Fisher & Paykel stove, any good?

[expat]

We are about to do a kitchen reno, our kitchen is small and we would prefer to have a smaller stove (24")
We were considering a separate Cook top and wall Oven, as we prefer a Gas Top and Electric Oven, until we saw a F&P 'Duel fuel' stove. It seems to be just what we are looking for, except I know nothing about Fisher and Paykel.
I understand the brand is popular in Australia (being a NZ company). I look forward to any feedback.
Thanks.

I would go to FIxitnow.com and ask the appliance samari

He has some funny sayings for many brands


Appears to be on the not recommended list LOL

While most national brand of stoves/ranges quality-wise is so-so, but most imported home appliances, such as Braun/Fisher & Paykel and even Samsung/LG stoves/washers/driers, etc. we have a hard time finding servicing parts for them or get them serviced properly when they are under warranty.

So, my quick answer is, no, I would not recommend them at all.

Q.

Thermador gas cook-top is very reliable, I replaced the old electric Thermador cook-top with Thermador gas and my wife loves it. It's a little expensive, but it may lasted 15-20+ years.
