ok ,This toaster speaks for itself but I REALLY needed to review this because if your like me, spending over $30 for a toaster was a HUGH decision.I LOVE design and had my eye on this SMEG for quite a while. I gave in because for one Wayfair had BEST price and allowed an extra 10% off customer gratitude card in the mail so I have it ! I have a small  "Boutique like salon in my sunroom and on weekends,I work Sundays too,takinbg one, two the most any a time if they know each other and like to have "brunch like" goodies out for them. This really made a smash because it IS A WORK OF ART when seen up close ,BEAUTIFULLY made and MAKES REALLY good toast I did not realize there is a difference in toasters!!,
