to use. Speed of cooking on the induction tops is amazing. Although I've had to watch the hotplates cutting off unexpectedly. Contacted the distributor and dealt with speedy service. I would recommend this brand on quality and warranty service

Love it! – Apart from the fact that I can't find the instructions on how to make the grill light on both sides, this is a fantastic cooker. So far it is easy to keep clean and having two separate ovens is so handy.

reliable and simple – I've always had a gas hotplate and was a little worried about how an induction cook top would compare. I've had my Falcon for three months now and I'm pretty happy with it. The induction cook top heats up quite quickly and is so easy to keep clean. Both ovens seem to have a consistent heat and everything I've cooked in them has turned out. It… Read more

hasn't got all the bells and whistles that other ovens have but it's easy to use and I like that when I'm cooking - reliability is more important to me and I think I have that with the Falcon. Happy to recommend it. Easy to use, reliable and easy to keep clean
