Smeg Dolce and Gabbana small appliances make an art gallery of your kitchen

If you want to spice up your kitchen with color and design, especially if you’re a fan of Italian ceramic designs, fill it with as many Smeg’s Dolce and Gabbana-styled Sicily Is My Love appliances as your budget allows. Following the earlier introduction of Sicilian-themed major appliances, the Italian collaborators have announced a line of designer countertop devices.

Cost is always an issue with kitchen renovations. The $50,000 price tag for a Smeg and Dolce and Gabbana refrigerator is at least a logarithmic step beyond what most people would ever dream of spending on a fridge. Fortunately, the new small appliances don’t come with five-figure price tags.

For example, the Smeg and Dolce and Gabbana 4-Slice Toaster lists for $850 and the Stand Mixer has a $1,500 retail price. Smeg hasn’t announced prices for the full line, some of which will launch in Spring 2019.

Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Stand Mixer, $1,500


The Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Stand Mixer has a 5-quart bowl with a helpful handle and ten mixing speeds. The whisk moves in a planetary motion for thorough, even mixing. The mixer includes a wire whisk, flat beater, dough hook, a spatula, and a pouring shield.

Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Citrus Juicer, $650


The motor in Smeg’s Dolce and Gabbana Citrus Juicer starts automatically when fruit is placed in the bowl. During the reaming process, a strainer separates pulp and juice. The pulp remains in the bowl and the juice dispenses through a stainless steel spout.

Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Blender, $850


The Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Blender has a 6-cup pitcher and a detachable stainless steel blade. The blender has four speeds and three preset programs: Smoothie, ice crush, and pulse.

Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Slow Juicer, $1,500


Use the Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Slow Juicer to extract healthy juices from fruit, vegetables, and nuts. The intentionally slow squeezing technology minimizes heat while preserving flavor and nutritional value. The slow juicer has a lever that adjusts the density of the extracted juice.

Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Electric Kettle, $650


After admiring the Smeg Dolce and Gabbana Electric Kettle, you might as well heat water for tea. This electric kettle has a 360-degree swivel base and shuts off automatically when water boils and the kettle is lifted off the base. The lid opens slowly so the steam from boiled water won’t release quickly in your face.

Roborock Saros 10 vs. Roborock Saros 10R: which robot vacuum is better?
The Saros 10R dock

The Roborock Saros 10 and Roborock Saros 10R are two of the newest robot vacuums on the market. Featuring similar price tags but some strikingly different features, it could be difficult to figure out whether the Saros 10 or Saros 10R is a better fit for your home. Thankfully, you really can’t go wrong with either one, as they’re both premium robots designed to automate your floor cleaning needs.

However, there are a few key differences that could make one a slightly better match for your floors than the other. Here’s a closer look at both robot vacuums to help you decide.
Pricing and design
The Roborock Saros 10 costs $1,600, as does the Roborock Saros 10R. They look quite similar too, with a standard rectangular dock and circular robot body that’s sleek and slim. The Saros 10 uses a retractable LDS on the top of the unit (which looks a bit like a circular dial) while the Saros 10R doesn’t have this protrusion at all. There are also some big differences when it comes to the underside of the devices, as the 10R uses rotating mops, whereas the Saros 10 uses a vibrating mopping plate. But no matter how you cut it, both are great-looking devices.
