I would go for Bush over Smeg any day of the week!

To be fair this smeg cleans itself up. It's a toss up!

Yes it can, ignore the naysayers. Fuse rating is 13A, aka normal BS plug rating. As long as it is a fused plug it meets all regs.

At Checkout "Add voucher"

Anyone had issues with their Smeg oven, mine just started locking itself and going into a pyro clean lol, very frustrating when you have your family lamb cooking inside at the time !!!

That's great, Good luck :smiley: mine are still in storage until our kitchen is ready, so I haven't been able to check them. Let me know what you think when they arrive.

Likewise here now!! they offered me a bosch pyrolytic oven but said they had found one and have scheduled delivery for me....hope its not refurbished or something

wow some shocking stories here on how B&Q have treated customers who paid !!

I only came back to this thread to say I just used the Pyrolytic cleaning feature and its amazing !!!

Feel for those who got let down !!!!

Did you have any luck? If not, try the complaints dept email, I've shown it above. Good luck

If anyone else, who like me, ordered early but chose a later delivery date and was then disappointed they'd run out.. I found the email for B&Q High Levels Complaint team
[email protected]
I emailed them and they took 10 days, but they found 2 ovens for me ! They've been delivered this morning.. Worth a go if you still want them. Good luck.

I that because you left a review of B&Q's service, not the oven?

I left a 1 star review and b&q removed it. Pathetic.

Same here. Was due to be delivered Wednesday, but it appears their systems said they had more in stock than they actually did. They ran out last week, so order has been cancelled :disappointed:

I ordered mine on the 18 Jan too, just trying to get though to B&Q again now

These are probably yours here...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=SFP372X&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

Same happened here, what a bunch of utter ****, i picked a later shipping date because i wasn't ready for it. But surely when you order it and buy it with money coming out your account it should NOT be assigned to another customer who buys it after you. I ordered it at 10pm on 18th Jan

Thank you, I'll try that

Same here, I was told its called a ghost order, insist on speaking to customer management team, mine was sent from a B&Q store in a member of staffs car, check if there's any stock in store.

I'm livid, we had a text yesterday to say oven would be delivered this morning, phoned at lunchtime and was told the van was stuck in traffic. Just phoned again after waiting in all day and been told it's out of stock!!! Currently arguing with customer services about a replacement. Not impressed with their customer service!

Funnily enough the electrical had had another faulty Smeg recently though not this model.

B&Q called centre said stock had been put on hold meaning it can't be sent out but he didn't know why.

Yeah I've called Smeg. The engineer is calling back Monday so fingers crossed I won't have to get a refund from b and q.

See post 132, similar thing happened to me, insist on speaking to Customer management team, I had my oven delivered from a store eventually, can you check to see if they have stock in a store.

May be worth claiming against the manufactures warranty 2 years I think

Well I've just an electrician out to install the oven (£25) and it turns out it's faulty. Have called b and q who are saying it's now discontinued so they can't give me a replacement. Not pleased.

Not sure but I thought if goods are offered for sale and then you buy them and they then take payment, an agreement has been entered into by both parties.

Mine was arranged for delivery tomorrow. I ordered this on 19th Jan, payment taken, delivery booked. Today I received a phone call saying it was no longer available and would not be delivered tomorrow.

They would offer an alternative, but only within £30 range of the original, which excludes the other Smeg pyrolytic single oven on there. After a 2nd phone call, they said they would match the £115 off but even then the other Smeg oven (which seems to be almost identical feature wise) would be £315, instead of £185 for this.

Can anyone advise where I stand? Am I basically screwed?

It's extremely frustrating as I have cancelled plans for tomorrow so that I could be in to receive the oven. Shocking service!

You can blame that on the people who originally chose the kitchen and decided that they needed two. One unit died some years ago so we threw it away, then the other died so replaced it with one a friend was getting rid of. Fine for function but it has always looked rubbish ever since, having an open gap where you can see the cabling and crusty plastering at the back.

