stylish AND functional

After 12 years of failed toaster ovens, we broke down and decided that a toaster might be more reliable. My husband bought this one for my birthday. As far as looks go, it's beautiful! It's shiny and sort of retro-looking. It really adds a touch of color to our kitchen, which is so nice compared to the silver toaster ovens we have had in the past. Plus it takes up so much less space!

So far it's terrific. It doesn't burn the toast at all (we put it on about a 3 1/2) and the toast comes out perfect every time. The extra large slots are great for bagels.

Not only that, but it's quick. Maybe I am used to a toaster oven, but it seems to cook the toast in double the time that we used to have to wait for it. There are a few settings to choose from - toast, bagel, frozen, or warm.

We haven't used the warming setting yet, but I think that would be great, especially when you're cooking eggs or something and they aren't ready at the same time. No more cold toast!

There's also a toast-lift that will lift up the toast s that it's easy to pull out, and a cancel button to stop the cycle.

I would buy this again. I'm very happy with it so far (we've only had it about 2 weeks, but so far so good!)
