Roger, South Coast , “Retired batchelor”

+ Very fast toaster, smart, makes a ringing noise just as it finishes just loud enough to draw it to one's attention.

- None really, except I wonder how long the thin element wire will last, some toasters have elements rather like 1 bar fires. I will soon learn which is warming and which is frozen!!

Magsy, Kincardine

+ Unlike a lot of other 'pretty' toasters, this one actually does the job it is meant to - i.e. it toasts a full slice of bread from a standard sized loaf. The last one I bought wouldn't accept a slice from a standard sliced loaf!!! So, here we have super design and excellent functionality, all in a reasonably priced item! Yes, I definitely recomment this piece of equipment. The roll/croissant heater works very well too!

- The controls are a little tad over sensitive but are fine when you get used to them although I wouldn't like to see the result if the machine was on full power! Cremation I would think!

+ No bad points. Just depends on texture of the bread as to when its done. Trial and error with different bread.

Abb, Pontsticill

+ Looks very stylish. Very easy to use and clean. I like the warming feature and the cool wall. I've only had this a matter of weeks, but so far it has toasted everything perfectly with an easily adjustable browning feature.

- Haven't found any so far.

Karen, Ferndown , “Busy mum or dad”

+ Quicker toasting speed than many others on the market. Beeps as well when it is done. We have replaced an enormous 4 slice toaster for this, but due to its speed & then the beep it doesn't hold up the family! It is fairly compact & meant to stand with the shorter width facing you, as in the picture. [Bear this in mind if you would rather one that sits along the back wall, as many toasters do!]

- Sometimes flip up the toasting rack by error if the toaster is round the wrong way. A little expensive for a 2 slice toaster, but I haven't regretted buying it!
