Altimo vs Blomberg Cookers

Altimo and Blomberg both offer affordable cookers, but they differ on fuel type. Altimo's listings are electric: the CETC502W 50cm twin cavity cooker at £289, and the CEDC602W (white) and CEDC602B (black) 60cm double oven cookers with ceramic hobs at £349 each. Blomberg offers the ROEN9202DX at £329.99, the GGS9151W 50cm freestanding gas single oven cooker at £440 and the GGRN655W 60cm gas cooker in white at £539.99.

Altimo's double oven cookers give you two separate cavities, so you can roast in the main oven while grilling or warming in the top one, which is ideal for family meals and Sunday roasts. The ceramic hob is flat, easy to wipe clean and works without a gas supply. Blomberg's gas cookers offer the instant, visible heat control many cooks prefer for searing, stir-frying and simmering, and gas is typically cheaper per unit of energy than electricity. The GGS9151W suits narrower 50cm spaces, while the GGRN655W is a full-width 60cm model.

Your fuel supply largely decides it. Homes without gas, or buyers who want an easy-clean flat hob and two ovens on a budget, will find Altimo excellent value: a 60cm double oven cooker for £349 undercuts Blomberg's gas models by up to £190. Homes with a gas connection and cooks who prefer flame control will appreciate Blomberg's gas cookers, especially the 60cm GGRN655W for larger kitchens. Altimo's 50cm CETC502W is the cheapest option for compact kitchens.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want an electric double oven cooker at a low price, with the CEDC602W or CEDC602B 60cm at £349 as the best value. Opt for Blomberg if you have gas and prefer flame cooking, with the GGRN655W 60cm at £539.99 or the 50cm GGS9151W at £440.
