If you've started looking at Smeg range cookers, you'll have noticed the names quickly: Portofino, Victoria, Opera, Symphony, Concert. They're all Smeg, they all come from Italy, and several share the same widths. But they're built for quite different kitchens and budgets.
This guide explains what each family is, who it suits, and roughly what you'll pay, so you can shortlist the right one before you get lost in model numbers.

Smeg Concert: the sensible all-rounder
Concert is Smeg's straightforward range. It skips the statement styling and concentrates on a good hob and reliable ovens in stainless steel or black. You'll find 60cm models such as the Concert 60cm dual fuel, and 90cm versions with gas or ceramic hobs and a double oven.
Choose Concert if: you want Smeg build quality and a proper range cooker without paying for a design statement, or you're fitting a range into a standard 60cm or 90cm gap.
Smeg Portofino: colour and character
Portofino is the family people usually picture when they think of Smeg cookers. It's built around bold colours (olive green, orange, red and white, plus steel, black and grey) and chunky, rounded controls. Smeg describes it as colour-led, and it's designed to be seen.
Underneath the looks there's plenty of substance. Portofino comes as dual fuel or induction, with pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens on some models. The 120cm Portofino mixed fuel combines gas burners and induction zones on one hob.
Choose Portofino if: you want the cooker to be the centrepiece, you're planning a colourful or Italian-inspired kitchen, or you like the idea of a self-cleaning oven.
Smeg Victoria: traditional styling, lots of oven space
Victoria is Smeg's take on the classic British range: curved handles, traditional knobs and a period look that suits country, farmhouse and Victorian homes. Colours include black, cream, slate grey and blue, and some sizes also come in stainless steel.
Victoria's big strength is its oven layout. The larger models have three or even four separate cavities, so you can roast, bake and keep things warm at the same time. See the Victoria 90cm with three cavities or the Victoria 110cm with four cavities. Dual fuel and induction versions are both available.
Choose Victoria if: you have a traditional kitchen, you cook for a big family, or you host Christmas and need more than one oven.
Smeg Symphony: modern and minimal
Symphony has the cleanest lines of the five, with a contemporary look and a matt black finish that works in modern, handleless kitchens. The Symphony 90cm induction pairs an induction hob with a double oven.
Choose Symphony if: your kitchen is modern and dark-toned, and you want induction's speed and easy cleaning without a retro look.
Smeg Opera: professional performance
Opera is Smeg's flagship range. It's heavy-duty stainless steel, inspired by professional kitchens, and it's the only family that goes all the way up to 150cm. Larger models add features such as double ovens and an electric griddle. See the Opera 90cm and the Opera 150cm with electric griddle.
Choose Opera if: you cook seriously and often, you have a large kitchen to fill, or you want the most capable Smeg range money can buy.
Dual fuel or induction?
Most families come in both. Smeg's own advice is that dual fuel (a gas hob with electric ovens) suits confident cooks who want flexibility and like seeing a flame. Electric and induction models offer everyday ease, fast heat-up and easy cleaning. For a detailed comparison, read our induction vs gas hob guide.
Remember that an induction range cooker usually needs a dedicated high-power electrical supply, and a dual fuel model needs a gas connection fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Check what your kitchen already has before you choose.
Getting the size right
Smeg range cookers run from compact 60cm models up to 150cm statement pieces. Measure the gap between your units, not the old cooker, and allow for any side clearances in the installation manual. Our range cooker buying guide covers widths and cavities in more depth, and the installation checklist walks you through what to check before delivery.
Don't forget the warranty
Every Smeg appliance comes with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee as standard. Many products also qualify for Smeg's 5-year parts and labour warranty, but you have to register within 90 days of purchase to activate it. Check Smeg's eligible product list when your cooker arrives.
So which Smeg range is right for you?
- Tightest budget: Concert
- Statement colour: Portofino
- Traditional kitchen or lots of oven space: Victoria
- Modern, dark kitchen with induction: Symphony
- Serious cook with a big kitchen: Opera
