looks great, and built to last

Seems to be very little the user can do to finely tune the toaster's settings. Anything over setting 4 would cremate a slice of bread. Even on a lowish setting the outsides toast quicker than the inside of the slice meaning you get burnt edges. Turning...

It does what it's supposed to, and does it well. The digital strength setting is great.

It looks cheape.r in reality than on the pictures, and the startup animation gets old very quickly (that is, if you're unplugging the unit now and then)

Easy to select settings Quick, effective toaster

Have to clean out crumb tray regularly otherwise smell of burning

Bun heater

Quicker toasting speed than many others on the market. Beeps as well when it is done. We have replaced an enormous 4 slice toaster for this, but due to its speed & then the beep it doesn't hold up the family! It is fairly compact & meant to stand with...

Sometimes flip up the toasting rack by error if the toaster is round the wrong way. A little expensive for a 2 slice toaster, but I haven't regretted buying it!

Beeps when is done, stylish look, warms up without toasting the bread more, has a rack on top to warm up croissants

Looks very stylish. Very easy to use and clean. I like the warming feature and the cool wall. I've only had this a matter of weeks, but so far it has toasted everything perfectly with an easily adjustable browning feature.

Haven't found any so far.

No bad points. Just depends on texture of the bread as to when its done. Trial and error with different bread.

great to do all sizes of toast and extras like crumpets etc

no bad points
