Bought this toaster as a replacement for the identical one which lasted about 4 years before one of the elements failed. This one performs the same as the old one - toasts one side more than the other. Would have bought a much cheaper make that does the job just as well - or better - but we needed a match for other SMEG items in the kitchen.

Nice solid build, and looks great in our kitchen. Finally a toaster that can manage bigger slices of bread and toast evenly. Expensive, so hoping it will last well.

Love the colour and style, it’s no more functional than the lower cost 4 slice toaster we had before. So you are essentially paying for the Smeg logo, but it does looks great!

Great looking product and a good buy. My only comment would be some of the chrome feels/looks cheap - because they are plastic - for the money may have expected metal and then would have been superb

Love SMEG. Goes perfectly in my new kitchen. Polishes well and is easy to keep clean.

Excellent toaster but overpriced

It looks great, and has a high quality feel. I also wanted a long slot toaster. That narrows the choice down a lot. If you're after a good looking, blue, long slot toaster, then this is perfect. Otherwise, it's just a toaster and very expensive compared to others that do the same thing. Just don't look as good.

Considering the price it’s a basic toaster but looks great in my new kitchen. I chose white. Enjoying catching the toast when it pops up as it has a strong spring mechanism! If you don’t have to have a Smeg one, there are others on the market that do the job just as well and look equally stylish.
