I'm really pleased with this oven. We had a tricky size space (90cm wide) that had previously held a double oven. This oven was a perfect fit. It heats very quickly, has consistent heating throughout the space, and there is a light you can switch on from outside so you don't have to open the door. In the week since it was installed we're tested it with a roast dinner (perfect potatoes), lasagna (crispy top just as we like it), biscuits and pizza. It takes a few days to get to grips with all the functions (I used youtube for advice) but it's worth it... there is even a self cleaning function!

We chose this model because it looks great, sleek elegant lines combined with an almost minimalist design. At first sight all the documentation that came with it was a bit daunting but actually the various booklets are just different language versions of the user manual. Actually using the oven is very easy and the knobs have a logic to them that makes them almost intuitive. It I svey quiet, very quick to heat up and has all the functions you'll ever need in an oven. Is there a down side? Yes there is and that there is only one shelf rack, if you're reading this SMEG we need another shelf rack!!!

So far, nothing to dislike. Looks the business. Still getting used to controls but practice makes perfect. Ordered an additional rack from SMEG at £43 (pricey) as only one supplied along with drip tray. Arrived within 3 days. Happy overall. If you want / need an oven with huge capacity and good looks, this is the one for you.

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).
