    We actually do have a 900 wide smeg oven. It is awesome and definitely much bigger. We had Christmas at our house a couple of years ago and managed to cook 2 chickens, a turkey roll and two big trays of veggies all at the same time!

    Oh, and I've found that it the best oven I've ever had in terms of being able to cook things at the exact temp and time a recipe says rather than having to adjust things according to my oven.
    Oh that's really good then!

    I was just going by what our smeg rep said, but that's a couple years ago now so they must have changed.

    I know the temperature is exact hey! Is it wrong to hug your oven??

    Agas and rayburns have more than one oven so you can bake multiple items at different temperatures
    Just sayin'

    Maybe the total space is similar but it has more usable space? All I know is we can fit two regular size oven trays on each of the two shelves. However, I will say that there isn't much space between each of the shelves, so if you were cooking lots of 'tall' things you probably wouldn't be much better off. (I think we brought ours in 2010 - it was the 'old' model so we got it really cheap).

    I love my oven too

    I've got a 60cm Miele in my new kitchen and it is just the bestest ever. He cleans himself, adds water if I want a bit of a moisture function, is capable of coking at very low temperatures so he's a slow cooker too.

    In my last house I had a 90cm Ilve and I can get just as much into my Miele. I originally chose the 90cm oven because I thought it would get me so much more space (and its one of the biggest in terms of litres on the market), but it became one of those things that once you put say a roasting dish in, there wasn't really room next to it for a casserole dish with the cauliflower cheese say, so something to bear in mind if you want more space. I've also had a smeg in the past too and didn't like that one at all.
