I am in love with this cool looking toaster. It really does look retro. The color (red) is bright and bold. The features are awesome and retro looking. It doesn't have a cheap feel to it at all. It seems like a quality toaster so far. Most importantly, it toasts my bread, waffles, and strudels to perfection exactly as described. I tested all 6 toasting levels and they are accurate as in the descriptions included. The slots are wide. There is also a removeable crumb tray! As a bonus, they included a nice little booklet with a few recipes! I am proud of this purchase. I highly recommend this toaster to anyone who enjoys that retro look!
