James I think this is right. 10 years ago Smeg was very well regarded, often houses were advertised with Smeg appliances. Sometime between then and now things have changed. Many forums on the subject now deride the brand and post stay away warnings. I suspect what has happened is they have chased the developers market and in order to compete have moved into low cost, low technology production. My mother in law has a new Smeg oven (90cm) that came with her house and I have never seen a tinnier, rattlier appliance - heat is extremely inconsistent. If you do get a new oven, I would compare the Smegs to other brands available in case you find the standards have changed. Re: Bosch Or Smeg Oven/Cooktop 10Feb 09, 2011 12:35 pm I'm going against the grain here. Iguess it's down to personal experience and needs but I love smeg. Having said that I'm going Bosch dishwasher as I haven't found a better product in the market. I've had Smeg cooktop, oven and rangehood in our previous house, I can't fault any of the products we purchased. I'm having them again in our new kitchen I was that happy with them.

Sad to hear, i really do like my Smeg oven, i haven't actually looked at appliances in the flesh yet for our new house...but come to think of it i don't recall seeing Smeg ovens in any display homes lately, just the big slab of Miele appliances...(who really needs 2 different types of ovens?) Re: Bosch Or Smeg Oven/Cooktop 12Feb 14, 2011 6:06 pm Have/had a full Smeg kitchen; never to be repeated, with the oven and canopy hood the only appliances left; the rest died under 7 yo, and after our Reno, there will be no more Smeg. The oven is uneven heat-wise, and the canopy doesn't draw well. The cooktop and dishwater burnt out. Re: Bosch Or Smeg Oven/Cooktop 13Feb 23, 2011 5:41 am We've got a Bosch oven and love it.
