Smeg50's Style Retro Aesthetic 2 Slice Toaster 6 Presets Extra Wide Slots Grey, TSF01GRUS

This toaster performs one function: toasting. Ok, 2 functions, because it also defrosts. One function while taking a lot of counter space and costing a chunk of change -- but it is worth every penny! I got tired of playing games with my fairly new Cuisinart toaster over, never knowing when it would actually toast bread or just sit there like a toy so I sacrificed it from the SMEG. I opted for the version that accommodates 4 slices (2 slices of bread per side) and it's perfect for slices of bakery-made misshapen loaves. The slots measure a generous 1.5" by 10". It offers 6 levels of toasty-ness (3 is a perfect middle ground) and the handy release button allows you to stop and check the "doneness". The red exterior is happy and the retro shape is just COOL! And there's a special setting for bagels. I am loving my SMEG and am eating toast to beat the band -- making up for lost time on that toaster oven. Wish I had bought the SMEG years ago!

There are no complaints from me of this Smeg toaster. It toasts both sides of the bread evenly. Burnt toast is the result of too high a setting. 3 works for me. I think the bun warmer and sandwich makers are great. Warm your croissants in the morning, but use 1 as the setting for the bun warmer.

My wife love the style. It was a gift for Mother’s Day

I’m in love with the look of this toaster. Too cute! Works great with all the functionality. Get it if you’re in the need for a toaster.

My new toaster failed after two weeks. The toast would not eject when done and it was impossible to get out without digging for it. GE says that their is a warranty. Effectively it does not. I spent a lot of time calling their support number. I got put on hold and transferred a number of times. Then there were emails asking me to send pictures and videos of how the toaster was not working. Then more emails to continue the claim. Finally, no response for weeks. I gave up, threw the toaster out and bought a different brand. Then, weeks later the GE support team demanded that I send them a picture of the GE toaster with the cord cut. Since I threw out the toaster, and who would not, no replacement toaster. What a waste of time.

The media could not be loaded. I've had this toaster for 4 months and I simply love it. Why? Because its so cute, makes my kitchen look nicer and toasts bread really well. The pink almost looks like a bubble gum color. The knob level goes up to 6 but I find the bread is toasted to my liking between the 2 and 3 levels. It has toasted evenly most of the time. I once put it on 4 and the bread was darker then I like. This toaster has a strong heating level so be careful it gets hot. There's 2 other buttons on the toaster one for toasting frozen bread and one setting for muffins or bagels. You just have to press a button for those settings. Is this toaster a splurge YES but if your looking for the cuteness factor in kitchen appliances this one is all that and more. I get a lot of use from it and just love how it looks next to my other SMEG appliances.

I have looked and looked, researched and researched, tried and tried; and finally, I found the right toaster. SMEG if definitely the best. Thank you.

Look amazing and works great.