I know they're cheap but two ovens in one kitchen?

My two have just been delivered as scheduled when I placed the orders. Having just had the worktops replaced as well the kitchen is going to look infinitely better now with these in as well.

Massive thanks, sparkylicious.

You read the manual ? Must be honest very rarely RTFM

Used it yet, BM? The manual says it can be set to 280C for pizzas. Dying to try that with a good home-made pizza dough. My present oven - inherited with the flat I bought - is utter ****.

Update:
Now arrived after a call to CS a delivery contractor turned up, only item on the van dropped it off in the Kitchen unpacked fantastic, just wired it in. :smiley:

No call here - turned up at 7.30am (1/2 hour before slot) but I'm not complaining!

1st call "be with you in 30 minuets" 2nd call "Can't find it on the van" :disappointed:

Mine's due for delivery tomorrow morning.

Tried hard wiring mine and nothing is working. Tried it with a 13A plug in a normal socket and it trips the mains.
Time to call the professionals, hopefully not a faulty one.

Two received today.

Mine just arrived. Here's hoping it's a standard size to replace my existing naff one.

text received , delivery time slot given for tomorrow , :smile:

Im getting mine delivered to work, hopefully it will fit in my ford ka!

thanks , its now 12:45 and I have nothing to confirm delivery for tomorrow as yet , maybe I will wait till 5pm if still nothing I will call B&Q.

Wasn't sure I'd actually get one given some of the 'buyer beware' posts in this thread about B&Q. I placed my order just before stocks ran out. They took the money on the 21st and I got a text yesterday saying delivery would be between 8 and 10 this morning. A two-man team arrived ten minutes ago. It'll be about three weeks before the fitters arrive and the oven gets installed.

I got a call 5 minutes before but its up the road. They did text over 24 hours before a time slot.

mines due for this Friday delivery but no contact to confirm this as yet , when do they call you to confirm delivery? the day before actual delivery ?

I got my two yesterday stored ready for my new kitchen in my house renovation. Mind they are all packaged up ive not opened and wont for a few weeks. Anyone comment on how these look and operate yet? Still a bargain :-)

Hi all, mine arrived this morning, not had chance to open it yet.

Any more delivery reports? Cholent - did you get yours? I'm hoping that mine will actually arrive on Friday.

I'm interested in the oven and could collect from Bath, unfortunately HUKD's will not let me send you a PM with my details?

PM now sent.

I've been trying to enquire re. my order all day but their computers are down. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Thank you, my order was about 9am

8.46am on the 19th

Do you remember what time you placed the order?

Anyone heard anything from b&q yet?

Just been delivered, as i stated earlier i no longer want/need this, if anybody wants it let me know by the end of the day, failing that it's going back to the store tomorrow.
I work in Corsham, Wiltshire or can be collected from me at my home in Bath

Mines due to be delivered tomorrow, i'll post an update when/if it turns up, don't think I need it now anyway so even if it does turn up it'll be going back to my local store for a refund.

All equipment placed on the market within the E.U. since voltage harmonisation in 1995 should operate satisfactorily at voltages within the range 230 V +/-10%.

Do you think Smeg would rate it at 13A and supply it with a plug if it was unsuitable? Do you think they have taken diversity into account?

What if you used a 13A fused connection unit? According to you the fuse wont be able to carry the load.

What if you install a dedicated circuit rated at 15A? The unit is rated at 13A so you're not installing to the manufactures spec.

I'm interested to hear your solution.

Even basic maths will tell you that 3KW will be just over 13A. 3000/230 = ???
Also this is fixed equipment.

Not a great start did the order appear in your online account?

Not looking good for my order due on Friday then :-(

B&Q what a shambles, money taken from bank account for oven & hob, delivery arranged for 23rd Jan, got a call on 23rd but driver at wrong address 3 hours away. Spent 2 hours on phone this morning, now being told oven out of stock pick alternative or cancel, why was payment taken if no oven in first place. Waiting for a call from higher up at B&Q. Listened to so much double talk, my head is spinning

Can I be the first to say - I'll have it! Could you PM me your location if you're interested?

