Omega element – In seven years of having the kitchen renovated and new oven we have done at least 4 elements oven doesn’t get a lot of use but sometimes you turn it on and won’t heat up gets very annoying other than that it does the job I’m lucky I can replace element myself but going to look at new ovens today noting last as long as the old days.

An oven that does what a good oven should – Our oven is now 12 years old. It heats up quickly and the thermostate is spot on, nice sound heat ( not much fluctuation) no hot spots . Just had to replace to fan ellament easy to purhase new alellament and easy to install. All in all a good oven. Show reply
Stop the Beeping!!!! – Due to storms our power is often disrupted. When the electrical service is restored our omega oven starts that high pitch beep. I have read all the instructions re this and what works last time doesn't work next time. We now turn the oven off at the fuse box to stop the beeping. I wish I had never bought this appliance and would recommend anyone consider an alternative appliance. Yours, Going Crazy. Show details
Good oven, but symbols cant be read – There are no lights on the symbols when you turn it on which makes it hard to use. Sometimes i have had to use a torch so i can see to turn on.... supplied in new house build. Show details

Stopped working just after warranty ran out – One day it was fine and the next, nothing. Very disappointing. It is reasonable to get more than 2.5 years from a product before it stops working. I see from the review of others that this is a problem that many have found with this oven. Why has it not been fixed? Show details

A Scary Oven – The oven had been installed by the previous owner when we bought our home, it was brand new. One day it literally caught fire out of the blue after the first two years, smoke came out and luckily the power tripped out. We got an oven repairer out, and he said he had never seen anything like it, all the wiring in the front panel had burnt to crisp… Read more
and we’re better off getting a new one as too expensive to fix. We contacted Omega who said as we don’t have the purchase receipt, there is nothing they can do. Honestly, I would not want to replace it with another Omega product anyway as I’d always worry my house burns down because of it. Have now replaced it with a different brand that I have more confidence in. An oven really should last longer than a couple of years.
Good morning Gunta, it is very unfortunate that you have… Read more
crap product crap service – brought a new omega upright oven from the good guys 8 months ago. Already have had one thermostat replacement due to no oven function working which took around 3 weeks to repair and unable to use my oven and speaking to the lady on the phone was quite rude. 3 months later the same problem has occured rand customer support 2 days ago was told… Read more
someone would ring to rectify my concern properly well 2 days later here we are and no phone call.... absolute crap product and poor customer service again and still dont have a working oven ... not happy will never buy an omega product ever again
Good afternoon Ted, thanks for reaching out to us regarding… Read more
A total of 4 faults across 2 new ovens, all the same fault. This is one dodgy product **UPDATE** – This oven, model OO654X has had a fault with the heating element, the 4th fault with this model. This is the second oven we purchased from.Omega, same model in the space of 1 year. Both have had same faults. Customer service said it's out of warranty, a service call out fee of $179 to repair it. This is unacceptable. An expectation of the service… Read more
of an oven is at least 7-10 years I don't know anybody replacing an oven every two years. Considering that this is the second oven with the 2nd fault (or a total of 4 faults across 2 ovens) surely this is a known issue?. There is a fault and as such a product recall should occur. I've raised a case with ACCC. This is not the end of this Shriro.
**Update** Received a call from the Sales Manager, who was very helpful and humble. His explanation with the operational issues they are having internally reassured me that OMEGA (Shriro) weren't intending to leave me out in the cold. The business is 3 weeks behind operationally (Pandemic problems that we're all facing). They're endeavouring to solve the issue with this oven for me which has improved my perception of the business. Thanks for helping OMEGA (Shriro)
warranty not honoured – dishwasher came with new home construction Aug 2018. Heating element died June 2020 and was replaced Sept 2020. Lasted 8 months and is on the blink again with regular intermittent E3 error and dishes not drying. Contacted service and was told it was out of warranty and that they would not assist. The warranty should apply because the original… Read more
problem was not properly fixed. Consumer Affairs Vic have been contacted and hopefully will sort this out.

