Making toast was never so chic,” one reviewer writes, echoing the dozen reviews that comment on the retro design. But according to one reviewer, it’s not all looks: “Words cannot describe how much I love this toaster — a perfect combination of form and function … It’s gorgeous and makes perfect toast. It’s the priciest thing in my kitchen, but worth every penny.” Many reviewers also think the price is worth it. “Frankly, I’ve never seen such evenly toasted bread,” one customer writes, adding, “I almost feel like I don’t deserve the excellence of the toast it produces.

This chrome toaster from Smeg features extra-wide slots that can be used for bagels, artisanal bread, and thick-slice loaves. Racks are designed with a self-centering mechanism, ensuring that your toast ends up perfectly browned every time.

Well-constructed and attractive, with plenty of toasting options. Fits bagels and wider breads without a problem.

Another retro style that users simply love. It’s the perfect way to give an extra special touch to your kitchen.

The control level is the Smeg's greatest weakness, with a tendency to break after a short period of use.

This beautiful toaster might not be worth it. The high price coupled with several reports of uneven toasting, makes us consider it an unreliable option. While we love the look, the main goal of a toaster is to produce evenly toasted bread. Therefore, this is not one of the best options out there, especially considering the huge investment required.
