I have to admit that when we put this toaster on our wedding registry, my husband & I were looking for something that looked nice & didn't seem to expensive for someone to buy as a wedding gift.
Luckily, when his grandmother bought it for us, we found out that we had lucked out on picking a toaster that is not only stylish & affordable, but works well, has many features of higher-priced toasters and is extremely durable.
With a brushed stainless-steel finish & a neon blue "on" light, the toaster looks great sitting on the counter. It also has many features, however, that make it useful & practical. Among them, a crumb tray, warming setting, cancel button, defrost button & a few others. There is an adjustable knob on the side that, while it is not always 100% accurate (it doesn't have any 'locked-in' settings) it gets the job done. This toaster has plenty of room for all types of "toastable" items such as waffles, bagels or plain toast and inside bars that automatically adjust to hold thicker or thinner items for the best toasting possible.
This toaster has also proven durable as we use it quite frequently & have already owned it for around 3 years without so much as a change in how well it toasts. I would highly recommend this toaster for anyone looking for something that doesn't cost them an arm & a leg, but still works like a 'high-end' toaster
