A fine toaster. It has a sleek, elegant, stainless steel design, which would look chic in any kitchen. Almost space age. The curved nature of the toaster's sides is reminiscent of a bread loaf, arousing familiar images of home-cooked bread within one's mind. All in all, aesthetically pleasing.

Regarding performance. The toaster has the ability to toast at many intensities. Whether one wants lightly-toasted or burnt, there's an option for you. Indeed, the toast slits are large enough to fit more than one slice of bread if such a thing takes your fancy.

I myself use the toaster to make cheese toasties. Now with my old toaster this resulted with a mess, yet this toaster is very easily cleaned.

It works well with toaster bags, heating the inside of the bag just enough to melt the cheese, yet stopping the bread from going black.

However, if one forces the toast down too hard one risks getting stuck. This can even result in the circuit being stopped, and half your toaster becoming useless. As long as one takes care though, the toaster should have a long life.

Also the toast, when toasted, is very quiet upon pop-up.This can be a nuisance.

Despite those small disadvantages, A good-looking toaster which performs well every morning.
