Smeg C6GVXA8

Pearler of a cooker. It really is.
Don't get me wrong, it has its faults, but after 2 years of ownership I have to have a rave.
The downsides is that the over thermostat isn't all that accurate and it simply won't run low enough oven or cook top temps for some things, even with spacers on the cook top. But that's just idiosyncrasies that you will get with any device. Different jets would probably fix that issue but I'm lazy.
It's pretty bare bones, nothing fancy to go wrong and is VERY economical on bottled LPG. Uses a fraction of what our ol...

have owned C6GVXA8 for only a few weeks, there is no thermostat for the oven & Shockingly ineffeciant @ cooking you cannot know if it’s reached temperature.
It really is disgusting that such a well known supposedly reputable brand would make such an altogether cheap & nasty excuse for an oven & cooktop. I don’t have to go on as problems have already been mentioned in other reviews. It’s all about looking good in showroom but the reality is cheap components & of all things you want an oven to cook properly & not have to guess when it’s come to temperature. I’m not game to even bake a cake in this oven. Top is made of very cheap metal as it is hard to clean.

We've only had this oven for a short while (a few years) and it has been nothing but trouble since the day we purchased it. Like other reviews the oven's temperature is not well controlled. Even after a service call under warranty and recalibration the oven temperature controls it is extremely uneven (even with the fan on).
We've had lots of baking failures because of it.

A few days ago it developed a really strange problem. When the oven door is opened the all of the gas igniters turn on. It scares the heck out of uninitiated. A call to ...

bought in jan 2016. the oven switch has short circuited three times already. so frustrating. cant use oven for 2/3 weeks as part is ordered from interstate and technician has to visit two times. appears there is inherent defect in design or placement of switch. we had old oven for 15 yrs not even once had any issues. just bought to upgrade the kitchen and always believed SMEG is the most trusted and reliable brand. well have to live with it.

This oven has not heated correctly since we purchased it 20 months ago I have call outs but am told the oven reaches temperature eventually.It took 1.5hrs to cook 500g lamb and the vegetables were still not cooked and they were cut into small pieces. We have had a technician out twice. He agreed the oven heat is just soft and said to preheat for at least 15 mins before cooking. The cooktop he replaced the valves to a larger size so that has helped but I have a Bosch cooktop in our main house and the flame is strong not full of orange colour.No problems cooking with this. We have had the gas plumber out as technician said the regulator could be the problem. No it was fine.
I wouldn't recommend this product

Bought this oven from good guys for a reasonable price. It looks great! Instillation didn't take the tradie long. Found temperature was inaccurate to begin with ( I used a thermoworks thermometer) had a service man come out, thought it was fixed but it wouldn't go low enough to bake a pav ( cooked it with oven door ajar). Had a second service call. It's all been adjusted correctly and now I'm very pleased with how even it cooks. The timer is silly can hardly hear it and the numbers on the dial are spaced in a strange sequence. Apart from these little imperfections I highly recommend this upright stove/ oven. HAPPY NOW

We wanted to purchase a gas/gas oven for our new kitchen, as the previous oven was all gas and we didn't have room on our circuit board for a new breaker for an electric stove. This limited our choices immediately. We opted to go with Smeg as we had purchased European brands for other appliances and realised the value for money in them.

We purchased the oven at the end of June. Our kitchen install was booked for mid-August but we were assured the oven would arrive well in time for that. We never heard anything, and in the meantime changed in...
