I purchased this toaster some 18 months ago in Sea Salt. Love the finish on the toaster and our Breville Smart Kettle which will compliment our soon to be finished kitchen! The toaster has all the options from frozen bread to bagels and crumpets. The countdown is great for children who are on the edge of being hangry as they can see when their toast is going to be ready. Bit in all seriousness the countdown is a great visual for when you might be wanting to get condiments ready for your toast! Great toaster that cannot be faulted!
