The toaster is not only pretty but quite functional with extra wide and extra deep slots to accomodate a wide variety of breads. A favorite feature is the lift control lever which actually lifts the bread out of the toaster so you don't have to dig around with a fork to get it out. The defrost button which defrosts and toasts my morning bagel in one step. A reheat button which reheat without browning. To make cleaning easier the toaster has a large removable crumb tray.
Capresso is better known for making the best coffee and cappucino makers. The Capresso toaster is a great expansion to that line.
