This review is great for ppl who want their appliances functional as well as esthetically pleasing! Cute is cute, but the lid on that coffeepot is rediculous, paint peeling, cant have a matching color set.... THANK YOU SO MUCH for you honest review dear

[@milliemullen6595]

The button on the right side of the toaster is the bagel option which toasts one side, you need to face the sides you want toasted away from the middle for this. Hope this helps!

[@MrHamcake]

This is the best review video in KZbin for smeg appliances. Thanks for making it. Very practical insights about your daily use of these products. Happy that you showed the negative aspects, even though you're a fan of the brand.

[@LifeInCanada]

Thank you. Glad it was helpful.

[@jasonbaffour2634]

A real customer review. Well done

[@LifeInCanada]

Thanks Jason.

[@jstones9872]

The toaster does toast bagel only on one side, if you operate it correctly. Push the bagel button and turn bagels cut side out. That's it. Such a great toaster. 4.5 our of 5 stars on Amazon thousands of reviews.

[@flourchylde]

I am so glad I watched this before I bought a Smeg coffee maker. Thank you so much.

[@vintageseafinds7208]

Love the Retro Style!! and Colors... Thanks for the reviews.

[@peterssss5396]

The bottom of the kettle is a result of calcification. A by product of boiling water process. Expensive or cheap, you can't avoid that. You can do descaling to help.

[@noojood1]

I had a cheap kettle that lasts for 4 years without calcifications although i dont have water filter

[@gustavibrowzinbehrd3871]

@@noojood1 Good for you not to have calcium and magnesium in your water. Many of us don’t have that luxury.

I've been wanted the coffee making for awhile just because it's cute but for $230… thank u for the review will save my money

[@LifeInCanada]

Glad it was helpful

[@paulacurran3091]

Thank you for providing this. I know Smeg is very expensive and the design is so cute. But at the end of the day, your appliances need to work properly. Shade difference is a concern, but the big concern is the peeling of enamel from the kettle. I appreciate knowing your experience with this brand. Thank you again for posting this information.

[@LifeInCanada]

Hi Paula. Yes, the appliaces are cute but the quality is not worth the price in our opinion.

[@lauranilsson1270]

This is the best review video in KZbin for smegs coffemaker!!! Thanks a lot ☺

no really! buy cheap more expensive! .. i am buying the tea kettle😊

[@jasonraymond7208]

I found this review very helpful. Good point about the weird shaped coffee pot that can't pour into its own reservoir, so poorly designed for such a expensive unit.

[@LifeInCanada]

[@bee3027]

Thank you. I want to buy the coffeemaker but I cannot decide what color to get. I do love the mint green, but not sure I should go with a more neutral color.

[@def1ghi]

Your review is in line with most of what other people say about Smeg: form over function at a high price premium. Thanks!

[@LifeInCanada]

Thanks. Glad it was helpful.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

It's complete GARBAGE, worse than a scam! 140 for a toaster that BROKE out of the box?? A fool and their money are soon parted!

[@regisrocroy9565]

Very bad first customer experience with 2 of 3 SMEG appliances acquired in Dec. 2022. I had to replace the kettle one month later and now I have to replace the coffee maker which causes an electrical malfunction in my new kitchen (check was done by an electrician). Definitively lack of quality / reliability. Good design is not enough...

[@LifeInCanada]

That sad indeed. With improved quality control it could be awesome appliances.

[@mystyleeasycooking]

Wao beautiful and very useful items nice colour good choice

[@LifeInCanada]

Thank you so much 😊!

[@brixandblooms]

That's good to know about the colorss; glad I chose black. I love my toaster. I remove debris after every use, no build up. Good to know about the coffee maker temperature. That sucks.

[@LifeInCanada]

Yes it is. Our previous regular coffee maker was making much hotter coffee.

[@joshuajooste]

Hi , the color black does it leave fingerprints on the appliance for smeg??

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

For 140.00 you could have bought a much better product and still had at least 100.00 left over. I'd even go w something cheap like Aldi. Or take a cheap one and paint it w engine black paint. Assuming it doesn't get hot on the outside...

