    Terrible hob

    1/5
    This cooker is a huge let down, the hob in particular. It is impossible to maintain a rolling boil, simmer or an even cook with it - the hob comes on, brings the contents of the pan to a boil, then turns off, then back on again, and so on. It means that water/contents boils, then settles, boils, then settles, etc. All turning the dial down does is make this happen less frequently. I have boiled over pans and burned the contents numerous times and I am not inept in the kitchen! The multizone function is also over sensitive and often does not recognise that it has a pan on it. I hate using this hob! We had a much cheaper induction hob/cooker before and it was much better and easier to control. I raised my issues with Smeg and, in fairness to them, they were quick, polite and sent an engineer round quickly. However, following that, in their opinion the hob was working as expected and so they are not interested in doing anything further. We are stuck with this awful cooker. They seem to recognise their is an issue though as their solution (according to their website) is to buy a set of cast iron pots/pans, at great expense, as they work better than other induction approved ones. Well I'm sure they do, but that should not be needed and our current pots/pans worked fine on the old hob. I strongly regret buying this cooker and will not be buying anything from Smeg again. I expected much better from this supposedly premium brand. I suggest any potential buyers proceed with caution and definitely try-before-you-buy.

    Worst experience on a failed product from an appalling manufacturer

    1/5
    I bought this item in 2020 because I believed SMEG to be a good manufacturer with good customer service. Before the 2 years was up they had to visit to replace a fault with the oven. Now out of warranty by 6 months the induction hob has failed. An engineer (not SMEG because they would not come) has advised the faulty oven door has caused steam to erode the pcb and induction generators BUT this is not a manufacturers problem apparently as it is outside of warranty. I expect a range cooker to last 10 years not 2.5 years particularly at this price. Be Warned All. FYI...AO are trying to help me resolve this but SMEG should have stood up and done their customer service and they have failed big time.

    Disappointing

    Still not even been able to use this yet after 2 weeks of it being installed. The thermostat thinks the oven is over heating and it locks even at a low temperature. Smeg have sent an engineer who said they had seen this model have the same problem on three other cookers recently but smeg technical support don't know what the problem is and have asked for new parts. Hopefully this will fix the problem but not likely for another week at least and I'm not all that confident it will work from what the engineer has said. Very disappointing for such a well regarded brand.

    Very disappointed with this product

    1/5
    What a terrible product. We have had this oven replaced 3 times, the third oven delivered today, also does not work. The bigger sized oven heats up, reaches temperature, then starts bleeping like mad, and then the door goes into lock mode. The door will only release once it is switched off at the mains. This is the third model with the same problem. Cannot be coincidence!!! We have now been without a working oven for 6 weeks. I would strongly advise against buying this product.

    Awful, awful, awful. Don't buy.

    It's awful. Please don't buy it. The build quality is shocking - everything feels flimsy and loose fitting. The glass in one of the doors has fallen apart after a week of use. Not looking forward to spending hours on the phone to Smeg's notoriously awful customer service. Ignore the other reviews. This a shoddily made item and I bitterly regret buying it.

    Looks Great. Shame it doesn’t work!

    Arrived and expertly installed by the AO team. No complaints there. However on day two the main oven decided not to work. Waiting on a Smeg engineer to come and fix it. Not even had a roast yet. On the positive side it does look nice and the induction hob is fast.

    Very noisy fan. Fan continues half an hour after cooking. So you cook for 10 and pay for a cooling fan for a further 30 minute ! Grill great. Hob excellent. But there is cool spot in the middle of the main oven which affects quality of cooking. Grilling with the door slightly open results in the knobs being too hot to touch. Instructions very weak and do even state what each function knob on the two cookers do. Would not buy again.

    Not very impressed so far with the oven. The instruction manual is really vague and I have absolutely no idea how to use it to it's full potential. I was not asked about the fuse I had and there are 2 differing opinions of which fuse is required. There is a 'rope' type thing going round the inside the cooker door which looks like it will last a few weeks only. The cooker appeared to lose power during a long cooking time on Christmas day, my sister had the same problem with the same oven. Very disappointed
