Can anyone help me choose which colour for the new SMEG air fryer??

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

Blimey some bloody mean replies on here. I love a bit of smart design and of course there are alternatives that are way cheaper but you’ll see it if it’s on a counter so why on earth would you not go for the most stylish option? I agree with not going for the Matt option though. Matt really shows up any marks. I have a smeg toaster and kettle and it’s my second smeg kettle. They are things of beauty and when they croak I will replace them with similar.

I like the green!

msmillicentcat · 23/09/2026 11:45

I love it! Blue for me.

Georgieporgie29 · 23/09/2026 12:01

Green
blue
white
black

in that order.

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

I have a Smeg fridge. I didn't get it for the label but for the colour.

Same. It was the only brand that made a blue one.

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

On the assumption that you are sneering . . .

I would not choose a white gloss kitchen with grey worktops, myself.

However, OP might be renting; she may have bought a house which came with that kitchen and doesn't wish to rip out a serviceable kitchen and pay for another one to be fitted. The house might be a new build which came with that kitchen - lots of reasons why OP might have a white gloss kitchen (which may or may not be to her taste).

I like the smoke blue colour, OP.

Why are so many posters on MN so nasty?

@pigmygoatsinjumpers , you shouldn't assume anything. Smile

What on earth is wrong with white gloss and grey counters?! Our house has those (installed by previous occupant) and I absolutely love it. It's so light and airy and beautiful.

Barney16 · 23/09/2026 23:59

Blue. I have the filter coffee maker in blue and it's gorgeous

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!

It’s no prettier just because it has the word Smeg on it 😂

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 24/09/2026 00:17

The blue one

watchingthishtread · 24/09/2026 07:11

Green.

So what was the point of your comment?

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 24/09/2026 09:05

I think they're all a bit boring TBH. My SMEG toaster is the crappiest toaster oven ever owned though. And the kettle's not much better.

I like the storm blue. Thank goodness someone has designed a nicer looking air fryer!

TurquoiseGoldPeaches · 24/09/2026 10:40

It’s sold out dude.

TurquoiseGoldPeaches · 24/09/2026 10:42

White’s the nicest.

pinktube · 24/09/2026 10:55

Looking at the design and how the lid opens, seems to me this can’t sit flush to the wall, as it will bang on the wall when lifting lid, something to think about

A Wonder Oven would solve this. Mine sits with its back against the wall.

You've been asked to explain what you meant by:

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

So are you going to tell us what you did mean if it had not been your intention to come across as sneery?

Thegirlwhowent · 24/09/2026 19:28

Please explain to me why you'd pay four times the price to have Smeg written on an appliance? I know this sounds like a criticism but it honestly isn't. I just don't understand why people pay more for certain brands.
