Belling vs Creda Cookers

Belling and Creda both offer cookers aimed at value-conscious buyers who still want good cooking space. Belling's models are the FARMHOUSE60DFBLK dual fuel cooker with a gas hob at £799, the FARMHOUSE60EBLK electric cooker with ceramic hob at £799 and the MRAFHOUSE60 double ovens at £649. Creda's line-up is smaller, with the C100RCDFTBL 100cm dual fuel range cooker at £1,199 and the C80BISMFTCBL 80 litre built-in black oven at £329.

The Creda C100RCDFTBL is the larger and more feature-rich model, with a true fan oven, back to black glass, a splashback and a high-power wok burner. It combines a gas hob with electric ovens, and at 100cm wide it gives far more hob space than a 60cm cooker. Belling's FARMHOUSE60DFBLK matches this dual fuel format at 60cm, with 65 litres in the main oven and 37 litres in the second. The MRAFHOUSE60 double ovens add an AirFry mode and four ceramic zones. The C80BISMFTCBL is a built-in oven, so it needs a separate hob, but its 80 litre cavity is 15 litres larger than the Belling main oven.

Belling suits smaller kitchens and households that want a standard-width cooker with a hob included. The FARMHOUSE60 range fits a conventional 60cm space. Creda suits large families and keen cooks with room for a 100cm range cooker, especially those who want dual fuel cooking. Dual fuel requires both gas and electrical connections, so check your existing supply before ordering. The C100RCDFTBL costs £400 more than the FARMHOUSE60DFBLK.

Bottom line: choose Belling if you want a 60cm dual fuel or electric cooker with a hob included, such as the FARMHOUSE60DFBLK at £799, and choose Creda if you need a 100cm dual fuel range cooker with a wok burner, such as the C100RCDFTBL at £1,199.
