Stylish, easy to clean, hob and grille are good by my advice is to avoid purchasing one of these without a very long insurance cover. The fan element on the main cooker has failed three times each time costing over £100 to repair. Not good enough for an appliance of this cost.

It is annoying that I can't slow cook or bake gentler dishes.
I noticed that some people had problems with their timer- my advice would be Keep those instructions! Smeg were very good after we lost ours and sent us new ones out free of charge.
The clock/timer can be set twice by mistake and can stop without you rea ...

Had the Smeg A42-2 for 5 years. When it was fitted the fitter (not smeg) bent the legs. Smeg replaced the side of the oven for no charge which was great excellent..

I On 15th May 2003 I purchased a Smeg 70CM Mini Range and Hood at a cost of £1,350.00. Having looked at the Smeg official website and read Smeg's philosophy, I believed their appliances to be very reliable, extremely well built and felt confident I was making the right choice (see extract from Smeg's philosophy below):

"....never forgetting that even the smallest detail merits our attention"

" .exhaustive fatigue testing of materials etc. all testify to Smeg's commitment to offer ...
