Best Steam Ovens

10/10 – As a chef I've cooked on a lot of stoves and this has to be up there with the best residential upright cookers on the market. I've had mine for 3… Read more

years now and its been nothing but perfect, burner performance is exceptional, oven is also very good.

Hands down out performs any Ilve or belling it genuinely in a league of its own, I spent months researching upright cookers from all brands and the Steel was a standout in looks and specs.

Would without a doubt purchase another id recommend to everyone that asked.

Westinghouse High End Range ,Best Oven On the Market – Very satisfied with this huge 900mm Wall Oven, all stainless steel shelving and accessories, Sleek Design in Black stainless steel, Best results in… Read more

even cooking, easy programming panel , Large capacity, beautiful design. Bosch, Meile, Smeg, Ovens are overrated and over priced.

So versatile – Our old Smeg oven died after 12 years of faithful service, was older and it came with the house. Due to the great service we’ve received from Smeg… Read more

over the years, I decided to stay with Smeg, although I did look at Neff and some other brands but the Smeg was a standout.

Loving the steam function, keeps roast soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The meat thermometer is a game changer, no more guessing if it’s cooked to perfection or overdone. I make pizza dough on a regular basis, and having a proving function is fantastic.

Used the self cleaning function, game changer as it’s so easy, you just wipe the ash out at the end of the cycle.

I was worried about it being so clever, but the self cook functions are great if you’ve got kids, or a hubby who can’t cook. They choose what they want, hot chips, pizza etc and the oven does the rest, no keeping an eye on it as it’s all timed.

Got the air fryer trays last week, they were a free add on, looking forward to trying it out as I’d love to get rid of the air fryer we have, small house and not enough room, so the oven having this ability is a bonus.

Best combi microwave oven – We renovated our kitchen two years ago and discovered the TEKA brand at the time during (a lot of) research. The brand comfortably sits alongside… Read more

other top premium brands but offers far better value. This combination microwave oven is another one of the appliances we've come to love and we have used it multiple times a day for the last two years, with no issues at all. It's controls and menu options are very easy to navigate, including its timed cooking options. We do primarily use it as a microwave, however when entertaining we use it as a second oven (and prefer it to our main oven- in terms of cooking results!). It has a digital thermostat, so very accurate with its temperature control and being a compact oven, it's heat up time is very quick. Love it!

Great reliable modern oven. Not sure the Air-Fry is quiet as I had expected but it seems to cook well. My only issue with this Oven has been that… Read more

when we have had Power Outages or Brown Outs with the Energy company the Control Panel goes completely blank - dead - nothing. Cannot set the clock. I actually had the first oven replaced. The second one kept doing the same. But there is no easy reset. A huge note of warning - the power control board contains a small capacitor. In order to reboot you need to drain off all power running to the oven. The Power circuit switch was not enough to reset it. I had to turn mains and Solar battery backup off completely for 10 minutes to reset the oven. So I hope this post helps someone. You do not have to replace the control board just do a hard reset at the Main Power. Other than that it is easy to use and easy to clean.

Neff steam oven reliability? easy fix if I had known – Recently had a Neff steam wall oven installed 6 weeks ago and it has worked perfectly until undertaking it's first descaling operation. During the … Read more

first rinse cycle the oven stopped working and displayed an error code and instructed me to press the power button to retry. During the retry the oven pumped water out over the floor and cupboards and now has become practically useless. I have discovered that the descale process cannot be "interrupted" and as a result no other function on the oven is available to me, even if I turn it off and on again the oven returns to the point just prior to the error message. The descale process cannot be overridden to allow me to use the oven in any way. Following this I contacted NEFF customer service, which operates 24/7 and they were very helpful arranging a call to me from a repair technician within two hours. This is a very good service however this is where my next problem started. The technician indicated that they could not attend for 9 days and if the oven required a part it would take up to 14 days to obtain the part IF it is in Australia and 4 weeks if it had to be sent from Germany. There would also be a waiting time for the technician to attend once the part had arrived. My experience with the oven up until now has been a joy and it does exactly what it says it will do and does it very well but the downtime I experienced was unnecessary The technician who attended gave an easy fix. Please read my response to this review for details.

Great oven, had descaling issues which are hopefully solved now – In general a great product and we love using it. However we had an annoying issue with descaling. You can't turn off mandatory descaling and or… Read more

descaling cycle interrupted with 9 minutes to go in a 41 min cycle, no way to get around it.

We only fill it with filtered water, so we thought descaling shouldn't be necessary at all. During a service visit from Miele the technician explained it is designed to run on normal tap water and i shouldn't fill with filtered water. That caused a problem that was fixed during the visit.

So far we didnt need to descale after that visit, I trust it is sorted now.

Great Until you need a Part – Love the oven until you need a part for it, one year and still waiting, i paid so much for the oven, I can't really get a new oven but I may have to as I am only working on 3 burners, very frustrating. Show details
