SMEG 2 Slice Toaster with 6 Presets and Defrost Function and Removable Crumb Tray TSF01CHMUS, Matte Champagne

The media could not be loaded. I've had this toaster for 4 months and I simply love it. Why? Because its so cute, makes my kitchen look nicer and toasts bread really well. The pink almost looks like a bubble gum color. The knob level goes up to 6 but I find the bread is toasted to my liking between the 2 and 3 levels. It has toasted evenly most of the time. I once put it on 4 and the bread was darker then I like. This toaster has a strong heating level so be careful it gets hot. There's 2 other buttons on the toaster one for toasting frozen bread and one setting for muffins or bagels. You just have to press a button for those settings. Is this toaster a splurge YES but if your looking for the cuteness factor in kitchen appliances this one is all that and more. I get a lot of use from it and just love how it looks next to my other SMEG appliances.

I’m in love with the look of this toaster. Too cute! Works great with all the functionality. Get it if you’re in the need for a toaster.

Ok….i tried really hard not to buy this toaster! I have always admired it … I even bought other toasters that I ended up not liking at all because of performance and durability. I am glad I decided to go for it and try this toaster! This SMEG toaster deserves a full 5 star rating! I could not be happier… it arrived on time, in double boxing packaged securely within the inner original appliance box in perfect condition. Besides being a beautiful toaster (as toasters go) , it is solid, easy to use and its toasting capability most importantly is fantastic! As soon as it arrived, the toasting began…we use our toaster throughout every day…so far…bagels, toast, reheating of day old crusty bread, waffles, English muffins, and croissants have all either heated or toasted really well and evenly…we have not tried the defrost option yet. We feel the toaster is of high quality, very easy to use, and love the champagne color! We intend to enjoy this toaster for a very long time! It’s a keeper!

Works great as a toaster, even more as a style piece in my kitchen! These (toaster and electric kettle) will always sit out on my counter!

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.

I have looked and looked, researched and researched, tried and tried; and finally, I found the right toaster. SMEG if definitely the best. Thank you.

I did a lot of research before choosing the Smeg toaster. There weren't many reviews of this model to go on, so I was a little nervous spending so much for something that seemed to have very little market presence in the U.S. Fortunately, my bet seems to be paying off thus far.Although this toaster is quite expensive, it does a good job toasting a variety of breads. It takes time to get to know how to use it properly, and I've found it interesting to go up the learning curve trying to get the best results with various shapes, sizes and types of bread. The main challenge has been setting the browning level so that the bread surface toasts without the edges burning. I've had my smoke alarm go off a couple times as I've failed at that maneuver, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.My only quibble about this toaster is that it can be a little hard to get the bread out once it is finished toasting. You'll need a pair of wooden tongs to go with this model, or the dexterity to turn 2 wooden spoons into a makeshift pair of tongs. Also, watch the "chrome" surfaces on the toaster -- they scratch quite easily so you shouldn't put anything even slightly gritty or abrasive on top of them.

I had this toaster in my wishlist for a while and now that I have it , it was my best purchase ever, It works excellent and the color is so beautiful 🩷
