We love doing the dishes and cooking, but sometimes the older appliances can be a bit of a pain. We are big fans of Kitchenaid appliances, but what’s so great about Smeg? In this blog post, we compare both products to find out which one is our favorite.
The first thing we did in order to figure out the difference between these two brands was make some chocolate chip cookies! The butter was easy to measure with the kitchenaid scale, and because it has an interchangeable whisk attatchment you can use that for eggs too! To measure flour with your Smeg scales you have to switch it over and then put flour into grams which takes time. The kitchenaid is for measuring everything!
Next we made a Swiss Roll cake with the Smeg oven and found that it took a little longer to heat up to temperature we wanted. The Kitchenaid is programmable and we love how you can set it to turn on and off at certain times, saving energy. You can’t do that with your Smeg oven! It doesnt have any programmable features.
We decided that once we’ve made our cakes, cookies and brownies, drying them was the next step. The kitchenaid definitely takes the prize here as it has an excellent fan-assisted drying system which blows hot air all around your dishes as they dry. The Smeg has no drying feature, which means we had to use a dish cloth! This was very time-consuming and tiring.
Now for the fun bit – using our appliances to make a delicious dinner! We started with some homemade pasta using the Kitchenaid attachment for our mixer. This was SO much quicker than making pasta by hand and gave us a wider range of shapes than we’ve ever been able to make before. We could also easily switch between attachments while cooking, which made things super easy! After our pasta was complete, we decided to make fresh pesto in the kitchen aid and some homemade tomato sauce in the Smeg device.
Do Smeg mixers last forever?
The Smeg appliances are all made out of the same materials as the Kitchenaid dishes; they are made from stainless steel and enamel. So it’s not going to be that different in the long run to have one or the other, both will last with proper care.

Smeg mixers are mainly for cooking and baking, so you probably won’t want to put them in your dishwasher. They can go in there if you don’t mind that they might get lost, but we don’t recommend it.
Do Smeg mixers have as many features as Kitchenaid ones?
No, Smeg mixers don’t have many features. They’re more for baking with, so you can’t do to much else with them. Your kitchen aid will be able to do SO much more than a Smeg mixer that it’s not even funny.
Do Smeg mixers come in different sizes?
They all have the same size of machine, they all take the same amount of space. It’s pretty much just to make it look more appealing when people are selling them.

Do Smeg mixers need to be greased?
Might be worth putting some extra butter on the gears, but other than that no. They should run just fine if you’re not too crazy with them.
How big is a Smeg appliance?
They’re about the same size as most kitchen aid. The maximum size is about 19″x21″, so they really aren’t that much different!
If you’re looking for a mixer which has a lot of attachments and is good for more than just cooking and baking, then this is probably the one for you! It’s got lots of different features and it’s programmable to boot, so we recommend it if you want something high-tech and powerful.
Do Smeg attachments fit all models?
It’s not that it doesn’t fit all or any models, it’s just that Smeg just released a new series so you’ll need to check whether the one you’re buying is compatible with your device.

The KitchenAid is much more powerful than a Smeg appliance and it lasts longer! It can run for around 7 hours with a full load.
How long does a Smeg appliance last for?
Smeg appliances are great for baking and cooking, but not so much for anything else. They can only run up to five hours before the temperature gets too high and the dish overheats.
Does Smeg make alot of noise?
No, they don’t make any noise which means you can use them whenever you want without worrying about how long they will take or how noisy they are. It’s a great choice if you want something that works well but isn’t too loud.
Why Are SMEG Appliances So Expensive?
They are not! They are of a great quality and can help you bake, cook and make so many things that they’re actually a great investment. The price range is actually much smaller than kitchen aid products, which makes them more attractive to buy.
Final Thoughts:
We are very impressed with the quality of both appliances, and they have many great features to make your life much easier in the kitchen. So if you’re looking for a cheap new mixer which will last a long time, then you should definitely choose Smeg. If on the other hand you are looking for something which has many more features than Smeg and is cheaper than Kitchen Aid, then we would definitely recommend choosing one of their products.
