Failed after 6 months,
This review is from: Rowenta Jasper Morrison Toaster
I purchased this toaster on April 3 2007 after reading a humorous article in the New York Times Style magazine by the Samurai Shopper, S.S. Fair. It failed yesterday two days after six months of light use. It just "BIP" continuously without turning on the Toaster.
It is a beautifully designed object by Jasper Morrison. (By the way, the JW website has posted warning of electrical failure on all the Rowenta electronic appliances it designed, the toaster, the coffee maker and the kettle.) It has 7 levels of browning and a drawer for easy cleaning of crumbs. It was manufactuered in France, not Germany. Its poor manufacturing quality does not justify the high price.

All Design and No Function,

This review is from: Rowenta Jasper Morrison Toaster
I love Rowenta products and have been extremely pleased with everything I own from this manufacturer. My last Rowenta toaster lasted over 10 years without any problems. However the Morrison designed toaster stopped working after only 1 year of light use. I am extremely disappointed considering the price of this toaster Jasper Morrison Toaster by Rowenta Germany.

A triump of form over function - poor basic performance,
By Quicksilver "Jon" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rowenta Jasper Morrison Toaster
I don't often pan a product, but at this high selling price, it doesn't begin to measure up with the most basic function of a toaster - evenly toasted bread. It produces very uneven heat across the surface of the bread with a hot band horizontally across the middle, only lightly heated on the bottom, and lightly toasted at the top. This becomes more evident at every setting greater than the lightest two. The basic design of the heating element is flawed with one hot rod extending horizontally across the center of the bread and reliance on polished reflectors behind the rod to reflect and distribute the radiant heat of that rod across the top and bottom of the bread. Instead of using small heating wires across the entire surface, as in almost every toaster since the dawn of electricity, this slick design attempts to improve on the proven and fails. Sorry, but it's been an expensive lessen in relying on a name brand - I like their irons - but, not always getting what you pay for.
