Smeg has added the MultiGrill to its UK small-appliance range, with a listed price of £299.95. It offers contact, oven and BBQ cooking modes, waffle plates and presets for burgers, waffles and paninis; a full product review has not yet been published by Ideal Home.
Smeg has added the MultiGrill to its UK small-appliance range, with the countertop grill listed at £299.95 and available in cream or black. The appliance combines contact, oven and BBQ modes, positioning it as more than a conventional toastie maker, though Ideal Home said a full review was still to come.
The MultiGrill has three cooking modes designed for different uses. In contact mode, its plates press close together for foods such as paninis, burgers and chicken. Oven mode applies heat without pressing down on the food, which the report says can suit more delicate items, including fish, or melting cheese.
In BBQ mode, the grill opens to provide a wider, flat cooking surface. The plates can be used independently at different temperatures, according to the Ideal Home report, which describes the setup as suitable for cooking different foods at once or for a teppanyaki-style meal. The appliance also has a sear function reaching up to 250°C, according to the source.
Smeg includes separate waffle plates and three preset programs: Burger, Waffle and Panini. Ideal Home’s reporter sampled paninis during a product demonstration, describing the fillings as well melted and the ciabatta as crunchy. The reporter also said the grill could hold a substantial amount of food, while noting its fairly bulky size.
Three Modes Expand Countertop Cooking
The launch gives shoppers looking for a countertop grill one appliance with several cooking arrangements rather than a single-purpose sandwich press. The independent BBQ plates and oven mode broaden the ways it can be used, while the waffle plates and presets add dedicated options for common dishes.
At £299.95, the MultiGrill is a relatively high-priced small appliance. Whether its range of modes justifies the cost will depend on how well it performs across different foods and how often owners use it. The available report offers an initial demonstration impression, not a full test of cooking performance, ease of cleaning or long-term use.

Smeg’s Expanding Small-Appliance Range
The MultiGrill joins a growing group of countertop appliances from Smeg, a brand known for its rounded retro styling and distinctive lettering. Ideal Home notes that Smeg also released an air fryer earlier in the year, as the company continues to add products to its kitchen-appliance range.
The product is presented as an upgrade on a basic toastie maker, but its central selling point is versatility rather than a new cooking category. The three modes, interchangeable plates and presets are the features that distinguish it from a simpler contact grill. Its cream and black finishes carry the design approach highlighted in the report.
““There was a good crunch to the ciabatta bread too.””
— Ideal Home reporter, after a product demonstration
Full Performance Review Still Pending
The source report does not provide an independent, full review of the MultiGrill. Its comments on the paninis and capacity come from a product demonstration, and do not establish how the grill performs across its modes over repeated use.
Details not covered in the report include cooking times, temperature control beyond the stated sear maximum, cleaning requirements, energy use, warranty terms and the precise dimensions. It also does not compare the grill’s results or price with competing models. Buyers should treat the demonstration feedback as an early impression, not a complete assessment.
Awaiting Ideal Home’s Full Review
Ideal Home said its full review was still to come when the launch report was published. That assessment may provide more detail on how the grill handles its contact, oven and BBQ modes, as well as the waffle plates, presets and cleaning process.
For now, the MultiGrill is listed at £299.95 through Smeg in cream or black, according to the report. The source does not give a review publication date or further availability details.
