I bought this to replace our big, clumsy convection toaster oven that was taking up much needed counter space. We basically used it to toast bread and pop-tarts and it was taking up too much space. I recently purchased a commercial espresso maker in red and wanted something red to match. Like the reviews said, it was not a "true" red, more like a cranberry color, so I was not surprised. The color is beautiful with the metallic shine. I solved the mis-match issue by putting it on a different counter than the espresso maker. Toasts fine, easy controls. Looks very nice. No complaints. Just realize that if you are trying to match a red that has any touch of "oranginess", this is not for you.

The toaster is beautiful and works perfectly. It is an excellent replica of a retro style appliance.

I've always wanted a red toaster, those that I had before where either to bulky or the color was not right. This toaster was perfect the size was just right, the color, beautiful. I was very skeptical when I ordered this product but when it arrived and I saw how lovely it was, I could not wait to show it off to my friends. It adds elegance to my kitchen. Absolutely beautiful. Now all my friends want one.

Unfortunately when I received it, the finish on the toaster is full of hair line cracks. As far as how it works, it works like a toaster should.

This toaster is bigger than I expected, but it's wonderful. Lots of options to defrost or cook bagels. The color is perfect - I love it!
