At a glance
The Smeg Benchtop Combi Steam Oven Cream is a versatile 30 L countertop oven that combines steam, convection, grill and air fry cooking in one compact appliance. It suits smaller households and home cooks who want guided presets, broad temperature control and easier cleaning. Its biggest strengths are flexible cooking modes and long steam support, but the 30 L cavity is less suited to larger family meals.

Things to consider
Its 30 L capacity is practical for smaller households, but it is less suitable than larger built-in or family-sized ovens when cooking bigger trays or multiple dishes at once.
Small kitchen suitability
High - compact benchtop format with 30 L capacity suits apartments, smaller kitchens and homes needing a versatile secondary oven.
Cooking versatility score
9/10 - steam, convection, grill, air fry, defrost, warming, Chef Mode and 33 automatic recipes make it highly flexible for varied cooking styles.
Energy efficiency rating
Not stated - no Australian Energy Rating star value is provided in the available specifications.
Family size fit
6/10 - well suited to singles, couples and smaller households, but the 30 L cavity is more limited for larger families or batch cooking.
Key benefits
- Combi Steam Cooking: Adds steam alongside oven cooking to help keep food moist while supporting more even results across meals and sides.
- 30 L Cavity: Gives smaller households useful day-to-day capacity without needing a full-size built-in oven.
- 10 Cooking Functions: Covers steam, convection, grill, air fry, defrost and warming in one appliance for broader meal flexibility.
- 33 Automatic Recipes: Helps less confident cooks by guiding settings for a wide range of dishes.
- Chef Mode: Simplifies setup by assisting with cooking programs and settings for different food types.
- 40 to 230 °C Temperature Range: Supports low-temperature warming and proofing through to high-heat roasting and crisp finishing.
- 800 mL Removable Water Tank: Supports up to 24 hours of continuous steam use, reducing refill frequency during normal cooking routines.
- Vapour Clean System: Uses steam to loosen residue, making routine cleaning easier after cooking.
Q: Can this benchtop oven replace a full size oven daily?
A: For most small-batch everyday cooking, yes. Smeg COF01CRAU combines steam, convection, grill and air fry functions in one benchtop unit, but the 30L cavity is better for side dishes, reheating and smaller bakes than large family roasts.
Q: What can you realistically fit inside the 30L cavity?
A: A 30L cavity suits everyday meals, side dishes, reheating and small to medium baking jobs. It is better suited to compact households or smaller serves than cooking several large dishes at the same time.
Q: How often does the water tank need refilling?
A: The removable water tank holds 800ml and supports up to 24 hours of continuous steam use. In normal home cooking that usually means fewer refills, but steam-heavy sessions will use water faster than convection or grill modes.
Q: Is the Smeg combi steam oven good for air frying?
A: Yes. Smeg COF01CRAU includes a dedicated air fry function, so it can crisp foods in a compact oven without needing a separate air fryer. Results depend on tray load and spacing, so overcrowding will reduce browning and crunch.
Q: Can it handle proving dough or gentle warming?
A: Yes. The 40 to 230 degrees C range covers low-temperature tasks like gentle warming and dough proving as well as higher heat for baking, grilling and roasting. It is more flexible than a basic benchtop oven, but still compact in size.
Q: Does Chef Mode help if you are not confident cooking?
A: Yes. Chef Mode and 33 automatic recipes guide settings for steam, fan-assisted and other cooking functions, so there is less guesswork when choosing a mode. You still need to match food quantity and tray size to the compact oven cavity.
