Poor Oven Poor Services from Belling

published

The oven runs very very hot, the following items have been replaced more then once. And has been a on going issue for almost a year. Seals, Thermal switch x 2, inner and out glass, cooling fan and light have been replaced. Currently the grill does not work, water leaks from the bottom oven and the gas takes along time light. Belling Customer care has been poor and no follow up unless I call.



Purchased in March 2021 at Harvey Norman for $3,500.00.

It's a struggle

published

A very good looking oven & suits our kitchen perfectly. Heats up quickly and cooks well. Unforunately we had had an issue with the smaller oven & steam escaping, this issue eventually caused the deterioration of the enamel on both oven & griller doors (left side). This was rectified eventually after a lengthy wait (initially reported in July & repair completed Dec). The same issue has now re-reappeared and there is also a random issue with the ignition of the burners. Reported to Belling (March 2020) and no contact from the local repair company to date. I'm afraid we are in for another struggle....
For the price paid I cannot recommend this product on quality or after sales service.

Great product. I love it.

I have been using this cooker since 2014 and I have not had any issues. Fingers crossed. My wife is definitely a fan of Belling products. The rangehood is amazing too. We bought them as a package. The oven is very easy to use and the heating speed is fast.

Don't understand the complaints!

published

We've owned our Belling now for nearly 6 years and love it! If we finally bite the bullet and redo the kitchen, it will be around this oven. Day to day we use the single oven but come Christmas, Easter and special family gatherings, we work this thing over with multiple roasts on the right and dessert on the left without a hitch. If I'm going to criticise anything it's that the wok burner, that I understand is better in the new model, isn't hot enough to actually wok cook. Otherwise, this is a solid purchase.

Unreliable appliance, absent customer service.

published

I've had this oven 4 years. In that time, the rear right hand element stopped working, smell of electrical burning, oven racks distorted and the ceramic top is discoloured despite proper care. Best of all, when company was emailed I received no response. Very disheartening as I thought I was getting a quality British built product and the price isn't exactly cheap.

Purchased in March 2021.

Junk - don’t waste your money

published

We purchased our Belling Stive about 12 months ago. We like the look, it went well in our home. That’s where our positive impressions end. It’s junk!

Poorly made, poorly designed. Nothing fits together properly, sliding drawers / shelves keep failing, burners light one day but not the next. Everything about it feels cheap and nasty. It’s like paying for an exotic sports car and receiving a cheap Chinese runabout!

Save your money. Don’t buy Belling. Cheap and nasty crap!

Cooks nicely and looks good

published

Brought the older style to match our house. It was on sale like around 40% off so got a good price and it came with gift cards as a promo. After we brought it someone told us we would regret it because they are unreliable BUT 8 mths on and happy to say the opposite. It's a bit fast/hot but cooks things the best out of any oven I've owned. It's been easy to clean and I like the 3 different sized sections, they are fantastic. Nil problems at this stage.

Worst oven ever!!!

published

I decided to replace my 10 year old oven with what looked like the perfect oven, the Belling Richmond 900DFT. The oven was so hot that it melted the side cabinets next to it. A very unsatisfied customer, buyer beware. It’s a dodgy piece of eyesore that’s destroying my kitchen.

Easy to use and set up highly recommend it it heats up quickly and easy to use sleek design affordable cooks food evenly takes time to heat up when grilling would recommend doesn’t use much power. The front glass door gets hot and wouldn’t recommend using it around kids they might burn them selves on the glass

Hello Sharyn, Thanks for the review glad you like your belling appliance, in terms of the glass it isn't double glazed so we recommended leaving the cooking to the adults ;)

No complaints!

This free standing oven is amazing. We purchased it in our new home as we have an open kitchen. Not only does it look stylish ( we think its the best visual out of them all ) But the food comes out with perfection. Very easy to use. Very basic manual and also has great reviews and comes highly recommended. I have an acquaintance that has also bought this after having a sophisticated dinner at mine. Heats up really quickly! No complaints as yet!

Richmond 90cm BR900DF

I’m really keen on the Belling Richmond 900 duel fuel in black but you have mixed reviews.
Is the any difference with models or frequency of issues with doors warping etc?
Would love to purchase but want to make sure as it’s a significant investment in our kitchen Reno.
Many thanks, Paula.

Ours is 6 years old and we still love it. They have a new model now that looks like they've addressed the couple of issues that I see others talking about. They've changed the design of the door, for example.

Sharkey
Sharkey

If they have fixed the long door (RHS) warping that would make a big difference. I am still concerned however that IO have contacted both the Belling dealer in Australia as well as the carefree criminals who sold it to me (Harvey N__man) and am still unable to get any after sales service. Maybe you should establish a relationship with the after sales service people through whoever is selling to you before you pay.

Hi Paula, Thank you for reaching out to Euromaid, We are delighted to hear you love the Belling range as much as we do, The new Richmond Deluxe series is a new platform and the door structure has been updated, so no warping issue, please let us know if you have any further issues thank you
