Viral pick: the cream Smeg toaster is the most-pinned small appliance on warm-minimalist kitchen boards. Stops the scroll on its silhouette alone.
Pros
- Iconic 50s curved silhouette in soft cream that doubles as kitchen decor on its own
- 6 browning levels with dedicated bagel, reheat, and defrost modes, and extra-wide self-centering slots for sourdough
- Matches the SMEG cream kettle and stand mixer for the full set look most Pinterest kitchens are going for
Cons
- Yes, $230 is a lot for a toaster. The mechanism is fine but not measurably better than $50 toasters; you are paying for the look and the brand, not faster toast.

Frequently asked questions
Does the bagel function only toast one side, like the more expensive toasters?
Yes. Bagel mode toasts the cut side at full power and the rounded side at lower heat, so the inside browns nicely without burning the crust.
How wide are the slots, and will they fit a thick artisan slice?
The slots are extra-wide and self-centering, and most owners report fitting thick-cut sourdough and bagels with no problem. They are sized for a typical artisan slice, not full Texas Toast.
Does the cream finish chip or yellow over time?
The body is enamel over die-cast steel, so it is more durable than painted plastic. Most long-term owners say the cream stays true after years of use, though the chrome accents need a soft cloth to keep their shine.
Is it dishwasher safe? How do you clean it?
The toaster body is not dishwasher safe. The crumb tray slides out and can be hand-washed. The exterior wipes clean with a damp microfiber cloth.
