I bought this toaster, along with the matching kettle, as I thought they looked good. Oh, what a disappointment! The toasting slots do not pop up high enough to enable extraction of the toasted goods, especially smaller items such as crumpets. This necessitates switching off the toaster at the wall and digging the items out. The toaster also browns more one side of the item than the other and it is VERY SLOW! Horrible machine. Wouldn't recommend.

Stylish toaster. Makes great toast. Unfortunately the wooden handles don’t match the wooden handle of the kettle but I can overlook that.

Good looking toaster, does the job.
