Smeg’s dishwasher range has continued to evolve over recent months. New machines feature upgrades to usable dishwasher capacity, wash performance and even enhanced energy efficiency.

The Smeg dishwasher range has been completely renewed, so if you have never considered purchasing a Smeg dishwasher before, now is the time to give it some serious thought! Attention to detail and careful consideration has been taken in order to produce the best dishwasher range yet. Inside you can find a new visual aesthetic with many models featuring striking blue parts including handles and supports which highlight key changes within the machine.

Several improvements have been made throughout these new dishwashers, including the inner door. The new flatter inner door design has allowed for an increase in basket size by 2cm. In the centre of the inner door is a new improved detergent dispenser with a sliding lid for much easier access which can now house the largest sized tablets available on the market. The curve above the dispenser, allows water to be pushed through the dispenser much more effectively, ensuring total dispersion of the tablet, liquid or powder. The lower basket can also be pulled out with greater stability due to the improved shape of the grooves in the door.
The upper basket is now stronger, more linea in shape and its design has been improved to better accommodate a mixture of different sized cups, mugs and glasses for easier loading. Together with the Flexiduo basket above (on some models) this allows optimum use of the space.
Glasses are kept secure throughout the washing programme thanks to the new designed stem glass holders which have a minimum touch area, stopping any movement. These improvements also offer increased stability for tumblers, larger glasses and mugs.The best possible wash results can now be achieved thanks to revised jets. These can be found on the upper and lower part of the centralised spray arm and the inner ducts of the upper spray arm. These allows a 20% increase in pressure so water passing through it produces a greatly improved wash performance. The addition of an inverter motor (on some models) adds piece of mind, as it is extremely durable, reliable and long lasting. It also reduces noise levels creating an altogether quieter appliance. Other features found in many models in the new range include; total aquastop, A+++ energy ratings, dry assist, adjustable upper baskets, flexiduo 3rd cutlery basket and 27 minute rapid wash cycle.

Smeg dishwasher models are available in freestanding, integrated or semi integrated built in designs, full sized or slimline, in a choice of colours.

Smeg has acquired fellow Italian company La Pavoni, a manufacturer known for its high-quality professional espresso coffee machines.

In a strategic move for both brands, the acquisition will see the two companies sharing industry know-how, while Smeg says that both firms will “continue to create beautifully-designed products whilst re-enforcing the strength of a ‘Made in Italy’ ethos.”

A statement about La Pavoni from Smeg said: “Competing in a high-end market, the company philosophy combines attention to product quality and care for refined aesthetic – not at all dissimilar to the approach Smeg has for the craftmanship of its own appliances.”

A striking collaboration between Smeg and award-winning South African photographer and film producer Filipa Domingues has resulted in a range of limited-edition fridges depicting imagery of four indigenous plants.

Leading up to her first solo exhibition, Filipa Domingues has transformed four Smeg fridges into functional works of art, entitled Kigelia Africana, Aloe HB Barbed Wire, Impala Lily and Proteas. The CheckMyPlants Smeg retro FAB28 fridges feature the four plants against a black background.

“Smeg has always had deep passion and appreciation for the arts and the opportunity to play a part in the creative expression of such a talented South African photographer is an absolute honour,” explains Steve Brookes, Managing Director of Smeg South Africa. “It goes without saying that Filipa’s enthusiasm in capturing all things rare and unusual in an effort to drive a greater appreciation for our environment is commendable.”

The CheckMyPlants Smeg retro fridges are currently available exclusively to the supporters of Filipa’s Indiegogo fundraising campaign, where all proceeds will go towards the funding of her CheckMyPlants solo exhibition.

Smeg’s Vacuum Drawer

combines high technical properties and an elegant design, and it can be used to seal solid and liquid foods in a highly efficient manner. The product can be totally integrated to Classica, Dolce Stil Novo and Linea collections, and uses a special technology to remove up to 99.9% of air automatically, compared to the traditional process, recorded through a special sensor. The Vacuum Drawer is made in stainless steel with a lid in tempered glass, combining resistance and aesthetics. The drawer is only 135 mm high, and the lid can be tipped to 65 degrees, making it more practical to use, and has self-blocking slides to avoid it closing inadvertently. The ample drawer capacity means that it can handle food in single and double portion sizes. Another feature of the Vacuum Drawer is the option of 3 air aspiration levels: “delicate”, “medium” and “high”, plus the “chef” function for marinating and maturing foods. Bags are sealed, according to preferred intensity, in a two-stage phase, to prevent incomplete sealing. Smeg completes the product with a wide range of bags and containers to preserve and cook aliments, made from food safe polymers of the highest quality, PVC and BPA free.
