a bit too large though, for what it does I mean. The retro shape is cool, I envisioned it smaller though. Seems functional though -at least so far :)

It's great looking, not too big, not too small; however, the slots are only 5.25 in length. The first time I toasted a slice of wheat bread I had to squish the bread by the sides to fit into the slots. I didn't think the wheat bread was a gourmet type (i.e., little bigger than regular sandwich bread), but maybe it is. If you only toast regular white bread, then it may not be a problem. No problem with the toasting. If the slots were longer I would have given it a 5 star.
