I absolutely love my toaster! I know it's not cheap,but you get what you pay for. It's perfectly designed, love how I can fit thick slices in and it is deep enough, so no need for turning toast upside down to get all the edges toasted. And also the automatic feature means that you don't need to press any buttons, toaster will do all the "hard work" for you ,and plays a little tune to let you know when it's ready. No need to say that it looks absolutely stunning and adds to your kitchen look.
