4 Slice Toaster TSF02, Long Slot Toaster with Wide Slots for Bagels & Artisan Bread, Retro Stainless Steel, 6 Browning Levels, Defrost Reheat Bagel Functions, 1400W - (Pastel Blue)

A super nice toaster. Not sure how to justify this much for a toaster but it’s a beautiful toaster. Never have regretted buying something well-built, though. It toasts to perfection and handles wide bread (panini type).

This toaster performs one function: toasting. Ok, 2 functions, because it also defrosts. One function while taking a lot of counter space and costing a chunk of change -- but it is worth every penny! I got tired of playing games with my fairly new Cuisinart toaster over, never knowing when it would actually toast bread or just sit there like a toy so I sacrificed it from the SMEG. I opted for the version that accommodates 4 slices (2 slices of bread per side) and it's perfect for slices of bakery-made misshapen loaves. The slots measure a generous 1.5" by 10". It offers 6 levels of toasty-ness (3 is a perfect middle ground) and the handy release button allows you to stop and check the "doneness". The red exterior is happy and the retro shape is just COOL! And there's a special setting for bagels. I am loving my SMEG and am eating toast to beat the band -- making up for lost time on that toaster oven. Wish I had bought the SMEG years ago!

We followed directions and turned the unit on without bread for the first use. We noticed two things, the inner heating elements only partially warmed up (faint glow on top element), and upon moving the toaster, it was blazing hot. We then tried to toast bread and sure enough, it was either broken or stuck on bagel mode. The toast was only toasted on one side. We hit the bagel mode button, but the behavior was the same. Usually bagel mode is only the inside elements heat. This is a good looking toaster, but it has cheap construction, poor quality, expensive, and dangerously hot (even for adults). We could have lived with the price and cheapness, but being partially DOA and dangerous, never again.

I've had this toaster for 6 1/2 years now. The best toaster I’ve ever had. As a toaster, it toasts consistently and the darkness control can be trusted to produce the same degree of toasting every time. What I find special is the build quality. The paint job is worthy of a car, thick and little to nothing sticks to it. The top piece of chromed steel (perhaps stainless steel) is absent of any bluing, corrosion or discoloration of any sort. Despite the copious amounts of sugars, honey, jams, etc Americans must have in their packaged breads. This top piece cleans easily and with a occasional spray of alcohol or window cleaner, looks like new. The design consists of a couple of well fitting pieces with rounded corners and no nooks and crannies. A snap to wipe off. This gets used every day of the week. 6 1/2 years. Flawless, still looks like new. Still works like new. So we're back to a well functioning toaster. And I'm back to this is probably the best toaster I've ever had. - Pros: Its very well made. Tank-like build, excellent paint, high quality non-staining/bluing chrome and stainless. It toasts evenly and reasonably quickly. Handles bagels better than any toaster I've ever had. Though not as good a a toaster oven than can reach high temps (not many anymore). The dial settings work and are consistent. We have not moved the dial from its "2" setting since we bought the Smeg. It always produces the same lightly toasted bread. Very easy to clean and the quality of the crumb tray slide is amazing, press button, it glides out. Well sealed, as in no crumbs leak out onto my black granite counters. Whoever sees it comments favorably. Excellent accessory available to warm croissants, buns, etc. - Cons: Larger than most. Difficult to dig smaller diameter (baguettes) out of the slots. The bread rack does not rise very much when toasting is completed. Its a real pain getting out bread that can't be reached. Why: because that nice quality, thick steel holds in heat and its deep. Toast tongs don't have sufficient room to spread and grab. I bought this for its looks. At this point its the best toaster I've ever owned.

Fantastic toaster. This is next level toasting, people. It works even better than all the hyped out reviews. And look at it! A work of art; naturally it is Italian designed. Worth every single penny. Can't speak to longevity because I finally have a toaster that does what it is supposed to do. Haven't tried the insert for panini or the warmer yet, but I sure plan to and soon.

This toaster is already broken, under three months after purchasing. This morning the center coils just stopped working. But Kitchen Kapers gave me the number of SMEG in the USA and they are replacing the unit free of charge. Although Kitchen Kapers was very helpful, the toaster itself I don't think is worth the money. It looks pretty but toasts unevenly, often burning the toast on the ends. When the toast pops out, it also goes flying out of the toaster. The controls being on the side mean you are setting temp blind. I unfortunately have two of them, so sort of stuck with them. But Smeg is making good on the broken toaster. I did need to make sure the bagel (one sided toasting) button (on the far side) was not engaged and it wasn't. One can probably do better.

I tried two of these, neither one worked well. One side did not toast. I had to turn the toast around to toast both sides. Beautiful toaster tho, but performance wasn’t good

It looks great and works great! We bought the model with elongated slots that will handle oversized bread easily. Great purchase.

Cadeau pour mon épouse qui l’adore, faut dire qu’elle avait déjà la bouilloire donc😗🫢🤣 le look est superbe et ça complète bien un décor Le premier envoi reçu via Intelcom était défectueux mais assurément endommagé lors du transport car la boîte intérieure était aussi fripée. Amazon avisé le même jour, retour de l’ancien et deux jours plus tard, je recevais le nouveau, Merci pour ce service

Fácil de usar, de muy buena calidad, recomiendo ampliamente.

Até o momento funcionando perfeitamente

Very heavy and good quality. Toasts perfectly. I bought the matching kettle, but found it had plastic parts in it. The toaster is much better quality.
