Loved the design of this toaster. It’s so pretty and looks great in my kitchen. I bought the matching kettle too and they look great together. Seems to toast fairly evenly and also fine for hot cross buns.

It certainly is a pretty thing, and seems to do the job well (toasting bread, obviously). Unfortunately, the Tower brand and the associated 3 year warranty were the points which swung me finally to this purchase and it seems that was not true. The item is by VQ and comes with a one year standard warranty. I've not quite decided whether to keep, or to return it.. It is really, very, very pretty after all.
