To not buy Smeg products

[frostedviolets]

Because the name reminds me of smegma?

Seen a gorgeous pink coffee machine I really want but it has the word 'Smeg' slapped across it in massive letters and everytime I look at the machine and I see the word and instantly think of knob cheese and it's really putting me off buying it! 🤢

My mind goes straight to Kryten and SMEEEEEEEEEG Head.

Used to have a T Shirt with that on. Must did it out.

I’ve got the pink toaster, green kettle and blue coffee machine. I love the colours too much to mind about knob cheese.

Or saying BOSCH every time you slam the washer door

yanbu
plus the products are shite.

I know what you mean, but YABU, because I love my SMEG range cooker and I really love my SMEG kettle. You can feel how good quality and well made it is.

I think the same way. It would be like getting a washing machine with the word 'wanker' written all over it.

By the same token I always gag a little when I see Boursin cheese in the supermarket.

I have a gorgeous Smeg kettle called Meg. So called because the 'S' fell off

And I've had it forever, so no qualms about the quality here.

We have a Smeg gas fire. It has never occurred to me that anyone might associate my sitting room with knob cheese .

You see I want to own everything Smeg because I am the Red Dwarf geek's geek!! But YANBU because your reasons mirror mine :o

@NewYearNewTwatName

It's Kryton.

Not being an ass but as a Dwarfer I really couldn't let that go!!

They're only fair quality. They're just LARGE and it makes them seem better than they are.

I bought a bright red SMEG fridge mainly because it had SMEG in huge letters on it !. Just my 5th form sense of humour I guess. Still makes me chortle every time I get the milk out to make a cup of tea.

YANBU to not buy Smeg products. Definitely a case of style over substance as they are poor quality.

@ PyongyangKipperbang as a fellow dwarfer I can’t let it go that it’s actually Kryten not Kryton. Sorry.

PyongyangKipperbang Not a problem. For the life of me I couldn't think how to spell it as I've never had to before and never read it either. I'm dyslexic so just had make it up.

YABU to buy a smeg coffee machine.

Don’t buy a coffee machine for how it looks. Buy it for the coffee! Get a Delonghi bean to cup, amazing coffee, no faffing, and no thoughts of penis gunk.

You need to make coffee in the Vietnamese way and with condensed milk. It beats any machine in the world. But that's by the by...

You know you can buy stick on letters for stuff yeah? Mine would have to become Smegma if I had one. I love the look but my kitchen is too small so I can't do this with my life.

I do, however, drive a Sheldon Cooper

Yes, I can never go to Scunthorpe for the same reason.

You're not at all unreasonable, I would make the same association.

Please think beyond the ideal pink coffee machine! That is fashion. In a couple of years even if it wasn't called, "Smeg", you'd be getting fed up with it. Also it might have gone wrong a few times in that period.

(This is coming from me who has had a 'George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machine' (known by family as the 'George Formby), which died, as they do, replaced by a 'Hairy Biker's' one which is also deceased;, replaced by a (reliable) Russelll Hobbs;

a Ready Steady Cook liquidiser which has sprayed me with fruit/veg&anything else (soup) mixture every time I've used it.)

I’m on my second Smeg retro fridge freezer, so I reckon now 15 years in of living with that word in my kitchen. I knew what it meant when I bought the first, you don’t notice it after the first errrr five minutes.

Oh and the fridge freezer accessories are shite quality, the seals tear apart and the bits inside break easily, but the motors last forever.

my smeg cooker (came with the house) is absolutely shite.
am saving to replace it...
