The CDA CFD600MB is a 60cm wide dual fuel cooker that pairs a responsive gas hob with two electric ovens, giving you the best of both worlds in a standard slot. With a multifunction main oven, a second conventional oven and grill, and A-rated efficiency, it’s designed to handle everyday family meals without wasting energy.
CDA tends to sit in the value to mid-range bracket, aiming to offer solid specs without premium price tags. At this price it’s a sensible step up from basic cookers, adding useful features like catalytic liners and a digital display rather than flashy gimmicks.
Owners clearly rate it highly: a 4.8 out of 5 score from 31 reviews suggests it’s delivering on reliability and cooking performance for most households.
This cooker is a great fit for small to medium households that cook most days and want the control of gas on the hob with the even heat of electric ovens. The 67-litre main oven is big enough for a family roast, while the 43-litre second cavity is ideal for side dishes or grilling.
If you’re upgrading from a basic single oven cooker, this is a sensible mid-range choice. You gain a multifunction main oven, a proper second oven/grill and easier cleaning, without jumping to the price of top-end range cookers.
It suits confident home cooks who use different cooking modes, but the simple button and rotary dial controls also make it approachable for first-time buyers. You don’t need to be a gadget lover to get on with it.
The black finish and 60cm width make it especially appealing if you want a modern look in a standard-sized kitchen without rearranging units or sacrificing worktop space.
The combination of a gas hob and electric ovens is a real strength. Gas burners react instantly when you turn the dial, giving you fine control for simmering, stir-fries and sauces, while the electric ovens provide consistent heat for baking and roasting.
The 67-litre multifunction main oven offers good capacity for family meals and the flexibility to switch between fan and conventional settings. Paired with the 43-litre second oven and grill, you can easily cook at two temperatures at once or grill while something else bakes.
Catalytic stay-clean liners in the main cavity are a big win for maintenance. They absorb grease as you cook, so you’re left with much less scrubbing to do compared with a standard enamel oven.
Controls are straightforward, with clear buttons and rotary dials plus an LED display, so setting temperatures, timers and modes should feel intuitive even if you’re not especially tech-savvy.
Energy-efficient A ratings for both cavities and a two-year manufacturer warranty add some reassurance on running costs and longevity.
There’s no dedicated wok burner on the hob, so if you regularly cook with large round-bottomed pans you may miss that extra punch of heat and support that some rival models offer.
The hob surface is enamelled steel rather than a more premium glass or stainless finish. It’s perfectly functional but can mark and chip more easily if you’re not careful, and it usually requires a bit more elbow grease to keep looking pristine.
While catalytic liners help in the main cavity, they don’t give you a completely hands-off clean. You’ll still need to wipe down the interior and tackle the second oven more traditionally.
Finally, installation will need both a Gas Safe engineer and an electrician to hard wire it in, and the gas hose isn’t included. That’s standard for this kind of cooker, but worth factoring into your overall budget.
Day to day, the CDA CFD600MB is designed to be straightforward to live with. The 60cm width and 90cm height mean it slots neatly into a standard cooker gap, and the black finish should blend well with most modern kitchens.
The gas hob gives you four burners with a sensible spread of power: a 3 kW burner for faster boiling or searing, two 1.75 kW zones for general cooking and a smaller 1 kW burner for gentle simmering. This layout suits everything from big pans of pasta to delicate sauces, without feeling cramped for a typical household.
Inside, both ovens use drop-down doors, which makes it easier to get heavy dishes in and out, especially from the larger 67-litre main cavity. The interior light and double-glazed doors help you keep an eye on progress without constantly opening the door and losing heat.
Cleaning is noticeably easier than older all-enamel designs. The catalytic liners in the main oven work best if you occasionally run it at higher temperatures, allowing grease to break down so it wipes away more easily. Removable doors mean you can also take them off for a deeper clean if needed.
The LED display and straightforward dials make setting timers and selecting functions quick, with no complicated menus to learn. Once installed, there’s very little to get in the way of just cooking.
Performance-wise, the main event is the 67-litre multifunction oven. With fan and conventional options plus top and bottom elements, it’s versatile enough for everything from evenly risen cakes to crispy roast potatoes. Energy consumption figures of 0.78 kWh on fan settings are respectable for this size, helping keep running costs under control.
The second cavity adds a 43-litre conventional oven and a 2000 W grill. This is invaluable when you’re entertaining or batch cooking — you can, for example, roast meat in the main oven while finishing off veg or using the grill above. Having a full-height second oven, rather than just a small grill compartment, makes a big difference to flexibility.
On the hob, four gas burners cover most everyday needs. The 3 kW zone is powerful enough for quick boiling, searing and deep pans, while the lower-powered burners are excellent for simmering stews or custards without catching. The enamel steel surface is sturdy and helps keep pans stable.
Convenience features are sensibly chosen rather than flashy. Catalytic liners in the main cavity reduce baked-on grease, the halogen interior light makes it easy to check dishes without opening the door, and the integrated LED display keeps timers clear and visible. The inclusion of a baking tray out of the box is a small but welcome touch.
Both ovens carry an A energy rating, so despite having two cavities you’re not paying a heavy efficiency penalty. For households that cook most days, that balance of capacity and efficiency is a real plus.
At its current price, the CDA CFD600MB represents solid mid-range value for a dual fuel cooker with two proper ovens. You’re paying more than for the most basic single-cavity cookers, but you gain a multifunction main oven, a useful second oven/grill, catalytic liners and an LED display — features that genuinely improve day-to-day cooking.
The spec isn’t overly flashy, but it covers what most households actually need, and the A energy ratings for both cavities help keep running costs sensible over time. The two-year manufacturer warranty is also a notch better than some budget rivals that only offer a single year.
Backed by a 4.8/5 owner rating from over thirty reviews, there’s strong evidence that buyers feel they’re getting good performance for the money. If you’re after rock-bottom pricing this won’t be the absolute cheapest option, but for a capable, well-liked dual fuel cooker, it offers very fair value.
The CDA CFD600MB is a well-judged dual fuel cooker that focuses on the essentials: responsive gas burners, a generous multifunction main oven, a genuinely useful second oven and easier cleaning. It may not shout about smart features or designer styling, but it quietly delivers where it counts for everyday cooking.
It’s particularly well suited to small and medium households that cook frequently and want the flexibility of two ovens in a standard 60cm space. Strong owner reviews, A-rated efficiency and a two-year warranty add confidence that it should be a dependable part of your kitchen.
If you need extras like a dedicated wok burner, premium finishes or cutting-edge smart controls, you may want to look higher up the price ladder. For most home cooks though, this cooker offers an appealing balance of performance, practicality and price.
