Looks lovely in my teal kitchen and functions as a decent toaster with differing levels of toastedness. I burned my finger the firt time I used it though, got a little blister so kust be wary not to touch the top of the toaster AT ALL when removing toast. I do wonder if Russel Hobbs even have safety teats on products betwem this amd the matching kettle that gives out free steam burns when using.
