The best freestanding cookers have ovens that heat up quickly to the correct temperature, grills that make great toast, and hobs that rapidly heat your food or simmer gently.
But some of the freestanding cookers we test are at the other end of the scale. These terrible cookers are so bad that we've labelled then Don't Buys to help you avoid them when you're shopping.
When buying a freestanding cooker, you want a model that excels at the basics and won't cost a fortune to run. You might be tempted by a cooker at a bargain price, but if its oven, hob and grill aren't up to scratch, you could be wasting your money.
Finding a freestanding cooker that is good at all these jobs can be tricky, but our tests have uncovered some fabulous models that you'll be happy to trust your dinner to.
