Smeg SMF05
4.8L tilt-head, Pastel Green SMF05PGUK
Editorial review Reviewed 21 October 2026 How we assess products
The Smeg SMF05 combines its retro look with convincing cakes, meringues and occasional enriched dough. Four supplied tools include a flex-edge beater, making it less likely that you need an immediate extra attachment. The exact pastel-green UK SMF05PGUK has a 4.8L bowl and 1000W rating. Allow 49cm above the worktop with the head raised. The head-release control can be fiddly and the 9.77kg body is heavy to put away. Its 2.1kg dough limit assumes no more than 1.3kg flour and at least 55g water for every 100g flour; whisking starts at two egg whites. The Kenwood kMix is a simpler-value alternative, while the Ooni Halo Core better suits regular pizza dough.
