Dualit 20293 2-Slice Toaster

i waited to receive this as a 'big' gift for my 50th birthday and i wish that i had chosen another item. despite the fabulous design, this toaster was not worth the price or the wait. it looks gorgeous on my counter but it has a noisy timer, toasts unevenly and sometimes, not at all on one side. the chrome does not clean well the ghosts of water streaks have become part of the finish. it is very difficult to clean and i just hate it.
