Purchased the Smeg C7GPX9 end of Sep 2020. I did not take extra insurance as I didn’t think it necessary. It’s only 4 years old and last year had a a faulty door lock and after the engineer left had a broken gas knob. Since August this year it’s had a new element and needs a new power board at the back which I have now waited for for 3 weeks from Smeg. As it’s all automated nothing works without the power board. Why Oh why can thing not be made to last, as least for 5 years given the pride of it. I would buy this make again.

Not as well performed as imagined, overall very complicated to use and had a few scratches on the cooker and baking tray missing. Informed customer service was offered some help but very pleased for as for £1100 and for Smeg brand would experience better. Very unhappy with overall performance and cooler.

It cooks nicely, the hob works well, and is reasonably easy to clean, The oven cleaned on the P setting. Happy with that. The oven light bulb went out after about 6 weeks, I ordered a box of 4 from Amazon, read the SMEG instruction booklet on bulb changing.... got a screwdriver, seems I was tucked behind the whole frame, not just the glass, it's where the screwdriver found, I was wearing a headtorch for visibility, which is what I wear in my day job as an Audi Master Technician, so the light frame is badly engineered, thankfully I noticed and forced the screwdriver in between the glass and the frame, when the glass popped out, the insulation crumbled to nothing on the floor of the oven. So that is now useless. I had to insert three bulbs before one finally stayed alive whilst refitting the rack support, which has to clip in somewhat violently (it's slightly out of alignment) causing 2 bulbs to blow. On the third attempt I literally treated it like a 5 week old kitten, and kept the bulb live. I notice that it's impossible to remove the glass with a screwdriver, as instructed without damaging the oven wall. I have been delighted with this appliance up until today, I accepted the bulb blowing so soon as one of those things.

Came scratched. The product itself is great and very pleased

Cooks well, but the metal is quite flimsy and I had to tighten lots of screws as they were all loose. I just hope that they’ve tightened the screws internally. Really quite disappointed by the build quality, not what I was expecting. It also rattles a lot - makes for a noisy cooking experience. I have an air fryer that makes less noise! I’ll be fixing it to the wall and ensuring there are no gaps to stop or at least reduce the rattling. The unit is very attractive if that helps.

A very good cooker - as it should be for the price. Its about the only 70cm cooker you will find now to fit an awkward space. Be aware that no bayonet-fitting gas pipe nor an adapter for one is included and these will need to be purchased separately. This also means it cannot be legally self-installed.

Quality item. Bought to fit 700mm gap and available power supply, 15amp. Oven control a bit too complicated for my liking, does too many things. Gas burners are very effective. Controls could be better illuminated as they are vertical with the symbols a bit too low and difficult to see, I'm tall and old. The gas pipe connection type and location is different to every other cooker I've had which meant having it altered as well as connected. However gas fitter said it wasn't unusual.

Great cooker. Choice is limited at this size which pushes the price up, but despite that we are very happy with it.
