Smeg SUK 91MFX Review

Overall Rating

The plus points are design and size of oven plus hobs.
Outer case is well made and wearing well. The price also looks good at first.

Controls for grill and oven are confusing, and instructions were hopeless. Elements keep blowing!

The SMEG SUK ovens look like good value for money and a stylish addition to your kitchen, but don't be fooled!
Ours is now about 4 years old and although the stainless exterior is wearing well the durability of the elements in the oven is lacking ( I would say design fault or seriously cheaply made). Our oven fan elements both failed at about 1.3 years. The cost of callout and fitting was £180 ! I watched repair man spend 5 minutes changing the elements! The cost of new elemets is actually £33 each (interspares.co.uk). I now replace mine myself. Unplug mains-Open oven- remove trays-remove 4 nuts to fan shroud (at back of oven)-remove elements (3 Phillips screws)-don't let cables drop inside case-fit new element- replace shroud, very easy 5 minutes. Ours seem to last about a year each.
The grill element is now hanging down in the middle and hinges on the door can no longer hold it in the 'grill' postion. Shame that these problems spoil an otherwise good cooker
