BELLA 2 Slice toaster, Stainless Steel and Black

Okay so...our 3rd toaster in 5 yrs conked out (as is the case with toasters it seems), so we wanted to find one that looked nice, was simple and didn't cost too much. We found this cute little red one,reasonably priced. It arrived fairly quick. I gave it a quick wipe with alcohol spray and a paper towel on the outside. Plugged it in tried all the settings and worked right away flawlessly. I liked that it toasted the bread in half the time that our old "loser" toaster did (so win-win). It also has a feature on it for frozen items, which has really come in handy. You can also make the toast raise up a little so that you won't burn your fingers getting it out (but we use wooden tongs anyway, so haven't needed to try that). The slots are wide enough (but not overly wide, so they would not be useful for extra wide bread slices...the kind you'd see with belgium waffles or something. But wide enough for slightly larger bread, so that's good.The bright red is nice but not obnoxiously red. We even got a compliment on it from a visitor. Nothing else in the kitchen is red, so it stands out, but not so much to say "HEY...OVER HEEEEERE!" All together, we like it a lot. It's lightweight, pretty and works fast,easy to clean too. I'd give it an A+ 5 stars so far. It's only been a week or two, so in 6-12 months from now, if it conks out, I'll update this review. But so far, I cannot think of any negatives on it.

Lo practico, el color y sobre todo el precio.

Good quality for the price

1st off it has a u.s plug2nd I have just gone to use the toaster bread was in for 2 secs on lowestest setting and it has not only burnt the toast it has smoked the whole of my house out it is clearly faulty

I live in the UK, so I had to buy an adaptor which was fine as I really liked the colour of this one and I'd already spent money on it.I used it once, it nearly burned toast in 30 seconds, but I needed 4 slices so I put 2 more in for 10 seconds and it got really bright, hot, and made a loud electric sound. I don't know how to describe it, and I don't know if it was the plug adaptor, the wattage of the toaster or not compatible with the wall sockets all together (though my plugs are not dangerous for anything else). Needless to say I had to safetly unplug it and throw it away. Perhaps there are US or EU reviews that have never experienced this. As it was a lovely looking toaster with a sensible design, perhaps it was an anomaly for fault. But I felt I should write a review all the same.
