Don't waste your time – My wife and I purchased this oven because, naively, we believed that this brand equated to quality. How wrong we were. The first thing we noticed was extremely uneven cooking. Cakes always rise on one side more than others even when using fan forced and the temperature is well off. Not long after the warranty expired the fan forced element at the… Read more

back of the oven stopped working. I am pretty handy so I just purchased one through an internet auction site and decided to put it in myself. Big mistake! This element requires the oven to be removed from the wall or under bench mount then a further substantial amount of disassembly is required. I finally got the element installed and the oven back into the wall and just wrote the experience off to bad luck, after all no oven I have ever owned in the past had an element stop working. So Christmas eve 2015 the fan forced element blew again. Great! Christmas is at our house this year and no oven. Can't afford to replace the oven so back to the auction site....... Blanco, I will never, ever purchase another one of your products again and neither will my friends or family.

Rotten Oven - it blows – We have had this rotten oven for around 9 years and it has broken down 4 times including the electronic timer and the heating element has broken twice and the cooling fan also broke. Each break down has taken between 4-9 months for parts to arrive from overseas. Have never been more disappointed with an electrical appliance and will never ever, ever, buy Blanco again.

This oven is crap – We had this oven for three months before the electronic timer went haywire.When the timer doesn't work the oven won't work at all. Got it fixed under warranty. Then broke again within a few months. The seal are no good and food gets stuck under them. The supports that hold the racks rattle around. This is the worst oven I've ever come accross. Simply doesn't work.

Waste of money. 1 star is two too many.. this product would suck a mop dry!! – To start my research shows that Blanco do not make ovens at all. Australia is the only country in which Blanco has ovens branded. If they are so big in Europe why is it that none of their web sites show any ovens as products? In the UK they have dishwashers that are made by someone else. For their domestic market they make steel sinks! … Read more

Our oven timer has been broken since installation. Getting it fixed under warranty did not happen. The timer has been intermittently faulty - hence no fault found - and now it is out of warranty it fails constantly.

The cost of a replacement part is over $300 which makes it almost a throw away item.

The Blanco name is being used as a European brand but the Australian public are being misled as far as the "European quality" as it apparently does not exist. It looks pretty but we got more value out of the box it came in Faulty from day 1, no warranty support. Timer replacement cost is $300+ which makes it a throw-away

Absolutely agree with this assessment! I purchased this oven in 2007 and had a noisy fan replaced… Read more (+2 replies)

A Good Oven – I have used this oven for more than 5 years and it works very well. Need little cleaning as it has self cleaning function. Very easy to clean. I bought the Blanco package and am happy with the stove and rangehoods too. The stainless steel are of high quality, after these years still look brand new. Lately the timer needs repair just because of the heavy usage. Overall good products. Quality made Oven internal size a little small

Bad – We bought a Blanco kitchen package and we have issues with all the items. If you want Euro-cheap got for it, but if you want quality look elsewhere. Cooks OK The door seal leaks - so we've got fat stuck between the inner and outer glass.

Used one in my old house was very good! – It was a great oven to use while I was in my old house. Cooking was nice and come out evenly and I am pleased to say I have purchased another Blanco oven since. Build quality is very high and cooking ability is great as well. The only problem is that in this model the oven was a little small. Cooks even and well. Oven is a little small.

Excellent high quality oven – We have this oven as part of a complete Blanco cooking package, and we love it. It is quick to heat up, easy to keep clean, and has a high quality look and feel to it. Cooks extremely well too! Reasonable price for european oven, nice even cooking, good design. If there has been a power cut then oven clock has to be reset before cooking functions resume.
