"A lovely oven, simple to use and large enough for 2 Xmas turkeys "
"Bought to replace a 10 yo De Dietrich oven that had finally given up the ghost. Not many makes for a 900mm oven so went with what we had experience of before. Very pleased, 10 mins heat to required temp, v quiet, many programmes and easy to operate. "

"We had the previous model and loved it. The upgrades to this oven have improved it dramatically. The space in the oven is amazing. It has a sensible range of functions including a defrost and proving function which both work well. It looks really nice, is very quiet, and stays cool to the touch even when run at maximum. It is easy to clean and a pleasure to use. My only gripe is that it should have come with a second wire shelf on top of the sliding tray and one shelf which were supplied, although you can buy another one from smeg spares. Very happy with our purchase 2 weeks in. "

"With a new kitchen being installed, we wanted a new oven to go with it. Having viewed 'standard' ovens, we quickly realised the limitations compared to our existing 90cm Smeg oven. Given this is so versatile due to the size, and has served us well for 11 years, plus however long for others before that, we opted for a direct replacement with the newer version. Looking forward to using it as I'm sure it will be at least as good, if not better than our existing one considering the new features."

"We can fit two of our deep baking trays side by side on the top shelf (37x34cm) and got all the party canapes done in one shot. The sliding tray is surprisingly strong, it took our 7.5Kg turkey easily for basting and turning. We mounted ours at worktop height which makes transfers of heavy roast to the worktop really easily.
There's a couple of things we hadn't picked up on in other reviews. The oven external cooling fan pushes the air out of a slim grille at the front. It catches you in the eyes at worktop height. Shame. A hardware switch somewhere to reverse the fan so it draws in from the front and exits via the back would fix this. That fan is also quite loud, made worse by the grille being so slim.
Having multiple options accessible only using two knobs/buttons is never going to be intuitive to a new user, however, after a few meals the most common requirements are learnt quite easily. The minute timer is just that, a minute timer. This means the timer isn't totally useful as the main kitchen timer. We do use half minutes quite regularly so still have to use our phones or iPad (boiled eggs, steamed veg)."

"Purchased this Smeg oven to replace an old worn out Baumatic model.
Size is everything!
Inside this oven is HUGE......
Absolutely great for parties and Christmas dinner.
Almost silent in use, nice clear display.
Cannot fault it, perfect!
