Hi, when buying appliances I always like to look for something stylish, sleek, functional & cost effective! This toaster hits on all marks, it’s a classy design that is budget friendly, doesn’t take up lots of counter space and toasts perfectly, even thicker sliced bread and bagels. I love that it has a matte aluminum finish that doesn’t show fingerprints, has an easy to use control dial, wide toaster slots to fit all kinds of thick cut bread and bagels and it just looks great and feels like it’s built well, I would definitely recommend this toaster to anyone!
