Best Smeg Freestanding Ovens

Beautiful stove - except...within a year the door rusted and bubbles – I bought the TRA90P9 in cream 2 years ago from Winning appliances. Within a year I noticed bubbling along the base of the glass meeting the door. I… Read more

thought it only minor, but now I see it is actually extending along the length of the door and getting worse. I am waiting on the paint to flake off. Very poor build quality for such an expensive item. I am about to renovate my kitchen and was going to keep my stove as it is "new" - I bought the matching SMEG microwave for the fitout, now considering altering to BOSCH.

I absolutely love this stove and oven to cook with. I have had several issues with the door breaking, but the after sales/service team have been excellent in looking after replacements. Show details

Bought the portofino oven for its size and quality being a Smeg, thats what I truly believed, and less than 3 years later is broke down. It just… Read more

stopped working. Its Saturday afternoon, I have family invited over for dinner and all of a sudden my near brand new oven (as I hardly use it, I mainly use the stove), just stopped working as I am about to put the tray of food in to bake it. So frustrating and humiliating and embarrassing not to mention how stressful this is!!!!!!

This oven has not lived up to SMEG reputation. 1. From get go a fan in oven made hirrendous rattle, had to be replaced. 2. Glass inside left oven… Read more

clips in. Pull door hard enough quicklt, glass just pops off continuall. Eventually the clips broke and a whole new door had to be replaced. 3. Front bar that runs along top. Just came loose. Its attached from under and i side top gas cooker part. No easy way to just raytach. Major job in pulling the back and top off.

Would never buy another SMEG oven. Poor quality and very poor design.

Rust bucket - APALLING!! – DO NOT BUY SMEG – RUSTING, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE & WORTHLESS WARRANTY! I purchased a Smeg Victoria freestanding cooktop and oven from The Good… Read more

Guys, expecting a premium product for the premium price I paid—nearly double the cost of other brands. Instead, I got a product that, in under two years, started severely rusting on the exterior. This is supposed to be a high-end appliance, yet it’s deteriorating like a cheap knockoff.

Before purchasing, I even reached out to Smeg directly to ask if there were any known issues, as I was about to invest a significant amount of money. Of course, there was no response—now I’m left with a rusting, unsightly mess in my kitchen.

When I tried to claim a repair or replacement through Smeg’s so-called “warranty”, I was flat-out denied with the excuse that “rust is not covered.” To make matters worse, I paid for an extended warranty through The Good Guys, which was utterly useless. So, in addition to being sold a defective product, I was also sold a worthless extended warranty that wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Every time I use it and clean it the devastation is relived - hence writing this review.

Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), a product must be of acceptable quality, meaning it should: ✔ Be fit for purpose ✔ Be durable and last a reasonable time ✔ Be free from defects

A high-end oven rusting within two years is a clear breach of these guarantees. I realise now that Extended warranties are often a scam because consumer guarantees under ACL apply regardless of any additional warranty you purchase. Companies should not refuse repairs or replacements for major failures like this.

Smeg and The Good Guys have both failed to honor their obligations under ACL. If you experience this issue, do not accept their refusal—lodge a complaint with the ACCC or your state’s consumer affairs body. I didn’t realise this was an option!!

Final Verdict – AVOID SMEG AT ALL COSTS! • Inferior build quality—rusting in under two years! • Warranty is useless—they refuse to cover rust, despite it being a clear manufacturing defect. • Misleading sales tactics—they’ll take your money but won’t back their product. • Extended warranties are a scam—Australian Consumer Law already protects you, but they won’t tell you that!

I regret this purchase completely and strongly urge others to avoid Smeg unless you want to throw thousands of dollars down the drain. If you’re considering a high-end appliance, go with a brand that actually stands behind their products!
