Smeg (Black) - 2-Slice Toaster-Black

I liked the retro 50’s vibe of this toaster which is not only stylish but is a sturdy, clean looking kitchen essential. I was undecided on what colour to buy but very pleased with the black that goes well with my black stone counter and white cupboards and subway backsplash. This toaster is usually very expensive but with the sale I didn’t have to think twice about buying. The cord is thicker than the usual thin ones and the wide slots easily hold toast or bagel slices. Toast comes out perfectly so far as it’s very new so will see with more consistent usage. Fingerprint show a bit on the chrome as well as the black so requires wiping after each use to look pristine.

Produto perfeito! Amei

I was going to return this before trying it as I read the reviews AFTER buying it; then I cancelled the return and decided to give it a go. Let me say, the first couple of days I toasted one-sided items, and it was working well - thus, my decision to cancel my return. THEN, today I put in regular bread for toasting, and lo and behold, it toasts more rapidly on one side, so if you want both sides toasted, you can expect one side to be burnt. The other side will be ok. If you toast to a normal setting you would like, you get one side toasted perfectly, and the other side barely toasted at all. I'm going to have to return it. What is nice about it: The toaster is big, the color is nice, it looks great on the counter, the holes are wide. I really like it and want to keep it, but it's not going to happen since it doesn't do what it is supposed to do very well - TOAST. My reason for buying a new toaster is/was just this reason My other one only toasts one side of the bread, so why would I spend this kind of money for the same problem. My search is on! If you know of a toaster that works well in the "toasting" department, give me a shout out. UPDATE: 5/14/17 - Well, my old toaster finally had to go and because I loved this one & it's look I decided to give it another try. The last one must have been defective for sure; this one works fabulously! So Far, that is. And I have high hopes that it will continue. I love this toaster. I would recommend it to anyone; just know that if it doesn't toast properly out of the box, ask for an exchange as you probably just got one that was defective (as I did the first go around). BUT, like I said, this one toasts perfectly - both sides evenly toasted when it pops out, and isn't this what we want. Not one that pops up and one side is toasted while the other side isn't barely toasted. Give this one a try. It might take 2 tries, but I love this thingnow.

Oh yes! Very aesthetically pleasing. Yes, this is the correct spelling if you originate from the same place I do! Great toaster. No problems.

Me encantó, lo usamos diario y se ve hermoso 🙂👌🏽
