[i]Many people are converting their coal and oil Agas to electric - but a conversion that allows you to run it on a timer so saving running costs.[/i]
Pointless IMO, if it's not on all the time save your money and just buy a normal cooker.
Had them in the last two houses, loved them but they are expensive. We did not have second ovens or hot plates and always boiled a kettle on ours. We both loved cooking on them and proper cooking has taken a fall since. Both were in big kitchens, can imagine in a medium room would easily become too warm. Make great dryers of all wet kit and laundry.
great for reviving poorly newborn lambs but probably the main reason british cuisine has the reputation it does...
I don't know anyone who has one without having a proper cooker too.
Today, mine has done breakfast for four, lunch for twelve, tea for two and then a nice dinner for two. It's going to be making some bread shortly, as well. Oh, and it's kept the kitchen and dining room nice and warm while we had guests, and has also dried out a load of the children's clothes, and has sorted the hot water.

As others have said, though, they're at their best if you're at home a lot (I WFH and family are at home too) and if you make the most of using the heat. We do a lot of slow cooking in ours, and I can't remember the last time I bought bread.
