Brand new oven does not work properly
The SMEG customer service for QLD is fantastic, which is worth an extra star.
Brand new SMEG installed today - read the instructions before even turning it on. Followed instructions for first use to a tee and after 1.5 hrs just barely warm. Tried every cooking setting - same results. A few times it wouldn't even start due to open door - which was definitely closed. Now the internal light is still on despite turning the oven off hours ago. The two knob navigational system is cumbersome compared to some cheaper brands. Good amount of cooking sp...Read more
ace inside considering the shorter size. Called SMEG customer service re the heating issue - quickly confirmed via phone that it is a warranty issue. A quick email of the invoice while on the phone and a service job was logged with the closed service technician. Very happy with the customer service - just bitterly disappointed that a brand new $5000 oven doesn't even work out of the box and seems to be a not an unusual issue. First appliance we have ever gone "top of the line" for after 10 years with a no name brand oven that worked just fine and died a natural death. We were limited with choices due to the cavity space available but honestly we should have gone a cheaper model. Pretty disappointed, hopefully it can be fixed. If it can be fixed and works really well, I will consider changing the star rating.
Purchased in September 2021.

Good oven but misses being great
First the bad. The controls were designed by a deluded person who was once scared by a computer. The 'knobs' are essentially joy sticks where you have to navigate through menus each time and none of the settings get memorised for next use. Irritating not a problem. It has to be noted SMEG is not alone in perverse controls.
The racks and telescoping side rails need to be removed for a pyrolytic cleaning cycle. The Americans got past this decades ago. Easy to remove but inconvenient to replace and the side rail units have squared edges on ...Read more
round structures that can, will, and do scratch the oven interior if not properly aligned for re-insertion. How hard would it be to round and polish them? The spacing between the 3 non-adjustable shelf heights does not always work to use 2 levels simultaneously. A previous model apparently had 4 non-telescoping rails spaced better. Some of the settings take inordinately long to pre-heat. The 'solution' is to use fan forced or supercook to preheat and change to the desired cooking mode; that requires a 5 second press of the control to cancel that mode and then navigating to the desired mode, resetting the temperature, and (re)starting it. If the door is opened or ajar when a pyrolytic clean is started it shows an error code 4 after a few minutes and cancels the clean. How hard would it have been to display 'door open!'? You only need to experience this once to learn about the error code, but to me it shows a lack of maturity. Again SMEG is not alone doing such things.

Clicking noise
Recently purchased and love the oven. Great for cooking variety of food, good at various temperatures & works well multiple times throughout the day. However, now has a clicking sound while cooking which is quite annoying. Cannot ascertain the issue for it to stop. Happens at different temperatures & different settings. Appreciate some help.

Like it but long time to preheat
I like the oven as it is quiet and looks great BUT it takes a very very long time to preheat. Over 1 hour to get to 220 degrees which is obviously too long. Hopefully someone from Smeg will contact me so we can discuss if there is a problem.

Hi
Our Smeg sfpa7395x2 screen has gone blank so unable to use oven at all. It’s not very old as the plastic wrap was still on it after we moved in here - the seller of the property just renovated the kitchen before we bought the place a few months ago. I don’t have any paperwork unfortunately. We turned the power of to it hoping to reset it to no avail.

Every time I have my oven on (fan forced) for over 30/40 mins, it locks itself and turns off. I am trying to cook meat for 3+ hours, and after 40 mins the light turned green, and it then turned off. Have I changed a setting somehow, and how can I stop it from dropping heat?

At 4 months on I have become quite fond of this oven. The biggest negative remains having to remove the rails and racks for a cleaning cycle; clearly a pain. We have become accustomed to the control... Read more
