Mint condition: Kmart unveils ‘retro’ appliances for slice of style at $29!

As the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisper, many are looking to refresh their homes with a touch of style and comfort.

And what better way to do so than with appliances that not only look chic but are also kind to your wallet?

Kmart Australia has just unveiled two stunning additions to their kitchenware line that are sure to pique the interest of savvy shoppers and style enthusiasts alike.


For just $29 each, you can now own the 1.7L Retro Kettle and the 2 Slice Retro Toaster that exude a high-end aesthetic without the hefty price tag.

These mint-green beauties are the epitome of elegance and are designed to make a statement in any kitchen.

Their ribbed design and pastel hue are reminiscent of the iconic Smeg 50s-style appliances, which are beloved by design aficionados but can set you back a couple of hundred dollars as the Smeg price is $199 for the kettle and $249 for the toaster.

The $29 electric 'retro' products from Kmart are not just about looks; they come with a suite of features that make them a practical choice for everyday use.

The two-slice toaster, which has been flying off the shelves and is already sold out in selected stores, and the 1.7L kettle, still widely available, both offer functionality that rivals their more expensive counterparts.

Both the Kmart and Smeg kettles boast a 1.7L jug capacity, 360-degree rotation, automatic and manual switch-off options, and a stainless steel heating element.

Kmart's version also includes overheat protection and comes with a reassuring 12-month warranty.

While the Smeg toaster offers six browning levels, Kmart's alternative holds its own with similar toasting capabilities.


The allure of these Kmart finds isn't just in their appearance or price; it's also in the customer satisfaction they've garnered.

Kmart’s 'euro' kettle was a hit among shoppers in 2021, with shoppers describing it as a ‘fantastic’ product that ‘works beautifully.

‘I love the colour, also the quick boil and it's not that loud. Very fashionable, suits my kitchen,’ one shopper said.

‘This kettle is stunning! So classy. Works perfectly. Love the blue light on the side. Colour is gorgeous. Highly recommend,’ another agreed.
