Tom's Guide Verdict

I loved testing Smeg’s newly launched SMF05 stand mixer. It was a breeze to use and felt sturdy and reliable. I also appreciated the introduction of the speed sliding control. It is an expensive appliance, but comes as a hot second to KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer.

Pros

+ Sturdy appliance

+ Large bowl

+ Smooth speed control

+ Stable in use

+ Consistent results

+ Hub for attachments

Cons

- On the pricey side

- Heavy
