A pink fridge seems to be the envy of every girl gadgeteer we meet these days, so how excited are they going to be with the announcement from Smeg that it is about to start selling pink dishwashers to match.

Coming in the same retro 50s styling the dishwasher comes in eight colours; red, pastel blue, lime green, orange, silver, black, cream and of course, pink.

In keeping with the colour scheme the Italian appliance manufacturer as even coloured the internal cutlery basket and trays to match the exterior colour scheme.

Customers will also be pleased to hear the dishwasher comes with a triple A rating for each of wash performance, drying performance and energy efficiency.

The dishwasher also promises an extra two place settings per load - 14 instead of 12. In addition the unit has five temperature settings and 10 programmes to choose including a half load button.

The Smeg DF6FAB will retail for around £840 when it goes on sale later this month.
