The Smeg 50's Retro Style is a 1500 W electric kettle with a stainless steel body and a 0.45 gal (about 1.7 L) capacity. Its draw is the look: rounded 1950s styling, a chrome base, a visible water meter and a soft-opening lid. It boils to 100°C only, so it suits tea and coffee drinkers who want a design piece on the counter rather than variable-temperature control. Rivals at the same capacity often add temperature settings and keep-warm modes; the Smeg trades those for finish and style, and owners say it boils fast and looks the part.

The Smeg 50's Retro Style is a cordless electric kettle made of stainless steel. It heats water to 100°C and holds 0.45 gal.
It has a hidden heating element and an anti-limescale filter. A water meter shows the fill level, and an indicator light shows when the kettle is on. The kettle also works as a tea maker.
It sits on a 360° contact plate, so it can be placed on its base from any angle. Automatic shut-off and boil dry protection are built in.
