The name Smeg is synonymous with design. The company’s most iconic products are the retro range of fridges which are available in a veritable rainbow of colours. But did you know Smeg also manufactures a full range of sleek, contemporary appliances? The brand’s cooking, cooling, dishwashing and laundry appliances are simply sublime.

For many years Smeg has been a popular choice for cooking with our customers, as the company offers style, quality and functionality. Historically the Smeg SC336X and the A42 models have won the vote of many purchasers but as times change so does the Smeg range. Just look at the range of Smeg cookers on offer today. Let’s take a gander at one product in detail – SC336X’s replacement, the innovative SC436X-8.
So what’s so great about the SC436X-8?From the Cucina range, the Smeg SC436X-8 is a 60cm wide frameless built in oven. It is electric and offers fan cooking for more even heating and reduced warming times. In fact, this model now has six functions including:
- half grill
- full grill
- half width grill with fan element
- full width grill with fan element
- circulaire – combination of fan and the circular element gives uniform heat distribution with no cold spots and 10% faster cooking than a normal oven
- snowflake – defrosting
With a 60 litre net capacity the SC436X-8 has 18% more usable space than previous models so you can cook more without taking up extra kitchen space.
In stainless steel the oven looks simply stunning and if you’re worried about fingerprints there’s no need, as Smeg have made this product finger friendly to prevent unsightly smudging.
As standard the SC436X-8 comes with a roasting and grill pan with grill mesh, a chrome shelf and a roof liner.
I’m sure you’ll agree that Smeg isn’t all retro – the manufacturer offers a range of quality, contemporary appliances which perfectly fit the modern kitchen.
