While this toaster lookd great and has nice features like the re-warming setting, I was not happy with a few things. The cord is very short and did not extend far enough to come out of the appliance garage on my counter. The space where the toast, bagel, etc., pops up is very deep and while it might be good for large items, I had to fish an enlish muffin out with a fork because it does not pop up high enough.

Save your fingers and your money and if you like evenly toasted breads find something else. A loser from the people who make great coffee makers.

This toaster is aesthetically very pleasing to the eye, makes good toast from a variety of different breads, bagles, crumpets and the like. Toasting is fairly even, and the toast remains quite moist which is good. So overall I was pretty happy... until... the underside of the toaster started going rusty, the lip where the chrome folds under. This started happening soon after I bought the toaster, and thought it was just surface rust from moisture in the kitchen, but it looks a bit more serious, probably going to see what Krups say about this. I was replacing my Morphy Richards 1950's toaster with a mordern equivelant, but it doesnt look like it will stay in top condition for 5 years, let alone 50?

I'm not sure why everyone is getting all upset at Krups, I received three of their products when I headed off to college this fall and I really like them, especially this toaster which has always functioned perfectly and is the only nice looking thing in my apartment. Also, to the previous reviewer who retrieved an english muffin out of his or her toaster with a fork, this is a really bad idea, try using something that won't conduct electricity next time.

Just got this toaster. It toasts great, looks nice. The cord length was just right for us (my toaster has a carport, not a garage). The real test will be how long it lasts--- ask me again in 10 years.
