First impressions were good, nice aesthetics. I like the digital timer countdown, & the extending rack that can be used to warm croissants or rolls, which is very useful. What I really like, having used my toaster for more than a month now is that, unlike some toasters that are a bit "hit & miss", it is totally consistent. Find the setting that you like, & it toasts it the same, time after time.

I have had this toaster for a year and I hate it. Even if you put a standard slide sideways it doesn't toast the whole surface. Which means you then have to try and constantly spin the bread about to get even cooking.It also doesn't toaster consistently on each side, so one side will invariably be darker than another.There's no function to bring the toast up to check on it, which seems pretty standard for toasters - or so I thought.And 13 months after purchasing it, it started tripping the breaker in my flat - to the point where after a few days I can't even turn it on now without it tripping my breaker.A flat out failure, I cannot recommend this product at all.

I bough the kettle and toaster - may be I have OCD - but there is no way I could have a kettle and toaster on the countertop that don't match !Toaster was bought to match - simple clean controls. I love that you can set the level you want things toasted to, and you get a countdown timer to completion, so you can be ready for whatever you are toasting to pop up. Even toasting. Perfect appliance.The kettle is excellent - stainless steel inside, so nasty taste of plastic (remember if you can taste the plastic it means the plastic molecules are in the water you are drinking!).The temperature display is way more useful than I thought it would be - shows the temperature of the water when you fill the kettle, can see it rising as it heats up - so you can judge how long you have until its ready, but if like me you are doing several things at once - boil the kettle for tea - don't use it immediately I always used to flick it back on to re-boil ... with the temperature display just a quick glance lets you know if that is necessary ... if the water is at 97 really don't need to waste energy on re-boiling for 3 degrees.Written my review for both products together for simplicity.Highly recommend both the kettle and toaster. Well made, sleek crisp design, with useful features like the temperature and timer countdown on the toaster.