Keep me informed. I ordered for delivery on 10th Feb, the last available date, my kitchen won't even be finished till April lol

Seen this all before, wait for the cancellation emails

I rang to try and change my delivery date, but there was no other slots, if they took your order and payment gone through you should be fine

Smeg 4 Burner Cast Iron Gas Hob

What hob did you go for?

What hob did you go for?

Ordered oven on 1 order, hob on another order, couldn't get delivery dates the same so rang B&Q, both being delivered this Sat, as £15 code wouldn't work on 2nd order they have given me a credit for that amount, money put into my bank account yesterday.

You lucky get. I feel mine will get cancelled as I asked for delivery to be on 28th Jan.

if its one thing I learnt over the years using this site , its,,,,,,,,

Keep all of your advice to yourself most of the time and some of your advice to yourself all the time

Correct.

I had meant that the cooker circuit should be utilised instead of plugging an oven into the kitchen ring.
As you rightly point out the oven would need protection.

I should have made this clear.

Wiring this into a normal cooker outlet is probably worse than running it of a plug.

Most cooker outlets are rated at 45A and protected by 32 -45A mcb in consumer unit.

Wiring this directly in to that gives no protection to the 1.5mm flex fitted to oven.

A decent install will have 45A cooker outlet with 13A socket or fused spur beside it on same circuit.

The main thing is that the cable fitted to cooker needs protection. Either a 13A plug or fused spur are both adequate.

you don't need to have business account to run a business - no mate not even close of being me ... I sell £5 items remember?

Because they are selling from a private ebay account, not a business one. It's you isn't it :smiley:

ohh two fortune tellers at once ... and you know that this person is not paying taxes because ...? get a grip both off you - bloke is selling ONE piece, you can't even proof he got it from this deal, judgemental t....

You just don't get it do you? This is not a site for people who want to make money, it's for people who want to save money. If you want to buy things with the sole intention of selling them for a profit then you are a business and need to register as such, pay tax and adhere to trading laws. If you don't, you're just a chancer with no morals taking advantage of a situation. Sadly, you are far from alone.

So far so good - Can you tell winning combination for Lotto as well?

I can tell from your response you are a raving chav, so im not surprised you go round trying to find things on this site to sell on for £5 more :smile:

LOL really ?!?!?! LOL

As I understand it, 3kW is ok in a socket as long as the socket is on a ring. Would also be OK on a spur from the ring, but only if there is nothing else rated that high on the spur.

Is that right, sparkies?

It's just taking advantage of a situation out of pure greed. Like people who defraud old people out of money over the phone, are they just people who saw an opportunity and should be applauded?

nothing shameful in that ... the whole world buy cheap to sell for profit ... you buy food in supermarket or direct from the farmer? you work? your company make money on you? well done to the person that saw an opportunity

I did state it wasn't ideal but it is perfectly safe.

I was responding to the ill-informed posters who believed it would start a fire. You can also consider yourself informed.

I would suggest you change your user name to something that more accurately reflects your intelligence.

Now leave us to it, the adults are talking.

Just because something's not a crime doesn't mean it's not morally repugnant.

It's a shame more people don't realise that.

I am sure I would see some sparks or worse if you did an installation. Terrible advice. Stick to what you know.

so??? since when it's a crime to make money?

up to 3000kw which takes in consideration top and bottom element or fan element (on the good oven there is one in there too) and top or bottom element etc.., they put in account the max combination . My bosch is rated at max 3400 and it needs to be hard wired. Used, with the plug it came with, the previous delonghi without any problems for years. I would still recommend any oven to be hardwired with a 16-20amp main unit fuse.

That loads seems quite high for a single oven, usually they are 2kw in my experience.
Yes a plug is OK, though it's not really best practice, you wouldn't normally have an immersion heater on a plug, would you? I know you can, and I have done, but items like this which are drawing high currents for long periods of time can potentially show up deficiencies in wiring with the plug or socket.

