With its sleek design and modern matte black finish, this toaster takes pride of place on the contemporary countertop. Two separate heating elements for each of the toaster's two slots deliver balanced heat distribution so that every slice of bread is evenly toasted, on both sides, while the toaster's exterior stays cool to the touch. Seven browning modes toast to suit your preference, and the soft-lift feature ensures that bread slices, English muffins and toaster pastries glide up gently for easy removal.
