I have all the Smeg components in my kitchen. The very expensive microwave and combo toaster oven as well as the full size oven. The stove is the same model listed here. First let me say that the looks of this Smeg are what attracted me to the line in the first place. There weren't really many dealers but I looked around and talk to some folks that used to be dealers and they all felt that the line was a good value. In general the products were of high quality. Upon installing my units I noticed that the microwave was very loud with next to no power... did not come across as a normal operating sound. The short of it is I had to replace the unit twice which Smeg was very generous with their time and efforts on, I'll say that.  They eventually had a repairman come out and install the unit itself to make sure that it was correctly installed. No problems since but I will say that the unit is stillvquite loud and that the power settings are fairly low. It gets the job done and it is beautiful but I never use the in unit overhead broiler feature or much of the other multitude of features it has. In retrospect I probably would go with a alternative unit that might have a steaming feature for the same cost as it was very expensive. The stove is another story. It's always had issues with lighting the largest burner and has progressively gotten worse over the two and a half years I've owned the stove. The large burner with the integrated small burner is basically unfunctional now. It's simply won't work at any point. You can get the burner to light but as soon as you let go of the controls, it shuts down. It's extremely frustrating as this is the burner to cook pastas and large stews which I like to do quite often. So because the stove is so problematic and relatively new, I will give it 1 star. I've had Bosch products that are supposedly mass produced in China and they have worked flawlessly for years in my rental units. And at less than half the cost. At this point I'm thinking of replacing the stove but then I'll have a mismatched product from the rest of the kitchen which is not ideal.. They would be fantastic but alas they just don't have the build quality or quality assurance of the other products in their price range. I wish I could provide a better review...