Now you've got me thinking. Some people are fans of Candy but I would always put Smeg over Candy.

Correct. The load is 3000 W max. Therefore 13A. The ignorant should not answer people's fair questions.

​So it's Smeg over the Bush every time? :confused:

Done.

'Dear Ibrahim, would you take £185 for it as that's what you paid?'

Split the cable and wire it up to two plugs, wire one to an extension lead on the upstairs circuit. Should split the load well. *disclaimer, try at your own risk

Absoluelty wrong. Likely a 13A plug and socket nowadays but shunts or extension leads.

Still happy with my deal well worth it. I get 3% quidco off the extra total i paid.

2 ovens gonna make cooking a breeze! (Ironic)

Got in just in time by the looks of it. Thanks OP!

not even that, warranty might not even be transferable

And here they come...

back at £300

gutted it's oos. this would have been perfect!

Confirmed out of stock and discontinued by helpline.

For those struggling to use the £15 code twice, you need to do two separate orders, using two different B&Q accounts (with different email addresses). If you don't then the second time you try to order will either result in an empty basket as you log in or it won't allow you to use the discount code.

I did that so I could order 2 and get both for £185.

Out of stock.

Why?
It's a single oven and it specifies 13A fuse rating. Of course it will work (and be compliant)

Its before you click on checkout, scroll down to bottom of page.....I found it by going back from checkout

The £5 code worked on 2nd order.

Don't hold your breath! I "bought" a similar oven last year from B&Q. They kept my money for over 6 weeks and on the DAY before delivery was due to take place they rang to say they didn't have item and offered a crappy, low quality alternative.

Anyone else having problems ordering? Have it in my basket but get to a page in the checkout process I can't continue from - the title of the page is Item(s) Undeliverable. Possibly OOS?

I just put through as one applied and quidco

I was looking for a new oven to replace an ancient clapped out one and this is ideal! very good price including delivery so ordered one and all went through OK at £185!! Bargain

Great find. New kitchen being put in in the next three to four weeks so, if the order is honoured, I'll be very happy to get one. I have a delivery date for the 28th.

B&Q's checkout system is a nightmare. I had to do the whole thing three times. Just getting the item into the basket - you have to click the 'Home Delivery' box - is enough to send you nuts.

Anyone recommend a decent gas oven?

Watch out as B&Q have previous of cancelling cheap ovens ordered after the last offer on here in 2015 without any reason, as I found out

Cheers OP. Hot deal, ordered :smiley:

I see the experts are on... :laughing:

If the cooker comes with a 13A plug it can be plugged in. The cooker itself is rated for 13A supply, so it should be fine to plug in to a 13A socket without hard-wiring.

anyone got any ideas how to install it?

Hardly. It would just blow the fuse.

Ordered! Thanks OP!

Awesome deal... other 'top end' brands are more than double this price.

Just bought 2 - great find!

Voted cold as it's a fan-less oven and then when you open those doors its like opening the gates of hell.My previous fan ovens where a lot more safer to use.

Many (but not all) domestic ovens only draw 13A and therefore are fine on a standard plug and socket. The B&Q page for this oven states that it needs a 13A supply.

You may be getting confused with an electric hob (or an electric cooker including both hob and oven) which usually do require much more than 13A and therefore need a dedicated high-current supply.

ordered, this is just what I need. Thank you! deserved heat.

hot :stuck_out_tongue: going to check kitchen to see if I can replace current free standing cooker, prefer to change to a higher oven to save kneeling down.

thanks op - ordered

good luck people with B&Q!

Just what I was waiting for , my 10 year old stoves blew its top , so ordered this , awesome !!!

thx OP

HEAT

​I fitted a pyrolytic oven a few years ago that came with a flex and plug on it. luckily I checked the rating plate (which is on the inside of the door for anyone that doesn't know), and the oven required a 16 a supply. it would happily run with a plug top on it, but I don't have to explain why it's not right. as a sparky, you should never assume anything.

