" ... My wife and I call it the best toaster in the world. ... "
" ... Now this is a toaster. ... "
" ... Different setting for different things, out of the fridge or off the counter breads. ... BUT IT REALLY TOASTS EVENLY. ... "
" ... Great toaster that does it all! ... Good quality toaster. ... "
" ... makes perfect toast/bagels ... "
" ... Bought this toaster for a second time. ... "
" ... outrageously expensive for a bit of toast but it looks nice and it toasts bread . ... the element doesn’t heat up in a consistent manner along its length so the toast isn’t always evenly toasted. ... "
" ... Best toaster ever! ... "

" ... in looks, quality and functionality. ... "
" ... Nice design, quiet, but pricy ... "
" ... a thing of beauty ... "
" ... Come up and down for a quick look! ... "
" ... The finish is less of true stainless steel and more like a grey stainless coloured metal - if you want it to match perfectly to stainless appliances - it won't. ... "

" ... but worth every penny. ... "
" ... High price but well worth it. ... "
" ... On the expensive side , but well worth every penny. ... "
" ... It was worth the price!! ... "
" ... Even with the higher price tag, it is great value. ... "
" ... It’s tough to rate this 5/5 on “value for money” just because I think it’s a little absurd that anyone would pay $200+ CAD for a toaster . ... No, but amortized over time it's worth the investment. ... "
