(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I like the styling of the toaster. It's not a polished silver it is a matte silver which makes it incredibly easy to clean. The first piece of toast I tried was a slice of raisin bread. It did a great job since it's a fairly dense loaf and all the raisins make it overly moist. It did an excellent job of crisping it up without leaving it doughy in the middle.
