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. Four large slots, each 5-1/2 by 1-1/4 inches, handle bagels, English muffins, and thick gourmet breads as well as conventional bread. Slots are paired, each pair with its own lift-lever and browning control. 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. At 12 by 11 by 8 inches, it's not compact, but, as was said about Elvis, when you've got it, flaunt it.

It's got style, it's got substance, it's the sleek retro styled toaster from De Longhi, the renowned Italian appliance company, with room for 4 slices of bread in its extra long, extra wide slots. This is one appliance to which you won't begrudge valuable counter space.
