Smeg USA has debuted two new stand mixer models in the 1950s Retro-Style line: the Forte Stand Mixer and Classico Stand Mixer.
The Forte and Classico models are designed to provide reliable and high-quality functionality with advanced features, including:
- Direct-Drive Motor: A redesigned direct-drive motor is built to power through dense mixtures easily, while the head movement mimics the natural motion of hand kneading for consistent results.
- Faster, Even Mixing: Core accessories reduce preparation time and improve the incorporation of ingredients. The C-shape dough hook pushes dough off the sides of the five-quart stainless steel bowl for bread, pasta and pizza. The new flat edge beater scrapes the bowl’s sides for faster blending with thick batter and mixers.
- Premium Stability: The company’s Steady-Mix System reduces vibrations, ensuring the die-cast aluminum machine remains planted on the counter during intense mixing. The spring-loaded system supports the motor head’s weight for gentle opening.
- Cleaner, Safer Operation: The 10-speed adjustable control features a smooth-start function that gradually increases speed to protect the motor and prevent ingredients from being ejected from the bowl. The pouring shield, crafted from Tritan Renew, maximizes splash protection while accommodating new ingredients through a larger opening spout. The automatic lock system immediately shuts off the mixer if the motor head is raised.
- Smart Culinary Support: Users can scan a QR code to access My Smeg Assistant, a digital portal that offers recipes, quick-start guides, dough tips and technical support.
Forte Stand Mixer
The full color stand mixer (pictured left) uses a 750W motor and has five attachments: a wire whisk, flat beater, dough hook, flex edge beater and Tritan Renew pouring shield for ingredient incorporation. It features chrome and stainless-steel accents and is available in Smeg’s signature palette of Cream, White, Black, Red, Pink, Pastel Blue and Pastel Green and is priced at an MSRP of $675.
Classico Stand Mixer
Powered by a 600W direct-drive motor with the same die-cast aluminum construction as the Forte, the Classico (pictured right) features a silver body and a color head. It includes four accessories: a wire whisk, flat beater, dough hook and Tritan Renew pouring shield. The Classico can be purchased in three core colors: Cream, White and Black at an MSRP of $600.
“The stand mixer has always been at the heart of the kitchen, designed to last for years and anchor a home’s culinary traditions,” said Karen Olle, marketing director at Smeg USA. “These new mixers represent the perfect harmony of Smeg’s iconic design and a significant leap forward in power and usability. By listening to the needs of the home chef, we’ve created a line of mixers that don’t just look beautiful on the counter, but provide the substance and technical advantage required to truly elevate the cooking experience.”
Smeg’s Forte Stand Mixer and Classico Stand Mixer are now available for purchase online at smegstore.us.
