Advantages: Stylish, makes great toast, easy to use

Disadvantages: Expensive

This toaster is a great accesory to any kitchen. I brought mine a few years ago and it has stood the test of time very well. When I first got it I paid about £75 for mine which is a little on the expensive side but the price has come down a bit now. It came with a thick instruction manual and a plug.

I love the appearance of this toaster as it looks brilliant, very stylish and modern. It comes in several different colours including silver satin, pearl white, onyx black, azure blue and scarlet red which is the one I have. It draws the eye and definitely adds a bit of style to my kitchen with the shiny paint and futurisitic looking metal buttons and knobs. The paint is meant to be resistant to fingerprints although I have noticed a few on mine.

It has four slots to make up to four slices of toast at a time and can also be used to make bagels although I have never tried this. If you just want to make a couple of slices for yourself then you can use 2 slots on their own to save energy. There are various heat settings and once you have found the right one it makes great toast. Unfortunately you might have to incinerate quite a few peices before you find the right heat level!

It is very easy and simple to use with handles on each side to raise or lower the toast and buttons in between for the variety of great features which I find really useful such as defrost, reheat, heat settings and cancel. The toaster also has an extra-lift function which lifts the toast up higher than normal toasters. This is an extra precaution to stop you from getting burnt but also enables you to get any smaller bits of toast or bits than have fallen off out easily. It is also easy to clean with a removable crumb tray at the bottom which you can just give a quick wipe. The crumb tray is quite deep so collects most of the crumbs preventing your counter from getting dirty.

Overall a great looking toaster with some very useful features. It is a bit pricey but if you want quality then this toaster is the one to go for.

Summary: A sexy, modern toaster which is well worth the price.
