$6,000 for 6 years
this is in relation to the B900IBPACK. i have always loved my oven. purchased in March 2014. the knobs have bubbled a bit but i do use it every night and do huge cook ups on the weekend for my partners lunches through the week. only the other day one of the elements went bang with a huge bright light and now wont turn back on and gives a ticking sound and flashing E4 on one element and 7 on another. i had to go through 3 companies to finally have someone come out which will cost $125 for the call out fee and $25 per 15min after that. apparently...Read more
the coil has gone and the switchboard out the back so it will cost over $1,200 to repair and will take 2 weeks to confirm if this is the error and then wait for the parts. so i will be without an oven for two weeks. when i spent $6,000 Aus on an oven and stove top i would of thought it would last longer than 6 years. warrenty only lasts 3 years which is a joke as if an oven doesnt last more than 3 years! not happy with this product at all
Purchased in March 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$6,000.00.

Worst Stove .
900EI Lovely looking stove and cooked great when it worked that is where it stops!!!! I purchased my stove in 2013 in 2016 the induction cook top was replaced under good will warranty as the warranty was just out. The induction top wouldn't turn on and when the oven was used once hot the induction cook top would turn it self on and off. at the same time I had the top replaced they replaced the door as it had rust and had warped and didn't seal properly. the front panel was to be replaced as well for paint peeling and rust underneath the pain...Read more
t but that never came with the other parts so was never replaced. Now 3.5 years on and the induction top has stopped working again with the same fault. My repairer told me it cost over $700 in labor last time plus i need to buy the part. So my Stove will probably cost me about $1000 to fix. Very Disappointed to have paid in excess of $5000 for a stove that will probably cost me the $1000 every 3-4 years to fix.Purchased in October 2021 for A$5,500.00.

A cook's delight.
The three ovens in this stand alone, 900mm wide unit offer real cooking flexibility. One oven is full height fan forced and takes readily available oven trays that allow several courses to be cooked simultaneously. While these courses are cooking there is still another oven and a griller available.
The induction top has individual timers on all five rings and have enough power to bring saucepans to boil very quickly and the controls are sensitive enough to keep contents just simmering. The cooktop is quicker and much easier to clean than gas...Read more

Contacted Dimplex agents for Belling asked for replacement not fix as only had 6 days, very unhelpful service and said not entitled to replacement, but conversations via Harvey Norman’s they agreed to replace .
The same thing happened again after 2 weeks 2 rings not working this time, Agreed this time to let them send someone out ; the induction cassette was replaced and is now working

Repairs within a week
Bought the oven and in the first two days had to report the oven knobs were raging hot. Service technician came out and said repairs are needed to replace the cooling thermostat. Seriously, it's brand new, it shouldn't need repairs. Their warranty also states repairs may be done with 'refurbished' parts. Totally unacceptable. I don't want a repair job, I want a replacement. Trying to get feedback from Belling Aust Dist.

$5,500 paid -- up for major repairs $$$
Great looking appliance however well over-priced. A few minor issues with rust developing on corners of cook top. Shelves not the easiest to move, magnets & seals not great, heat seems to escape from right oven and unit becomes quite hot to touch. Would expect a longer life than 6 years for a premium appliance. Waiting on quote for new circuit board, fans.. have been told it will be expensive. Watch this space for repair cost, will advise!

Nearly perfect
Looks great and love the clean finish
The 3 separate oven compartments are the highlight, you can use one all all 3 ovens where needed
Only things keep in mind is the power usage for all 3 can be high relative to a standard oven and unfortunately the Stainless finish is prone to scratches. We have had it for just over a month and the stainless on the cook top has some very noticeable marks/scratches.

