Indesit FI31

Finish & value for money

simple uncluttered design

difficult to see the indicator mark on the hob controls. Noisy fan.

The hobs get hot really quickley but also reacts quickley when you turn it down.and it fits nice and flush in the work surface and looks good.

The knobs on the side could do with a thin band of colour on the top of the knobs so you know you have turned them off instead of having to take a second look to make sure.

Simple to use Modern design Easy to fit The hob is easy to keep clean

Grill tray has already bent and only after a weeks use and has scratched the insides of the oven Performance is average as it does take a bit of time to get to the right temperature

Very good value for money. Very easy to use. The oven heats up quickly and the hobs are very respnsive for electric.

Very basic, no automatic timing features. As it only has one oven section you cannot grill at the same time as using the oven.

solid built

door fitting not too good

not too expensive, easy to fit (we did it ourselves) cooks well looks good too

After having an oven that took 30 mins to heat up and a broken grill for the last 2 years, this is wonderful as it only takes minutes to heat and cooks things in the time it should. It is very simple but brilliant.

The grill cuts out when it gets hot which is rather frustrating and seems to take a long time to cook things.

Simple to use,easy to install

Badly burnt and stained around fan oulets and handle after only 1 weeks use. Indesit engineer inspected oven and advised that we should have bought a stainless steel one!! Bad communication with Indesit,still have original product purchased. Would not purchase an Indesit again.

easy to clean and and easy to use. looks greatg

nothing

Unit is already becoming discoloured through heat escaping through door.

easy to use looks nice.

controls on hob can get sticky and hard to clean as no physical barrier to divert spills from pans.

Heats quickly and seems to very efficient. We only used it for the first time last week so it's difficult to be very specific. Anser on performance is blank for that reason.

None so far.

Easy to use and to clean

Took a while to suss out how to use the grill, instructions were a bit vague.

it has no grill pan and the way your supposed to grill is not very good

quite noisy, has no tray on top of the drip tray for grilling, how are you meant to grill sausages on one of the shelves - it doesn't work.

faster cooking times, heats up very quickly. easy to keep clean

grill does not come up to expectations

cannot fault the overall usage of my oven, would recomend to any one on the look-out for a new appliance

Easy and clean design

keeps ticking even a few minutes after the time clock finished

Good oven, with a clean design

Simple & easy to use

Lack of a grill pan - it's a bit mean & tight to sell an oven AND grill then charge extra for a pan!!!!

Lovely design and great performance for the price

No LCD display (not essential I know, but handy). Also, grill pan is annoying as it's really just a drip pan under the top rack. But grill pans aren't expensive so it's hardly the worst!

it was good value for money, it looks good and it heats quickly, cools down quickly and the light stays on till it cools down completely, which is good when you have children. The oven is really good as well food is cooked perfect, and quickly.

no bad points

Good Product

Really easy to use - nothing complicated at all Good, even cooking

Sometimes turn oven to Grill setting rather than the max temperature because they're a bit close together.

Blends wonderfully in my kitchen. MUCH better than my old gas oven.Couldn't wait to get an electric one!

Really great! Terrific to use. A pleasure to cook now.

Big glass door, useful to check on what's cooking

The timer and temperature gauge are difficult to set accurately making it difficult to get the exact temperature

does the job...eventually

I had to adjust all my cooking times as everything seems to need longer than stated for fan assisted oven on food packaging. It also needs to be preheated which was'nt an issue with my previous oven.

Looks good and is very easy to use

None so far!

simple and easy to use.

can't think of any

Simple operation - very easy to install. Looks good. Timer means you don't have to remember what time you put the food in or check as often.

Grill does not get hot enough to toast bread before drying it out

As an oven it is easy to use, gets to the temperature quicky and cooks well

The gill, even at maximum, does not seems to be powerful enough as it spends far more time off rather than on and cooks very slowly

i bought this cooker for my mother who wanted an easy oven to use. she is very pleased and it meets all her needs.easy to clean and no gimmicks to complicate usage.

very very easy to use. no fancy buttons that you never use. simple but very effective. great value for money. why pay more.

Easy to use and well worth the money

none really you get what you pay for this is a basic simple to use oven for a nice affordable price

Nice size oven. Easy to use, Heats up very quickly.

Because the oven capacity is larger there is no room for the gas piping to the hob above. This has meant the oven had to be installed lower down. Other ovens have a cut out at the back to allow for this. The door hinges rock from side to side leaving a gap either on the right or left side of the door.

Easy to use, sleek exterior, reasonable price, easy to install.

in comparison to the oven this replaced (which had same overall dimensions) oven space is slightly smaller, which is not a great problem. When cooking at an average heat of 180deg, in order to cook well it has to be put up to 200-220deg, which shouldn't really be necessary being a fan assisted oven. Grill element s quite small for its purpose (approx third smaller than a normal full grill) meaning that because the grill element is not big enough (only comfortably grills 4 rashers back bacon at one time - previous grill accommodated 6-8 rashers), food can only be put in the centre of the grill pan so cannot be used to full capacity..........if grill pan is full - all items don't cook at same time. Not really suitable for family cooking

Very simple to use a great basic oven and grill. Timer is a good reminder.

