“Now that we have it, I can totally understand this reaction. It really is gorgeous! Aesthetics aside, so far it is working well and making toast that is actually toasted the way we want... This is simple and has a little smaller footprint than other toasters I have had, which makes it easy to tuck under the cabinets and leave more counter space.”
