General Comments

I bought the Smeg DO 8C double electric oven in June 2003. Just after a year the thermostats in both ovens needed replacing at a cost of £150. Six months after that the top oven/grill door shattered and fell to the floor.

Having already spent money purchasing the oven and then paying to repair the thermostats, I was unwilling to throw even more money at it by replacing the door at a cost of at least another £150. Bear in mind that this oven is only 2 years old at this point, and it cost in excess of £600 to purchase.

I spoke to Smeg and they said I was unfortunate! I then wrote to them, and they advised me that it was my own fault as I had not taken out any additional insurance as well as being unfortunate.

The ovens and grills do not cook evenly and are very noisy when on due to the fan.

Needless to say I will not be purchasing any Smeg products again, and I do not recommend them.
