Love this toaster. It's such a pretty and unusual colour that fits so well with my kitchen decor! It seems sturdy and well made. The toaster casing is plastic, which makes it easy to wipe clean without leaving marks, I find metal toasters can tarnish with cleaning. Set on medium the toaster takes around 1 minute until the toast is ready. It's handy that it has a dial to set how 'toasted' you woukd like your bread!
