What Owners Say

My wife has been wanting a SMEG forever. Finally it was available in a large enough size that made sense. Little tricky getting it up the hill with only curbside delivery. But with a tractor, some forks, straps and lots of patience, we got her up the drive, through the field and into the kitchen. Looks great. Quiet. And has more than enough room for our needs.
Very cool looking, not sure if the freezer drawers are going to hold up, they seem very flimsy. Would not be a fit for short people.
This fridge has a deep pearlescent gleam, and is just stunning in my retro-style kitchen in a historical home. The shelves and drawers are well-spaced and ample (except in the fridge door, where the lowest shelf goes too high, and the others are a bit short). It packs a lot of space into that tall, narrow profile. Even the handles are gorgeous. It's like having a gorgeous vintage car drive into your kitchen. The ice maker is manual, but I'm hoping the simplicity will lead to long performance--you just plug it in. So excited about this fridge!
This is a beautiful appliance, but if you need one that will be something other than a pretty face look elsewhere. Ours stopped working after 4.5 years, and it is impossible to find anyone to service it. Attempts to get a response from SMEG customer service have been completely futile.
Convinced? Amazon has it for $4,299