[@pamhernandez6565]

Great genuine review. I do believe for the amount of money one put into these appliances (‘cause they are not cheap) the should have better quality and design. Thanks for your video!

[@LifeInCanada]

Glad it was helpful. We love the design but the quality should be better indeed.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

That's a TREMENDOUS overstatement. I laughed MA off in BB n B for what they wanted for this CRAP. Huge mistake to spend 140 on a Chinese toaster that NEVER WORKED ONCE. If you want colors, use a heat paint on a cheap 25.00 toaster that doesn't get hot (earlier ones get hot on the outside). I've never done this, but no reason it won't work if you use heat paint. Like engine paint.

[@kmac3110]

[@LifeInCanada]

Thank you

[@lauralaforge558]

I don't have any desire to switch from my go-to brand (Breville, along with KitchenAid/Vitamix), but on your kettle, have you tried to put lemon wedges and boil to see if the bottom comes clear?

[@LifeInCanada]

Not sure if we tried. These brand you mentioned Breville, KitchenAid... are much better quality.

[@user-bt2ef3nx4x]

Oh, thanks for review! I was about to buy a personal blender from smeg, now I changed my mind

[@LifeInCanada]

Glad it was helpful.

[@Eric19401]

Thanks for the review. Apparently the Smeg products are just attractive, but probably operationally inferior to my much cheaper kettles.

[@thespiritfont2023]

I own all three but in off white. I can say when you buy SMEG, you are buying the design and brand but you wont be buying innovation, quality is good but for price I expect more. I will say, in OFF WHITE, all colors match even though I bought them separately over long periods of time ❤

[@adelebz7]

I am planning to get the SMEG but only using Fidji water.

[@taylorcobb425]

Hi. Great video. Where can I buy the replacement filter for the kettle please.

[@964964limkyung]

you can replacement filter from amazon I think and you can also kettle from amazon too

[@gustavibrowzinbehrd3871]

I’ve had the kettle for 3yrs, so far no chipping and still looks brand new. we use almost every day. Also love the coffee machine. Using the carafe to fill up the reservoir is a little funky but not that big of a deal. I’ve been filling it that way for yrs pretty easily. I think people just enjoy complaining nowadays.

[@sweetiesmith]

Not everyone has the same experience. Way to go Debbie downer.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Their toaster was the biggest mistake I ever made. 140 for plastic GARBAGE is insane. Never. WORKED ONCE.

[@leadinglady19]

Hi, what colour is this? Is it the light blue or green?

[@sacphilip]

It's unfortunate that most settings are absent on these appliances. Also the different colors is ridiculous

[@LifeInCanada]

Yes, for that price you would expect a better quality and functionality.

[@uglybeard1194]

Thanks for the review. Looks like coffee machine is of the best quality from them all

[@LifeInCanada]

Yeah I guess you're right.

[@yingyodsawadi9052]

I'm also not impress with the quality of SMEG. I advised friends not to buy 😅

[@LifeInCanada]

Yep. Not worth the money you pay for the brand.

[@lauralaforge558]

I would have been surprised if the review had been that they are high quality. They look like toys, not tools.

[@user-fq9ve8oi5o]

Hi,there I am planing to move to Toronto soon but I have difficulty to find a proper school and place for my kids. Could you advise me?

instead of coffee pot, why don't you use vase that has pour shave like - which will help to pour the water into the machine?

[@LifeInCanada]

You can use other things no problem but isn't pot supposed to be for that?

[@cockiecat4440]

@@LifeInCanada not really although you have a point

[@964964limkyung]

​@@cockiecat4440 oh also having limescale in kettle should do (should watch instruction how to remove the limescale on KZbin) descaling with lemon with water or baking soda with water to remove limescale, to cleaning any expensive color small appliances should gently wiped with soft damp cloth and then gently dry off with again soft cloth, make sure each time use the toaster-empty the crumb tray ( it looks brand new , doesn't matter what age of small appliances - if often do this way )

[@wayne02058]

Nice review

[@farouksheikmadar9027]

Thanks for saving us money on ridiculously expensive appliances that don't even have any gold on them.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

The one I got was 25.00 out the door. Just silver but works fine. Browning knob clicks if you don't want to accidentally burn your toast when you bump it while moving it around. For whatever reason, I also don't have to clean it as much as the overpriced KitchenAid silver stuff, which im.ALWAYS cleaning! No black/silver appliances--NEVER TF AGAIN. Until I'm rich and someone else can clean them up every DAY!

