Unique looking with the soft polypropylene body contrasting with the chrome; distinctive and attractive for an item that sits in plain view in the kitchen all the time. With normal bread in before lowering, the bread sticks almost 1/2 way out of the toaster, making it very easy to remove hot toast, to toast smaller items (the plunger will go up even further to assist); the slots are extra wide so, although I have not used the sandwich cage accessory, I can see how there is enough room to make a sandwich and toast it in the cage (apparently a British idea, and maybe something worth investigating). I am doing normal toast on only setting 2, bagels on 3 and with the separate bagel feature they come out perfect! (bagel feature: push a button on the end of the darkness knob so that the heating elements change their normal output to get the bagels just right). Real British crumpets (not English Muffins) toast on 8.
The machine feels solid as if it will last a long time. The Cobalt Blue color is more of a bluish-purple in normal light, but very attractive.
Very happy with the machine (the vendor that sent ours had it to us inside 48 hours with normal shipping!)
August 2009: an update, 2 1/2 years after first writing this review the toaster still works well and looks good. The colour has not faded and the performance has been solid.

This toaster is not one of the cheap, lightweight, worthless toasters routinely sold for $19.99 or less. The ones you can expect to throw out in a year or less. It is substantial and attractive with some nice features. I especially like the extra boost for shorter pieces of bread or English muffins, which is accomplished by pulling up on the toasting lever. It does seem to take longer than some toasters to toast the bread, but overall does a fine job. The color is nice, too.

…but it’s not to be compared to the more expensive dualit models. the first one I got from amazon had to be replaced after three weeks of use because one of the heating elements stopped working (amazon’s customer service was great with the exchange) but I have not had the same problem with the replacement they sent–not yet, anyway. It looks great though.
