SMEG 2 Slice Toaster with 6 Presets and Defrost Function and Removable Crumb Tray TSF01PKMUS, Pink

OMG It's a "Bently" this toaster has won me over, It is like nothing I have even owned in the way of an appliance. I kid you not I have expensive cookware, knives and a resturant stove that I love but I have been plagued by can openers, toasters, toaster ovens and microwaves for decades. Yes its not cheap but it is worth every single penny. Run don't walk this is the last and only toaster you will ever need. You will know the second you depress the bread down the lever moves like glass. It toasted a frozen bagle to perfection. I bought the chrome version it's beautiful.

This toaster performs one function: toasting. Ok, 2 functions, because it also defrosts. One function while taking a lot of counter space and costing a chunk of change -- but it is worth every penny! I got tired of playing games with my fairly new Cuisinart toaster over, never knowing when it would actually toast bread or just sit there like a toy so I sacrificed it from the SMEG. I opted for the version that accommodates 4 slices (2 slices of bread per side) and it's perfect for slices of bakery-made misshapen loaves. The slots measure a generous 1.5" by 10". It offers 6 levels of toasty-ness (3 is a perfect middle ground) and the handy release button allows you to stop and check the "doneness". The red exterior is happy and the retro shape is just COOL! And there's a special setting for bagels. I am loving my SMEG and am eating toast to beat the band -- making up for lost time on that toaster oven. Wish I had bought the SMEG years ago!

beuatiful

Worth every penny

The media could not be loaded. Update: Seriously, this toaster is really bad. It actually does nothing well. I don’t know how that’s possible, but it’s true. Even basic toast flies out of the top when done (see video. This is ever time, not occasionally). And the toast that comes out if perfect tan on one side and over dark on the other. Waffles always get stuck and burn. Also, there is too much room on the side of the cage that hold the toast, which makes it easy to get a slice stuck outside the cage, and thus turning into a smoke situation as the bread touches the heating elements. And, those cute SMEG letters are impossible to clean around 🥺. Don’t be charmed by the brand or the cuteness! You will regret it!This toaster kinda sucks. Sadly, most toasters seem to suck, but this seemed to be a happy medium between form and function. After a couple weeks, its way more form than function. What it does well: toasting, pre sliced sandwich bread. Great. FTW. If that's the only thing you toast you will probably love it.What it does much less well: toast anything else. God forbid you want a toasty slice of your favorite crusty bread. You better cut it perfectly thin, but not too thin because it some how gets trapped and turns to charcoal. And it better be perfectly, standard toast slice. Odd sized toast will also get stuck in something. Make a Frozen Belgian Waffles and you will find yourself plucking it out with chopsticks, because it it too will get stuck (though the defrost works pretty well). Too small a slice and it will literally fly out of the toaster when it pops up.So, our quest for the perfect toaster (even adequate at this point) continues. We had high hopes, but are sadly disappointed. Quality seems fine, though the lever did not work on the first one we received.

There are no complaints from me of this Smeg toaster. It toasts both sides of the bread evenly. Burnt toast is the result of too high a setting. 3 works for me. I think the bun warmer and sandwich makers are great. Warm your croissants in the morning, but use 1 as the setting for the bun warmer.

I love this color so much. 10/10 recommend

Love the color and fits perfectly in my kitchen aesthetic
