Flavel

Origins

The origin of the Flavel brand can be traced back to 1777, when John Flavel (1754-1834) acquired an iron foundry in Bilton near Rugby. John's son, William, revolutionised cooking with his invention of the Kitchener cooking range in 1829 to replace open fires and spits.

In 1833 Sidney Flavel continued his father's pioneering spirit, building the Eagel foundry, acclaimed in an 1861 Great Western illustrated guide as 'the largest manufactory of its kind in the world.' At the end of the nineteenth century Flavel was again at the forefront of the second kitchen revolution with the introduction of a series of gas cookers.

Flavel Today

In 2002 the Flavel brand was acquired by Beko Plc, one of the largest domestic appliance manufacturers to the UK, the 3rd largest appliance company in Europe and one of the top ten appliance brands in the world.

Flavel is synonymous with quality and innovation, and these values are maintained throughout the range today. We ensure the quality of the design, materials and construction of our products remain uncompromised. Modern manufacturing techniques used at the state-of-the-art production facility meet the exacting standards of quality required by today's consumers.

Quality and Style since 1777

Flavel is renowned for the manufacture of contemporary, professionally designed cookers and using its expertise to expand into a full range of home appliances designed to exceed the expectations of today's modern consumers.

Flavel has gone from being a premium product with  massive history around the name to being, in our opinion, devalued to the same point almost as the Beko brand is regarded in the marketplace. In other words, a step up from the bottom of the market.

Obviously whilst the appliance were being produced by Rangemaster they were pretty good cookers and essentially a cut down Rangemaster but, now, that is no longer the case.