Fan force element dead – So just 3 weeks after the warranty expires the fan force element died with it. Purchased on the 29/3/2019. The oven was perfect for what it was needed for sadly can't say the same about the life span of it. Will contact Omega Monday as just returned from a month away holiday. Oven in last year hardly used as we cook out on the bbq 80% of the time.… Read more
It seems this oven is not meant to last. Hopefully some negotiations are positive otherwise it be the last Omega appliance I would purchase.
Good morning, Omega will be more than happy to assist with… Read more (+1 reply)
Cheap and nasty replacement for investment properties – The 16yo Westinghouse oven in our rental property was starting to have issues with the thermostat, and due to the matching cooktop spectacularly destroying an element the owners (after several months of delay) were informed by our property manager that this was a problem they needed to address. They wished to spend as little as possible and we… Read more
ended up with this contraption.
Initial opinions were favourable. It was not only a convective oven but also had a fan grill option. Reached temperature quickly, quiet and despite the small cavity (my iron skillets don't fit in this oven with the door closed as in the Westinghouse) perfectly suitable. Until one day I came home from work and my wife said "I think there's something wrong with the oven"
Three months in and the first failure. The fan had ceased working. Omega claim their product is "European made" but it's made in Turkey - as far from Europe as you can get while still being accurate (I hope the factory is on the Western side of the Bosporus Strait). Property manager needed to prod the owners again to rectify it. Appliance serviceman was very cheerful, identified the problem but didn't have a spare in his van as "we don't deal with this unusual brand often"
Several weeks later we have a replacement fan from Omega but the whole house reeks of burnt industrial oil when the oven is operational. Replacement is loud and clearly audible in the next room.
Would not recommend.
Stay away from this oven – We have owned this oven for 18 months and heating element is gone. At the time we bought it there were not many reviews of this oven and since we renovated whole house we decided to go with Omega oven. Just have a look at range of experiences people have with this ovens and spare yourself pain - these are not built to last. Show details
Terrible, another heating element issue – Bought a new house with Nicheliving, did not get the chance to pick an oven as it came as a package. After 2 years and 3 months without frequent use of it, about once per fortnight or even less sometimes, heating element is gone and it is out of warranty. This seems to be a common issue and they are not doing anything about it. Show details

3 years 6 months – Owned this oven for 3 years and 6 months before the heating element of the fan-forced oven option died on me. This is definitely not from heavy use as I only use the oven once a fortnight. I'm just appalled that this seem to be a common problem/issue with this particular model and that 3 years and 6 months is all I can get out of an oven these days. Show details
Don’t buy this oven – I have just had a repairer out to replace the fan element for the second time in less than three years. Otherwise it is easy to use and is cheap. Show details
Too confusing to use – Im not satisfied at all with the oven. It takes ages to heat up, you dont even know what setting to put it on as they arnt labelled, and if you wanted to find an online users manual, you cant! Because there is no product code on the oven. Show details
This oven looks good but that's about it, won't touch omega again, failed us three times in three year's. Rubbish – Twice the element failed out of warranty, then the temperature switch went. Dont know what happened to this brand just don't make them like they used to I guess. Will not be buying or recommending this brand again. Show details
Oven is not reliable – Purchased Feburary 2016. 2 years and 9 months later the heating element ceased working. Although 9 months out of warranty, Shriro replaced the element without charge. There was no hesitation to repair under a warranty claim and I was happy. Now 12 months after the repair, the complete oven has stopped working - no fans, no heating, no lights. I… Read more
rang Shririo and asked the question - Should I expect an oven to last longer that 3 years. The reply was yes...... great then under Australian Consumer Law, I can expect a repair, replacement or a refund as the unit unit was not "durable" and that the unit had failed within a resonabely short period of time. It appears that Shriro will not fix the oven. Needless to say I won't be buying another Omega Oven.
This oven is a disgrace! – We live in a reasonably upmarket rented apartment, and when the previous oven finally broke down just over a year ago (Jun 2017) they got the Omega to replace it. Of course they got the cheapest thing they could find, and we have to live with the inconvenience. Here are my findings: - Pro The temperature heats up pretty quickly It has a… Read more
range of oven, grill, fan and so forth settings
Con
You can't read the dials without a torch and looking close up, its an all-black panel
It cooks unevenly front-to-back
We are not sure if the temperature is accurate - haven't tested but last night's roast got way overdone!
The real deal-breaker - its not self cleaning, more like self-dirtying. Every single time you cook a roast you need to clean the oven. Unless of course you want burnt meat fat fumes to spoil your next bake. It ends up with puddles of liquid grease on the roof, walls and bottom surface.
Fat from the meat gets vaporised and lands on every surface. If you open the door you get a faceful of hot greasy fumes. Plus a kitchen full of smoke, enough to set the alarm off.
Maintenance issues
This is described as a Wall Oven, but our cheapskate management installed it under the bench. So to clean it we have to take the door off its hinges every time (find instructions on U-Tube).
Then I have to get down on the floor to access the interior. Note I have taken the shelves and wall racks out the day before and left them soaking overnight to loosen the grease.
Then to clean the door cavity window you have to unscrew and remove the double glass panel so you can get to the inside surface, otherwise you are left with grease, drips and cleaning stains in the viewing window.
Conclusion
This appliance is an utter DOG!
I don't have proof of purchase but have uploaded the Instruction manual with item bar code attached.
Pretty Good – This is a great oven it has loads of features and works perfectly it has a nice stainless steel border and tempered glass windows which gives it a great asthestic and premium look. The food in the oven cooks evenly and perfectly unless if you set your time wrong. I have had one issue with the oven and thats the light it died once but we later fixed it. Show details
Horribile it does not work – This oven is terrible. It doesn't heat up well and food does not get cooked properly. Don't buy. For example I baked lasagne at 190°C and after 30 minutes they were still cold. I had another omega oven before and it broke down. Very bad brand ... avoid buying it. Show details
Not too happy! – At the end of the day the food gets cooked, however it's the oven that makes your cooking experience different! I find that the oven heats up quickly which is great, however there isnt an oven only option. It's either fan forced, grill or fan grill only. If i put the oven temperature up choose the light only option, the oven doesn't heat up.… Read more
Therefore i have no choice but to use either fan forced or the grill options. My point is, I'd never buy this oven again as it doesn't suit my needs.

