Amazon.com Review
Elvis would have loved this toaster. With a brushed-metal finish like a customized '57 Chevy, chrome lift-levers and browning-control knobs, and control dials like old-time radios, it's lovingly and wittily retro. Functionally, however, it's 21st century. Two large slots, each 5-1/2 by 1-1/4 inches, handle bagels, English muffins, and thick gourmet breads as well as conventional bread. Push a button, and bagels or English muffins toast only on one side. Push another button, and frozen bread automatically toasts a little longer to account for defrosting time. Slide open a crumb tray on the side and clean up with no hassle. --Fred Brack

 So bad it's comical August 4, 2007
Thomas H. Quinn (St. Paul, MN USA)
Until my wife brought this toaster home from Target I didn't think it was possible to come up with such a poor toaster design. My gosh, humankind been designing toasters for generations. It has an attractive retro look and would go nicely in an Air Stream camper, but in the 6 months we've owned it I don't think I've made one decent slice of toast. They are either under, or over done. Part of the problem is that the control for "doneness" moves so easilly it's always getting jostled out of position. But the most unbelievalbe design flaw of all is that the slots for the toast are so deep you cannot remove the toast without digging it out with a fork or pulling up on the handle. Sometimes you have to rapidly jerk the handle up in hopes that toast jumps up high enough that you can grab it before it falls. It's all rather comical.
 Still working but we're looking elsewhere April 2, 2007
Stephen C. Kistner (Columbia, CA United States)
We've owned this toaster for 2 years now. Because it's lasted that long and due to it's appealing looks, we give it the 2 stars. As for using it for toasting, it rates very poorly. The toast darkness control is unreliable. Leave it in one place and get light toast at one time and dark the next. It has a silly mechanism that supposedly allows for better control when toasting bagels or muffins. The control is useless. The worst part of the machine, however, is that it is nearly impossible to retrieve the toast, bagel, whatever, without getting burned. More than once we've been forced to turn the toaster upside down to get our breakfast (toast and millions of crumbs). Buy it for it's looks, look elsewhere for making toast.
Don't judge a book by its cover... September 12, 2006

Likewise with this toaster. It looks great [especially from several feet away] and although it's expensive it just isn't all that great. Specifically, this toaster is Made in China. So don't think because it has the DeLonghi name it is actually made in Italy or the EU. It's *designed* in Italy is all. Chinese manufacturing is often a good deal for the manufacturer and a bad deal for the customer. I would say that this is one of those cases.
The toaster is suprisingly light as others have mentioned. The fit of the parts where the sides meet the center part of the assembly is not tight - one of the first things I noticed was a gap of varying width on both sides. It's a small gap don't get me wrong, but with the name and the price I was very disappointed. The manufacturing further showed its sub-standard quality when after a few months it stopped working after I cleaned out the crumb tray. I was careful not to get it wet or in any way abuse the unit, but it simply wouldn't toast any more. I ended up going out to get a less expensive product with a similar appearance - so far so good.
It will be a long time before I buy anything from DeLonghi again...

i bought this for its retro look and asthetic chrome gleam, but was i surprised to find it works wonderfully. i have had for 6 years, with no problems. it still toasts my bread and bagels evenly, and even cooks toaster hashbrowns. this is a top notch toaster, and still looks like new.
 A Toaster that Toasts! May 22, 2006

Ok, so it's got it's cheesy factors... the paint rubs off and it looks a little shoty BUT it toasts perfectly! I haven't had a toaster in over a year because in the past 10 years I have gone through 8! None of which actually toasted a piece of bread. A friend of mine gave me this and I love it! I've never enjoyed toast so much!
