Smeg’s new 50’s Style Retro 3-in-1 MultiGrill proves kitchen tech doesn’t have to look clinical. Wrapped in the brand’s unmistakable 50s-inspired design aesthetic and available in red, black or cream, the MGF01 blends old-school Italian style with genuinely smart functionality. It may be one of the most versatile benchtop appliances of the year.
Powered by a 2000W heating system, the MultiGrill shifts effortlessly between contact grill, BBQ and oven modes, making everything from toasted sandwiches and burgers to steaks and waffles fair game. Independent temperature controls for the upper and lower plates allow precision cooking from 60°C to 230°C, while the dedicated sear function delivers serious heat when needed.
Smeg also includes interchangeable grill, griddle and waffle plates, all finished in PFAS-free ceramic coating and fully dishwasher safe. An LCD display, cooking presets and integrated timer add a layer of convenience that elevates it beyond a simple sandwich press.
The removable drip tray helps reduce excess oil, while the compact footprint keeps the appliance practical for apartment kitchens and entertainers alike.
Available at JB Hi-Fi for $449, the Smeg MultiGrill sits firmly in premium territory, but for style-conscious buyers wanting performance with personality, it’s a standout addition to the smart kitchen category.
