Plastic rubbish, spent 4 months back and fourth with Chef trying to get a replacement door handle because the plastic parts have cracked and the door handle came off. Zero parts and didn't bother to replace my oven. Ended up buying another brand at only 20 months old but used for only 16. Show details

Great oven – Very simple controls - especially setting clock and start finish times. We do a lot of cooking, including baking, and are very happy with it. It simply does what it is supposed to. Show details

difficult warranty experience turned out ok – Had some issues with original item that was sorted out by Tania from their customer support team via Product Review. She managed to cut through all the red tape and get a replacement oven delivered and installed (thank you Tania). New oven was installed by two friendly technicians today and the oven both looks good and is working without a… Read more ·  2

problem. I'll update the review when I've given the oven a proper test run. Update - Have now test-run this oven for a few months and can honestly say for its price it is fantastic. It doesn't have any bells and whistles but it cooks well, runs well, easy to install and importantly the matt black finish looks amazing in a modern kitchen.

Terrible oven, terrible customer service – This oven is less than a year old. Had chef come out twice… 1st time to replace element as it caught on fire. 2nd time as it’s not cooking food properly. 50 minutes to cook frozen chips on 220 degrees to be told by chef that it’s now “in fashion” to slow cook so they made this model a slow cook version so everything takes twice as long. 30 minutes… Read more

to cook a pizza on 180 degrees that should be ready in 8 minutes. Both times had to throw food out as wasn’t cooked in the middle. I’ve had many chef ovens over the years and they have been awesome. Both this product and their customer service has been really disappointing and I would never purchase from them again. So now I’m stuck with a new oven that’s useless. I even asked if they’d do me a deal on a upgrade but we’re not willing to help. I must add, the serviceman was really lovely.

Waste of money for oven and repair - now resolved – Oven purchased as part of kitchen upgrade just over two years ago. Trips electrical safety switch on most occasions when used. Also paid for repair from chef appliances which found nothing. Have tried contacting Chef/Electrolux twice since as was unhappy to pay for service of their faulty oven but had no reply. Update: Chef service got back in touch with me on posting my review and ultimately did a great job of repairing the oven. Thanks Show details

Piece of Crap – New JG King house only lasted two and a half years, cheap crap not worth fixing. Stone cold. Did not expect to worry about repairing such a new appliance. Not financially viable to spend money on repairs when a new one with warranty is $500 Show details

Perfect budget oven – Baked my first cake in this oven. Perfect job! Basic but accurate appliance. Great replacement for my dead Euro oven. Temperature was even, operation simple. No bells and whistles but a great oven! Show details

Not as hot as other fan forced ovens – Have had this over for just over a year. It does cook and is easy to work but temp is different to other fan forced ovens. For example, if cooking instructions tell you to set the oven for 200 (conventional) and 180 (fan forced), you best be setting it at 200 because 180 isn’t going to do the job enough. Show details

This oven is good – This oven is good. Last one I had was a Haier, gave me no end of trouble. Best decision I ever made was to replace it. This one is fan forced and also has base heat plate as well. Show details

Basic but a goody – This oven was a standard supply from our builder. I believe first and foremost that the most important requirement of an oven is that it maintains an accurate temperature. I am satisfied that this oven does just that. Also, being fan forced it cooks evenly and so far I have had no trouble with it. It has done a good job of roasts as well as cakes.… Read more

It may not come with all the bells and whistles but then those are just extras and this oven does what every oven needs to do. Cook well!

Never had problems with – I really like the space what I got in. My only problem with this product, I could not work out how I can turn your off the light so it is on until I do not turn off the whole thing. Otherwise it is cook food nicely , same intensity everywhere around.  Show details

Don't buy this if you want the Timer to work properly – The mechanical timer on this product is terrible. Had 3 services from Electrolux, replaced timer twice, and timer still buzzed 6-10 minutes before time, although it continues to tick. Of course was told by Electrolux there have been no issues, so replaced the oven and guess what, timer still not accurate. Now buzzes 3.5 minutes early, so don't buy… Read more

this if you need to use the timer. Amazing this is allowed to be sold. Anyway, aside from the timer, oven does the job ;o)

Works well – This oven has all the features required to cook and grill. It bakes cakes & cooks roasts well. It’s easy to work with its dial operation is easy to keep clean and takes no time at all to pre heat. The electric oven cooks and Browns evenly . Would recommend  Show details

Glass exploded – This is rubbish, 2nd cook and the interior glass of the door exploded, there goes lunch. Contacted Electrolux and after dealing with a very rude person, we may get it fixed in about 7 days, glass has to come from South Australia. Will never buy Chef or any Electrolux product. Stay away.  Show details

Peace of crap – This oven is garbage there is a small gap between the door and the control panel where a fan blows hot air out from the oven straight onto the handle and your hands and it's quite hot somewhere between 70 to 100 degrease celeous. Enough to burn your hands it's a terrible design flaw  Show details

fan forced function not working – I recently purchased this oven (30/11/2017) from the Good Guys (Cairns) and had it installed today by our electrician (09/12/2017). It would appear that the fan forced function of the oven is not working. I have emailed electrolux today, but await a response. I might be a bit impatient but its not long until the festive season and would like an outcome soon.  Show details

Chef Wall Oven with Internal Griller – We recently purchased the above oven and were a bit apprehensive as our old oven had a separate griller, but this has not been and issue, so far we have found it pretty easy to use, and the fact that the oven door does not get too hot to touch, I love the keep warm mode, if needed, and other than a few hiccups getting accustomed to the settings etc, it is a very good oven and good value.  Show details

So far so good – Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had any issues yet. Better than what I used to have. Definitely like the fan bake option which I didn't used to have. Hopefully I don't encounter any issues along the way. The grill works pretty good as well. Have no complaints yet.  Show details

Complete rubbish – I have already had a technician in once as the fan was making a noise. This oven does not get hot enough all I ever hear from my family is "My food is still frozen" after following instructions on packages. Takes double the amount of time and still barely cooked. This oven is a waste of time and money.  Show details

Rubbish – No Cheap & Nasty! No good don't even know the correct model number because it is not on the front of the oven, not hot enough and shelves are two close to each other, so if you have to cook a large roast, good luck, one oven tray is near the bottom the other is near the top!!  Show details
