Harvey Norman exclusive disaster oven – What can i say, 1st it was missing small washer for door eventually they came out and installed the missing part months later, Main oven struggles to cook anything.... close to double the time our last gas oven, tech came out and said nothing is wrong (temp test) however we also had problems turning cooktop on so they came again and replaced the… Read more
starters on all 4 burners.....its out of warranty now, works but dont count on that nicely baked cake or lamb leg etc its a bad experience made in UK! Already planning to buy another oven. (i also got my plumber to check gas pressure cost me $140) . so definitely out of pocket as the gas pressure is not the problem!
Don't buy one – We purchased this oven 3 years ago. It is an lpg model and since we had purchased it ,it hasnt worked properly. We put up with it for a while thinking we would get use to it but it didn't get any better. It takes well over 75 minutes to cook baked vegies on a temp of 240oc. We contacted Belling and they said it had to be installed by a gas plumber… Read more
so we had one come and do something to the connection even though we had a gas stove previous to this one and our old stove worked fine. Still no better cooking time takes forever. Called them again and of course now it is out of warranty and they couldn't find anywhere that we had contacted them previously even though we did. The stove guy who came to look at it says it looks like a thermostat issue. I would not recommend Belling it is a very disappointing stove and no help from the company if there is an issue. Buy another brand.
Still waiting to hear anything from Belling. I have read some reviews about the same thing maybe… Read more
A great stove for the price, dual ovens are great – My old oven had stopped working and I do a lot of cooking so needed an upgrade. I had wanted to install a duel fuel freestanding stove, however to have the 15amp electrics installed was prohibitively expensive. So I decided to stick with an all gas oven and stovetop. I had read many negative reviews about this Belling stove so I was a little… Read more · 1
apprehensive in buying it. However I got a good price and installation was reasonable.
This product is excellent. I ran both oven cavities at once and used the stovetop extensively preparing my first meal on it. It cooked much faster than my old oven ever did and the meals turned out great. The temperatures in the cavities seemed quite even, especially using the fan forced feature. The burners are a little slower than what I'm used to however I expect this will seem quite normal in a short period of time. The stove looks great, the dual ovens are perfect for my use and it feels like a quality made product.
All-in-all I am very happy with this stove. If the features interest you I would recommend buying it.
Not as sold on this as the person who convinced me to buy! – When renovating my kitchen I was wanting to convert from Electric to gas to save on bills. Was passing this at Harvey Norman as a lady who owned one already for some time gushed about it. Love the 2 ovens,very handy, the cook top is good and love the idea of the glass top. Protects my very expensive Italian porcelain tiles behind the stove when… Read more
cooking. The main oven cavity just never seemed to get hot enough so finally called Belling who very responsively sent a service call out. Found the over possibly had issue with the thermostat and replaced. No issue. Temperature is better, but the oven thermometers I have say its not reaching the temperature I dial up. Eg, 200 is only getting to 185 deg C. All good as this is much better and I can always dial it up a little if I need. At least I'm not cooking at 150 when I want 200 like initially. I have heard bad reports about Belling service, but I cant fault the. If you just want the run of the mill oven to do your simple stuff, the this is an ok option. If you're a cordon blue chef, look elsewhwhere.

Would not recommend – Not impressed. I have had this serviced for not staying alight (it is gas), the temperature being incorrect (not hot enough). The initial service response was good, BUT three days later the same problem has occurred again. Another underdone roast dinner which is disappointing and frustrating. Will not recommend unless it can be fixed and be reliable! Show details
We can understand why this would be frustrating and we… Read more (+4 replies)
Great design but – (1) Push button ignition in main oven has been repaired twice by local gas fitter at our expense ( 2) The glass lid has to be replaced for the 2nd time because the metal frame supporting the glass shows evidence of rust. Stove was installed January 2015.
Best oven ever! – I absolutely love my Belling oven the twin ovens are fantastic and it bakes like a dream. No more burnt bases scorched edges it cooks evenly every time. The splash back makes cleaning behind the stove a breeze and around the jets are also easy to wipe over. Control markings protected by glass, side opening oven door makes removing food easy. I highly recommend this oven and looks great in my kitchen. Show details
Absolutely useless – I really wanted a double oven, but only have space for a 60cm oven at the moment until my kitchen is redone so bought the Belling FSG61DOPFSNG. Wow, what a complete load of garbage. The oven takes ONE HOUR to preheat, it takes me a total of 2 hours of oven use to cook a tray of frozen chips. Also, I can't use it under 180 or the flame goes out!! I've only had it 7 months. Show details

Rubbish – Bought this oven approx 2.5 years ago. First the handles broke off and Belling wouldn't replace them. The price they wanted was daylight robbery. Bought some generic ones off eBay. Much better and cheaper than the original ones. Now the cooktop won't stay alight. Appears the thermostat that detects the heat from the sensors telling the thermostat… Read more
to keep the gas open is buggered. Have tried calling several oven repair places in Perth WA and they don't want to know about this brand. My recommendation is pay a little more and get something better.

Don't overlook this oven...it's The best!! – After 4 months of searching on the net and checking ovens out in stores, We decided on a Belling gas/electric freestanding oven with gas cooker. It's great!. It is easy to clean, I love the black top, it hides the little spills until you wipe it. It has a feel of quality, the knobs turn smoothly, The oven is a good size and has 2 racks, some… Read more
oven only have one. The smaller oven/grill at the top is so handy for baking a desert while a roast dinner is in the main oven. The oven has an option of fan forced if you want it. The grill heats up super quick. I also love the beautiful, practical glass top on it. Wonderful idea. Only down fall is getting used to the noise of the cooling fan that kicks in when the oven or grill heats up. Also no high or low on the grill. In saying that they are minor things, overall I am very very happy with this oven. If I ever leave this house I hope the next house has a Belling. Being a British built appliance I looked at UK reviews, not many Aussie reviews.
