Made of sheet stainless steel,it boasts a mid-century look with its smooth but solid body and no-nonsense operating controls and lever.Ant-slip feet keep it secure on working surfaces. This 2 slice version with centreing racks for even toasting has 6 browning settings, and 4 functions including reheat and defrost.The wide slots allow for thick cut bread and there is a bagel function.The power rating is 950w.
Integrated cable storage and a stainless steel crumb tray make it easy to keep the appliance clean and the area around it clean,tidy and uncluttered.The body can be quickly wiped with a soft damp cloth to maintain its pristine look and justify pride of place in the kitchen.
The award winning appliance manufacturer, SMEG,recently celebrated its 70 anniversary.
This toaster could be the start of a retro themed kitchen or add to one already in the making.There are other matching appliances of the same brand,big and small, available on the market,from kettles to large range ovens.
For me this is provides a robust statement in a kitchen as well as being well engineered to do the job it is designed to do and do it well.Its price may appear at the high end but custmers find it worth it.
