I love it and have never had an air fryer before. Our kitchen is white gloss with wood floors and light grey work tops.

Yes, Tower black 75% of the price and does the same job

Black, green, blue or white, for those who are wondering.

Out of all of them, I'd say the white.

I realise there are cheaper ones but I don’t want a black plastic ugly box in the kitchen. I think it’s cool, I’m well aware that others won’t like it!

If your getting g that one i would go for the blue or green

Those crappy appliances prey on people who care more about image than quality.

My bosses have the white one - admittedly the work surface is also white but it just looks SO boring - I love the blue

OneOpalOwl · 22/09/2026 22:52

I’d go blue or green, they might be sold out though??

24Dogcuddler · 22/09/2026 22:52

Storm blue.

SeptemberRains · 22/09/2026 22:55

I’d go for the blue.

It’s 50% ugly black plastic box anyway. £200 to cook a few oven chips? I’ll also stick with my black Tower, thanks, as it’s cute and curvy as well as cheap.

What's more it doesn't have a giant S M E G blazoned across it.

White gloss kitchen with grey worktops? Oh dear, this must be a joke thread.

InterIgnis · 23/09/2026 00:55

Out of those options, matte emerald green or matte storm blue.

Tamtim · 23/09/2026 06:25

Wait and see if it’s released in pink?

FlorenceBlack · 23/09/2026 06:43

Anything other than matte, it will show every little grease mark.

Yello24 · 23/09/2026 06:46

Black. White will get manky. It’s not a lovely thing so just get the most unobtrusive

Clarinet1 · 23/09/2026 07:40

I’d go for black to contrast with the rest of your decor.

jeaux90 · 23/09/2026 07:47

Black, I assume your oven and hob is black so goes with those plus there is a reason those things are black, it doesn’t show all the marks/cooking stains

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 23/09/2026 07:53

Keep it in a cupboard.
Ive rigged a pull out shelf so mine lives in the cupboard and is used pulled out in Front of the cupboard. It’s as ugly as sin and doesn’t matter.

Sahara123 · 23/09/2026 08:03

Honestly I wouldn’t spend that amount of money if you’ve never tried an air fryer. I got one as I’m in a rental property temporarily and the electricity bills are huge. It has helped cut costs but honestly I really don’t like it much and can’t wait to move into my own home and start using the oven again. I bought one in a sale, it was £180 down to £80 , thank goodness I didn’t pay more. Can you borrow one to try ?
I love the look of Smeg electricals, I bought a kettle but in all honesty the lid doesn’t open properly and the enamel is chipping on the outside so I’m pretty disappointed.

Wolfpa · 23/09/2026 08:08

SMEG are all style and no substance if you are planning on using the air fryer you are better off with a different brand altogether

Malasana · 23/09/2026 08:12

They look really stylish. I’d choose the green one. It depends on your kitchen and other colours you have in there for accents though.
Happy air frying!

Yes but whats the point in spending 200 quid for an appliance if the name isn't up front to show off to visitors?
