Smeg A1-9 Opera review
Test score %
- Dual Fuel
- 90 cm
There aren't many range cookers that look like the Smeg A1-9 Opera 90cm dual-fuel range cooker, with its massive oven cavity dominating the cooking space. According to Smeg, you can cook fish and biscuits at the same time, without mixing the flavours or smells. We sent this Smeg range cooker to the lab and put it through our rigorous tests in baking, grilling, simmering and much more. Read our expert review to find out how it got on.