Great Oven – This oven heats up very quickly and cooks food beautifully. You can do everything from browning to grilling and fan forced and it only has 3 dials that control the oven so it should be easy to clean. It is very spacious inside and very easy to use with a really sleek and modern look. l look forward to experimenting with all the cooking options this oven has to offer. Show details
Good for low mid range oven – Cooks food good, heats up fairly quickly & retains heat quite well. It is easy to use and the timer function you can set it to turn off automatically after a given period of time. Bit of a guessing game with the temperature dial not being fully numbered.but for the price well worth it. Show details
Cooktop Oven Package – Choose this model because we it comes in a package for a fair price. Cook top, oven and ranghood. It looks really modern and does the job. Have a space in the oven. Quick to heat up and not too noisy. The only thing is only have a short warranty and Harvey Norman cant extend the warranty under product care.. Show details
Great Oven at a Wallet Friendly Price – I've used amazing ovens and average ovens. This one is fairly in between - but overall im quite happy with it. Cooks food great - retains heat quite well and heats up fairly quickly. I also really like the timer and the fact that you can set it to turn off automatically after a given period of time. Show details
Great Value – I bought this in a rush to get my kitchen done, with an Omega cooktop and range hood also. I have found this oven fantastic. It is so easy to use and the timer function is my go to, I set the timer and the oven turns off when the time is up. Though you can set it to manual so it stays on till you turn it off also. It's easy to clean and wipe down,… Read more
and comes with one tray. Heats very well, I usually drop the temp by 5-10degrees then what is recommended. Found it very easy to install also.
Very Stylish Unit Simple to Use – Found this oven very easy to use, I like the griller tray not too large separate tray easy cleaning, the dial features are simple to read, I like the idea if you don't have the timer on the oven wont work, so you can turn on and leave it, it turns off when timer has finished,cooks all your favourite meat's successfully.. Show details
Looks stylish with out the hefty price – This over was purchased from The Good Guys. We were renovating a kitchen and we replaced a free standing stove with both an omega cooktop and the under bench oven. We paid approx $450 for the oven. We have used it a few times now and ts great. it cooks food thoroughly and is quick to reach temperature. Has been easy to clean also. It has basic functions which is all we needed. For the price point of this oven you really can't go wrong. Show details
Good oven for the price range – I'm happy with the way it distributes heat around the oven. I bought this one as it is easy to clean and if need be I can get the glass out too clean both sides. The fan has started to become a little noisy. The oven is quite simple to use. l like that the timer beeps for quite awhile so you shouldn't miss it if you are outside, I found a… Read more
lot of ovens had a very short time beeping. I like that it also plugs into a PowerPoint, to make upgrading the oven a lot easier. 3/18 The silver has started to wear off the two knobs on the oven not very happy about this!
The element at the of the oven need replacing twice. We have a new oven now
Not a bad oven for the price – This oven was purchased to replace an amazing previous Bosch oven that lasted for over a decade. It was a pretty good price, and had good reviews, but after testing it with my cooking (I bake frequently) , I have noticed that temperature is not quite distributed equally throughout the oven and the food has to be rotated and shifted or some corners… Read more
will be undercooked and some overcooked. I'm also not too big of a fan of the temperature dial not being fully numbered as it is a bit of a guessing game. One big plus for this oven is the timer, which dings snd switches the oven off at 0. This is seriously helpful if you are going out and only want your oven on for a few more minutes.