I bought an AEG pyrolytic oven to replace a Smeg oven that broke every 18 months at least, the AEG wouldn't fit under the existing hob, no L shape on top of oven, cost a fortune to move gas pipes, check dimensions/shape.

Pretty sure they'll honour this, as it is clearly advertised at that price! It isn't a mis-price.

Wonder whats going on at smeg? I'm getting my £110 smeg electric fire delivered next Monday from B&Q.... pretty sure that was a mis-price (back to £297)

We went rented a flat in Italy for a week and the kitchen was kitted out in Smeg. The oven looked very similar to this one but was wider. The appliances all look great from the other side of the room, but the quality is shocking. Clunky to operate half of the appliances didn't work properly despite being almost brand new.

Definitely get Miele over Smeg any day.

Very Hot

Excellent find

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP-nHj9Jnwc the process takes 3 hours. Can someone advice what are the dangers involved if any??

Also, it had a 13A plug and never had any problems with it

I had a SMEG pyrolitic oven until I moved last month and loved it, seriously tempted by this deal. This deal is hotter than the oven gets when you run the pyrolitic function

Does this work with a 13A plug or need hard wired?

HHHEEEAAATTT !!!

Bargain!! Perfect timing for new kitchen! Ive ordered 2 instead of a double oven! What a price! Big thanks!

has had a smeg, just had to buy a different one, mine was self cleaning last weekend and when i went back in the kitchen the inside glass had shattered. would not have another one, now gone back to bosch

Likes this review from another site.

Good Points+
It looks nice

Bad Points−
blew up after 12 days after one pyrolitic clean

I take it this is an integrated oven? forgive my ignorance but are all single integrated ovens the same size the way something like integrated washing machines are? we need to replace our God awful Bowden's integrated oven.

Ordered
Heat :smiley:

I have a Smeg dual fuel cooker, previously I've had Indesit and New World which were all still perfectly usable when I sold them on.

This cooker has been a nightmare! One gas hob doesn't light (after around a year) - Smeg weren't interested when I phoned their Customer Service.

Then the rubber seal around the oven fell off (it's secured in a few places with metal prongs glued into the rubber). So I bought a new one, cost me around £15 and has lasted about a year since the first came off - opened the oven door after cooking and that one too, broke!

I really don't think Smeg are well made or use quality parts. Just my opinion. I certainly wouldn't buy anything from them again.

Think you mean ring main wiring is capable of supplying 32A.
A 13A socket would melt with a 32A load.

Nice find, thanks

Fantastic find op, if it's honoured. Very tempted.

I see Bush for about £120,is this worth the extra dough?

Yes its a fan oven, just checked.

Correct, as long as the spec is within 13A then a normal UK fused plug can be used.

'Circulaire fan function distributes an even temperature across all 5 shelf positions, enabling multi-menu cooking and saving you time and energy.'

I dont think you will regret it anytime soon

But does it cook ok?

Gone for it. My oven is dire. Here's hoping they honour it.

Is there a matching hob? How easy are they to install?

Thanks, it didn't give me an option to add a voucher anywhere, still ordered though as it's such a good price :smiley:

ideal...ordered thanks....fingers crossed it turns up.
just need a hob to match next !

I got that feeling it will end up like last time when bosch pyrolitic oven was hugely discounted and b&q has cancelled all orders... mine was cancelled without any notification... good luck:)

Might be being daft but I can't find anywhere to add the discount code?

great find... 30-40% cheaper than anywhere else

http://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=3418428

Refurbished

Not really. Use the code mentioned above and its £185 inc delivery.

https://www.smeg-outlet-store.co.uk/index.php?mode=product.view&product=8026
Official site is £1 cheaper if you're willing to pick it up...

I've noticed b&q knocking out a few good bits of smeg in the past few months.

I'd be tempted with this if we didn't have a fitted double oven.