[@sakamoto5195]

People have been manipulated by social media to purchase these plastic junks. I was given a smeg toater and I’m trying to find a way to clean it. It’s not easy. Tooth brush did the trick. These things are just for show. There’s plenty of items out there that work better.

[@LifeInCanada]

Yes. We are pretty disappointed with the Smeg quality. It looks great but performs bad.

[@theminicooper]

These are soooo expensive and offer no real feature for that price other than the retro look.... It's unfortunate. 350$ for a coffee machine that has the same functions as a 25$ one.... No thanks lolll Enjoyed your review :)

[@LifeInCanada]

Thanks. Glad you liked the video.

[@cockiecat4440]

Squeeze a lemon inside the kettle, fill it up with water, drop the lemon, turn the kettle on. Once it's done leave it as it is with the water and lemon inside for about 6 hours. You'll thank me later.

[@sarahhabermehl2873]

I wanted the Smeg coffee maker for about a year and finally got it for my Birthday. I hate it. It’s not functional it’s not a good design, the buttons can be confusing. I’m sending it back 😢

[@LifeInCanada]

Unfortunately it’s not the best product for the price.

[@toni4729]

I bought only the coffee maker and I will never buy another SMEG appliance. It simply isn't worth the money. If you want coffee, you want to have coffee to last, not to go cold. Thank you for your opinion. I paid $250 in Australia for mine.

[@LifeInCanada]

Glad it was helpful.

Terrific review! I refuse to buy any of these products because the name is almost identical to...... something unpleasant. I know it's an acronym, but to emblazon item with a huge, unpleasant sounding brand name is bizarre. Every time I'd see the name, I'd think of this.... unpleasantness. So, no thank you.

you sure the left kettle is real smeg? :)

SMEG Fridge out of warranty is WORTHLESS, for a landfill site near you. Don’t. SMEG Toaster, Kettle ok - Fridge Freezer will ‘cost’ you around GBP1200 -1500 over 4 years and that is ridiculous. They just see you as a mug to join the company income stream. Be Warned!

[@mariarudina1224]

Operated and overpriced for some retro design

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Bought a toaster from BB n B for the INSANELY overpriced 140.00 USD! It was ALL PLASTIC! Which tells me I'm being scammed immediately. Weighs nothing, you could see it getting yanked off the counter by a kid or a pet w no effort. That tells you NO right away. YES, phones weigh nothing as well as other items that are artificially weighted on purpose to maje you feel like you're getting a deal. It seems to correlate w how much you spend. I have a B n O stereo where the remote would kill someone if I beaned them with it. This thing was cheaper made than a KID'S TOY. NEVER WORKED ONCE!! You have to plug it in or apparently you won't get the electric resistance to make it go, but even then, yjust a cheap, Chinese SCAM! If you want a pink toaster, buy engine/hot use spray paint (the outside will be cold in most modern toasters, anyway) tape it off and try that.

[@user-dt9gk7gm5j]

Чё?

[@JesusTheMightyGodMinistries]

Your complaints are unreasonable. You need a change of perspective. It is your attitude. You need some Jesus to enjoy what God blessed you with. You need different eyes. By the way, The coffee pot is never meant or designed to pour water into the coffee pot. It is meant to hold the coffee. The way you complained about everything was all about the way you use them and clean them. It is not Smeg’s fault. You are supposed to clean the calcium build up on the kettle and not blame the kettle. The toaster you didn’t do it right and it is your job to clean it after each use. The paint chip inside the rim of the kettle is a long term wear from the hot water. It did not chip on the outside. Smeg is for certain people who wants to enjoy fine things. Please stop making Smeg sound like they make bad appliances. You are sending customers who desire to buy them away from it. Not good.

[@LifeInCanada]

That's a funny comment. We simply shared out experience with the Smeg appliances. In our opinion for the price should be a better quality. What perspective or attitude you are talking about?
