Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across SMEG
- The retro FAB refrigerators, which are the products the brand is known for and are bought as furniture as much as appliances
- Small appliances in the retro line — kettles, toasters and stand mixers — which sell quickly and ship easily
- Less common colourways, which were produced in smaller numbers and are searched for specifically by people matching a kitchen
- Units with unmarked enamel and intact chrome, since the finish is the entire reason for the premium
What pulls SMEG resale value down
- Chipped or rusted enamel, which cannot be repaired invisibly and undermines the one thing the buyer is paying for
- Dented door panels on the retro fridges, which are a curved pressing and effectively impossible to replace
- Failed door seals and thermostats, which are ordinary faults but expensive relative to what a used unit fetches
- Yellowed cream and pastel finishes, where the coating has discoloured with age and cannot be evened out
Identifying and dating yours
- The model and serial are on a label inside the door or on the rear — photograph it, since colour and size vary widely across similar-looking models
- Photograph the whole exterior in daylight from several angles, because on this brand cosmetic condition is most of the price
- State the exact colour name, as buyers are usually matching an existing kitchen and will not accept an approximation
What lifts any blender, whatever the label
Blenders are valued on motor power and whether the jug and blade assembly are intact and model-specific.
- High-power motors for ice and frozen fruit
- Undamaged jugs with no cracks
- Sharp, unpitted blade assemblies
- Recognised brands with spares available
And what pulls one down
- Cracked jugs, which are model-specific
- Blunt or pitted blades
- Perished seals causing leaks
- Low-power motors that stall
Working out what yours is worth
- Run it with water and check for leaks at the base
- Inspect the jug for hairline cracks
- Check the blade assembly turns freely
What to state in the listing
- Jug capacity and whether glass or plastic
- Motor wattage and number of speed settings
- What attachments, cups or lids are included
- Whether the jug leaks, and the blade and gasket condition
Brand, capacity and power: “Nutribullet 900W Blender with 2 Cups” or “Glass Jug Blender, 1.5L, 800W”. Wattage matters for ice and frozen fruit. Say whether the jug is glass or plastic, which is a real preference, and how many cups or attachments are included.
Preparing and photographing it
- Fill the jug with water and stand it on paper to check the base seal does not weep.
- Check the blade for chips and the gasket for perishing, and confirm the jug is not crazed or cracked.
- Run it briefly and listen to the motor, and check the jug locks onto the base correctly.
- The blender assembled, whole
- The jug held to the light, showing clarity or crazing
- The blade assembly and gasket from underneath
- The model marking, plus any crack, chip or perished seal
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts in January and again in spring. High-power blenders from known brands sell within days; basic models compete on price.
Pack the jug separately from the base with the blade assembly wrapped. Glass jugs need heavy protection and are the usual transit casualty.
What buyers ask
Does a small chip really affect the price?
On SMEG, yes. The appliances are bought for their appearance, so enamel damage matters far more than it would on a conventional white machine.
How should I photograph a large appliance for sale?
In daylight, from several angles, with the door open and closed, plus a close shot of the rating label. Buyers arranging collection want to see everything before they travel.
How much is a SMEG blender worth?
Roughly £20 to £91 depending on condition, against £15 to £70 for blenders generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
What the fees would take elsewhere