Wish timer knocked oven off. But is still handy for a reminder.

good vfm product . More or less does what it says.

Grilling area quite poor - only can use approx. 50% of the area available due to the size of the element.

very easy to use and clean

hard to clean under the hob controls

the controls are logically lade out and very easy to use .the speed of ceramic hob and control of the heat makes it a joy to use .

to be careful the glass door of the oven gets very hot. watch if there are children about.

simple to install and use

Heats up very quickly. Easy to keep clean.

everything

no grill tray

I was fed up of electrical items breaking in my home so this time I decided to buy a cheaper fan oven with no gadgets. It is briliant! Looks good, the fan is nice and quiet and it does the job perfectly.

I think this is a great oven, fast to heat up, and feels really powerful especially when compared with my previous oven. Cant comment on the grill as i dont really use this though!

easy to operate

Cheap and does the job.

basic, no frills eg. timer

grill sign on right knob confusing

Easy to use and great value for money. Also easy to install, just plugs into 13 amp socket.

None yet identified, may lack some refinements but for the price very good.

easy to use and warms up very quick

hob hard to clean

Easy to install and quick to use. Attractive looking and excellent price.

Hard to get the temperature exactly right using dial. However, trial and error means you suceed.

cheap

performance not as good as model replaced

Simple to use and quick - once you are used to it.

Turning on the grill - the control for the oven and grill are very close together and I sometimes had on the oven instead of hte grill.

easy to use. very efficeint.

control knobs not easy to see what position they are in

Grill very small and the oven does not heat all over at the same time - very uneven heat

easy to fit and excellent value upto now

like it. easy to use and easy to put in.

none that i can think of

Good looking and easy to use.

No proper grill pan

Easy to Use

The grill pan had no grate...just the pan, so you couldn't grill and have the meat drain of fat(if you know what I mean) So I am trying to source one that will fit the pan, which is difficult.

warms up quickly cooks food quickly

The timer bell doesn't ring for long enough or loud enough. It is easy to miss it. Not a major problem because we don't usually have to use it.

easy to install.cooks evenly with fan.easy to use-even my hubby can use it as you have to turn temperature dial to turn oven on.

outside shows marks as steel finish.not very good grill-more of a shelf with drip tray underneath.

The hob and oven are easy to clean and the oven heats up very quickly.

I grill a lot of food and a seperate grill would have been useful.

Great value for money. Heats up quickly. Easy to use.

No digital clock

Heats up quickly, easy to use

No electronic timer or clock

simplicity of use and easy installation. Good overall finish and well packaged,

Instructions are, 'interesting'.

The grill is very weak the oven is fine but grill is not fast enough x

The grill is slow

looks good

Very cheap- plugs straight in using a 13 amp plug. 2 shelves and a drip tray provided when many ovens in this price range only have one shelf. Heats up pretty quickly.

No grill pan. Luckily I kept the one from my old oven.

No good points really to report, just a standard oven with on / off controls.

Noisy, no features, not particularly nice to look at, certainly not good value for money and not what we were expecting. If we had looked at it before we bought it online we would not have bought it. Can't wait to replace it, hope it doesn't last very long.

The controls are simple to use as there are no complicated features, the moulded shelf supports and slide out baking tray make the oven easy to clean . Shelf level is easy to change . the oven was very easy to fit and was working within 10 minutes.

This particular oven gets hotter on the left so have to be careful while baking. would have found a grill wire to sit in the pan very helpful.

Easy to install and easy to use

Easy to Install, Very Reasonable

I think would have looked better without the black handle, but that is just a personal preference !!

Ease of installation looks nice, good value for money, simple to use.

cooling fan noisy after oven switched off.

easy to use, includes timer.

dislike oven and grill combination.

I bought this for my son and his wife and they are over the moon with it. It is easily kept clean and they are very pleased with the overall workings of it.

You should give a small sample of cleaning fluid with everyone you sell. Not everyone is sure of what to use for the best results as not everyone has had experience using a ceramic hob.

Fan oven lots of room inside, easy clean.

Timer doesn't go for very long so easy to miss. Temperature doesn't have a 200 which most things seem to cook at.

Asy to clean and stylish

Didn't work out that you need the grill on maximum to work with the oven until read manual. Didn't relaise the ceramic hob had stanless steel rim - would be better black.

Straightforward and easy to use

i'm happy with the product

no bad points

Really good product and looks good. Very happy with it

Heats up quickly. Cooks evenly.

It's timer is a little basic and not particularly loud. The oven fan keeps going for a reasonably long time after it has been switched off.

For the price i paid,its good value

Sleek, stylish, easy to use, has all the required functions & was excellent value for money!

Its not self cleaning!

Easy to use and cooks the food very quickly.

simplicity, speed of heating, bigish window

shelf positions down allow you to use the full height of the inside of the oven

simple to use

Simple to use

Switche for the grill, looks to be in a on position, when it is in fact turned off.

LOOKS GOOD FOR A REASONABLE PRICE.

NOTHING YET.

easy to use

none so far

Easy to install

Needs a clock, defrost does not work well

Great price, does what it's supposed to do.

The grilling area could do with being a little larger

looks good, works well, no problems using it , fitting easy,

a bit small for an oven, but big enough for me
