When we think of kitchen appliances and gadgets, one of the first things we prioritise is efficiency instead of style or aesthetic and rightly so. However, Italy-based luxury brand Smeg has set out to challenge this school of thought with its curvy, pastel-coloured kitchen appliances that are vastly different from anything we've seen in India before. The brand's been around for 70 years and is known for its distinctive colour, design, and technology. No wonder everyone globally has become fond of the brand—I mean, look at these cute little products, I could just hug them! From coffee machines to blenders and toasters, whether you are interested in the classic Italian design, or simply looking for an appliance that gets the job done, there's a Smeg product to accommodate your needs.
Of course, as is the case with any luxury brand, you should be ready to dish out some serious cash if you are planning to get a Smeg product for your home—the prices start at INR 20,000. So, here are alternatives to 6 of their bestsellers that harbour the same elegance and function but at affordable rates.