love our oven but had a problem
We bought the oven as the center piece of our kitchen. We absolutely love the oven and induction cook top and enjoy using all of its functions. 2 1/2 years in and we were using the stove top when it went "pop" and tripped out the oven power. we reset the trip switch and found two elements on our cook top flashing a E6 error code. We contacted Belling and were initially told that our oven was out of warranty. So with some help from unhappyshopper (thank you ;-)) on this page and some research on consumer law we contacted belling again. After sen...Read more
ding them the info we had on consumer law they sent us a email back saying they will cover the total cost of the repair. Our local repairer contacted us within 2 days to order the parts needed and they came out about a week later and replaced our cook top. Over all we are very happy with the service from Belling (even though we had to show our rights) and also extremely happy with the repair company Belling sent out. We still love our Belling stove and cannot recommend it highly enough.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great product, some issues with customer service which have since been fixed.
The family had all moved out, leaving we two empty nesters with a 900mm wide oven that was no longer practical for us. The only thing that I can say is wrong with 900mm ovens is that they take a long time to heat up and that sucks up a lot of power in this day and age of not cheap electricity. Off we went to HN, where the staff were great, they explained all of the pros and cons to us so we made the decision to purchase the unit. The induction cooktop is brilliant, if there is one shortfall it is that there is only one large induction heat site...Read more
, so if you are using very large pots as my wife sometimes does, then you can only use one at a time. That aside, the time it takes to reach boiling point for a saucepan of water is ridiculously short, using the induction heat pads is a breeze. The 3 way oven is also great, no more waiting for a damn long time to reach 200 degrees, it is not induction down there but as the oven spaces are way smaller than the 900mm spaces the time taken to heat them is very very quick, and the temperature settings are spot on, so getting the required results is a breeze. I had an issue at the beginning and had a very unfortunate issue with the customer service representative I dealt with, I went to print to them and the issue was fixed immediately. So all in all a good product, which I will lean to love and which will probably become a great product in my mind, and after the initial hiccup what I now consider a very responsive customer service section that take son board what the consumer is saying and responds accordingly.1 comment
Well I hate to say it but I have been proven wrong. The Oven has failed again, that's 3 failures in 2 years and 3 months. The response from the supplier, we will cove this under warranty. I responded ... Read more
and stated my disappointment in the product and asked for an extension of the warranty, I was advised that they would consider covering any of the same failure in the future. So of 3 failures they will cover the latest if it happens again. Not good enough, a $5,000 oven that has failed 3 times that takes a week to get replacement parts to the service agent and they want to wash their hands of the problem. I have stated that either I get an extended warranty or I'm off to Fair Trading. Would I recommend the product, well others do, I seem to have purchased the Lemon of the range and I seem to have hit a brick wall with regard to customer service. If by chance things take a turn for the better I will update the post.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love the oven but the service sucks
I feel in love with this oven the moment I saw it. Took a couple of goes to master a sponge but baking days are so much easier. Service however is at the other end if the scale. Only 4 years old and the induction cooktop died a painful death. Belling wanted to charge us nearly 50% of the cost if the oven to repair it. Know your rights people. Consumer law states the expected life if an oven is 13 years, top of the range should rightly be more. And be warned they used reconditioned not new parts for repairs. Being out of warranty is not a justifyable excuse for shoddy parts if your appliance is within its acceptable life. Our oven was repaired for $150 labour cost only, a tenth of what it would have been.

The Best!!!!!!
Have had my new Belling stove for 10 months now and I do not know how I lived and cooked without it. I ca cook many trays of biscuits all at the one time, cook meat, roast veggies and have dessert baking all at the same time. Easy to clean, looks great and very efficient. Thank you Belling for a wonderful and time free appliance.

Love t!
Have only had it a month but already loving it! I was pretty dubious about the 3 smaller compartments but I've found them to be awesome.
It's a pity the main oven doesn't have selectable functions - it only does fan bake - but it does do a great job of it.
The induction top is awesome - the boost mode is lightning fast. The only complaint is that when the top gets wet or your fingers are wet it can be hard to change the controls as they're touch and pressure sensitive. Have a towel st the ready!
Be sure to leave clearance in either s...Read more
ide as the doors open slightly wider than the face and ours just touch the cabinetry beside. One thing that may annoy some people is the fact that the main big oven door is solid and not glass so you can't see what's happening while it's cooking. Something to get used to.Similar opinion?

Good investment on the whole
The induction cooker is fantastic as it allows for good control and efficient heating. However, I am not so happy with the tall oven as it has hot areas which burns eventhough it is fanforced. The telescopic rails in the small oven were wonky from the start and I made a complaint but was told the rails will improve with use but it hasn't. I am not happy with this at all.

