Everyone knows SMEG – they’re the ones who make those huge great fridge freezers that really look the part aren’t they?
But do you know any more about this brand than that? If you don’t, not to worry, because our guide to SMEG appliances should help you find out everything you need to know if you are thinking about making a purchase from the SMEG range.
What types of kitchen appliances do they make?
They have pretty much everything you could want to put in your kitchen. Their fridge freezers have that unique SMEG look, while they also now have a great range of ovens, hobs and hoods as well. If you like the design that they offer then getting all your kitchen appliances from SMEG will certainly give your kitchen some undeniable style!
Why do kitchen appliances by this brand fit the bill?
If you know anything at all about SMEG you will know that they are very stylish. Indeed some people buy SMEG appliances simply for this reason alone. Having a SMEG fridge freezer is something of a status symbol!
But of course if they weren’t good enough with regard to quality then they wouldn’t sell as many appliances as they do. So with this brand you are getting an instantly recognisable appliance, as well as some great features and styling that will last and look good in any spot in the kitchen.
Are their appliances very basic or more advanced?
You are definitely looking at the more advanced end of the market here. For example, you will see features such as pyrolytic cleaning on many of their ovens. If you are looking for the latest advances in kitchen appliance technology, then you will probably find most if not all of them in SMEG’s current range.
As you would expect they are among the more expensive appliances on the market. But at least you are buying better quality appliances that will give you a lot more versatility for that money, and not just a well known brand name.
Is their website very informative?
Yes it is. The home page is nothing if not minimalist! But when you hover over products you will be able to select either the catalogues or the new products they have in store.
They have more than one range in the catalogue section, which is a good way to introduce you to what SMEG sells. Pick the main range and the next page will show you a picture of each type of appliance, along with a clickable link underneath it. Click on the one you like and wait for the next page to load.
You’ll see that they give you a chance to narrow down your search choices on the left of the page. But if you just click the ‘go’ button you will be able to read everything they sell at the moment. This is often the best bet for starters.
You will then see a chart with all the available products in that type of kitchen appliance. For the fridge freezer, just to provide you with an example, there were well over a hundred options! When you see something you like the look of, just click on the product number on the far left.
You will see a picture of the appliance on the right side of the page, but this is coupled on the left with bullet points featuring many of the main features of that product. This will give you a good introduction to what you should expect from it, but don’t disregard the links on the right either.
There is a technical drawing which provides you with all the measurements you will need to be aware of. Also there is an instruction manual which is exactly the same as the one you would get with the item if you were to go ahead and buy it.
You can also compare different appliances in the same range with the aid of the product group technical sheet. This might be a bit much information for some people, but it is good to know it’s there.
In conclusion
So you can see that the SMEG name is more than just a name. It leads the way to a whole range of stunning kitchen appliances that not only look the part, they act it as well.
If you want something that really stands out in your kitchen for all the right reasons, then SMEG is probably the best brand to go for.
