This is my second Smeg range cooker- my first lasted 17 years! I love the way it looks and the way it cooks. We cooked our first rotisserie chicken in it yesterday and it was delicious. A great addition to our kitchen.

We just bought this Smeg Opera A2-81 to replace our old Smeg A2 range cooker, which was 18 years old. The ovens had stopped working and because of its advanced age it was impossible to get spare parts to fix the electrics. It was a shame because the gas hobs were working perfectly. These range cookers are well build and last long time - and they look great too.

Fabulous product and most competitively priced. I feel like a proper professional chef! My first SMEG product, now I want to replace everything else I have as the quality speaks for itself!

I purchased this mainly due to the large main cavity. Most range ovens would not take one of my large stone bakeware dishes whereas this would. Good looking cooker. Just how my kitchen it set up would of preferred smaller ring on the side of the hob rather than middle but that is totally a personal thing. Only downside oven fan carries on for quite a while after oven turned off and clock was difficult to originally set.

I was not disappointed with my Smeg range cooker it is solid and looks amazing

Looks smart and feels good quality given the weight of the doors etc...

A professional looking range that hopefully meets our cooking needs. It is well built and very heavy. It required 3 adults to lift in place. It is not fitting with rear rollers to make the task any easier. There is very little space an the rear of the oven to accommodate a bayonet and hose fitting. Therefore needs careful planning prior to installing.

The fan oven feature reacts badly if there is any moisture in food (which is loads of things you cook) and creates a steamy environment. When you open the door all the water/ food liquid residue drops down into the drawer below all the time. The oven gets dirty very quickly from food cooked in it - after less than 12 months it’s been regularly cleaned but the bottom looks as if I’ve spilt treacle in it - I haven’t spilt anything. When you turn the oven off it takes 40 minutes plus to turn off and be cool. Even the smallest ring on the hob causes a pan to catch if you wanted to leave it on the hob slowly and gently simmering. Awful product and SMEG have sent an engineer and tell me it’s working within the correct parameters. Worst oven I have ever owned and the most expensive.