Best Oven Ever!!!
We purchased this oven in September 2015. The oven was delivered and installed. The induction cook top was faulty. I called Harvey Norman at Cambridge Park and they sent a new oven and an electrician to install it the same day. Fantastic service - we are very happy.
The oven and stove are fantastic. We replaced a gas stove with this induction cook top. It cooks way better than gas. It is fast to heat and incredible easy to clean. No more dismantling all the gas components to wash, dry and reassemble them. A simple wipe with a warm damp cloth a...Read more

Best unit getting around
Sensational ovens (2) heat up fast, can cook a roast in the small one, 5 trays of vegetables in the tall one and grill something and use all 5 zones at once. Cleaning the top is a breeze, bit of spray and wipe away, burnt food can be scraped off with a razor
December 5th 2017 Update: Best unit by far
Still a great unit, however the knobs are starting to peel, but can fit up to 8 trays of food in it at once
As well as 5 induction zones, can boil a kettle in 30 seconds, easy to clean, all rack come out to

Belling B900i
Was a bit daunted at first with all the different settings on the ovens but after a bit of practise I am now quite confident at using this oven. Food is evenly cooked through even if all shelves are being used. Whether baking cakes & muffins or doing the Sunday roast, everything is well cooked & ready at the same time. Love the convection top, how easy it is to change temperatures & how easy it is to clean. The multiple alarms that can be set for each individual ring that is being used & how it switches itself off when the timer is up. The ovens also have their own timers which switch off when time is up. Extremely user-friendly. Also looks great.

The heart of my kitchen
This is the best oven I have ever used, I'm very happy with everything about this stove/oven the induction cooktop is fabulous I had never used induction before I got this and belling even gave me a day in their test kitchen to learn how to use it and all of its wonderful features. I would highly recommend this oven to anyone. I have a big family so cooking is really something important for us it's what makes our home a cosy safe place to call home.

Spacious!
I purchased this oven because of the two oven and the ability to use 4 shelves in the right hand oven. Cake, biscuits, crackers, bread all cook perfectly in the right hand oven and evenly even when using 4 trays. The right hand oven heats up very quickly.
The bottom left oven cooks well too. I love the telescopic shelves but they are locked in at the set positions. I have had a few large trays and my favourite lasagne dish that haven't fitted in the oven.
The induction cooktop is very quick. I like the way that it responds well to increases ...Read more

In Love
Our oven was purchased in October to go into our new kitchen. Initially I was a little anxious using the induction top as I had never used one previously. I am now 'IN LOVE' with my oven. It has a massive oven cooking area but can use the small oven when not needing to to cook much. The induction is amazing and so easy to keep clean. I have recommended them to my sister in law who is wanting to purchase a new 900 soon. Thank you Belling

Questions & Answers
PeterPasked
We purchased a Belling Sterling 900, freestanding stove with induction top B900DiB about 4 years ago. It was put in storage for over 3 years while the house was completed. It was installed with the correct cabling by a licensed electrician less than 12 months ago.
We now have the following problems in order of importance to us.
1. After using the right handed oven we either can’t use the induction top because of error messages e2 and beeping or the top right hot plate automatically sets at 9 without touching any settings. Error still occurs next day.
2. The fanned oven (bottom left) doesn’t work at all anymore and was only used a handful of times in total.
3. The frame is rusting at the joints.
We love the concept of the stove and it cooks beautifully but is rapidly becoming unusable. After using the oven we have to use a portable cooktop to continue cooking. What can we do about the faults?

BR900ICR Is the Model ( I think)... we are just now installing our kitchen cupboards around the oven. Should we leave a gap between oven and cupboards or can we put them hard up against the side of the oven. Wondering about any fire risk.
2 answers
I just checked one of the user guides and it says "This cooker may be fitted flush to the base units of your kitchen". Ours is fitted with no gap and we have not had any problems..
Candice C.Belling
Hi Maz - the Belling range cooker needs only minimum clearance to be able to be moved forward for service (should it be required) The only exception to this is if the cooker is fitted against cabinets with a low temperature tolerance ie vinyl wrap. In this instance, we would encourage you to fit a heat shield which should be available from any kitchen cabinet manufacturer/supplier.
If you do have any further queries relevant to the installation of your appliance, please feel free to visit our website: www.belling.com.au and download the installation guide and/or specifications sheet relevant to your model.
