I thought about buying a cheapo toaster for about $20-$30, and then read the reviews. They all said the same thing good for a cheap toaster, but it breaks/doesn't do x well/etc. This toaster does the one and only thing I want from a toaster it toasts bread. Really evenly and really well. It looks funky too (which I think is a good thing). The only slight negative is that it's definitely bigger than your average toaster I would say about 30% bigger in height and depth. But maybe that's because that's what's needed to actually toast bread well. Definitely worth buying!

This toaster works really well. It is more of an orangy-red than fire engine red, in case you care.

Best Deals for Bodum Bistro 2-Slice Pop-Up Toaster with Cool Touch Exterior

It was hard to forego the desire to have a retro Toastmaster on the kitchen counter. The style of the Bistro is a fresh and pleasing change.

The mechanism feels smooth and positive. The crumb tray is rather shallow but fits well.

The bread regularly comes out evenly toasted. Slices of the loaf from our horizontal bread machine fit well. If your bread slices are square rather than rectangular the upper edge will stick out of the top of the toaster.

The controls are blessedly simple. There are only two buttons, one for ejection, and one for a defrost setting.

This toaster hits the three things most desired in any appliance: attractive, good mechanics, good results.

Honest reviews on Bodum Bistro 2-Slice Pop-Up Toaster with Cool Touch Exterior

I have gone through 3 toasters in about 1.5 years, Proctor Silex, Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart. The last toaster I bought didn't work correctly so I tried to fix it instead of a trip to the store. That toaster lasted about a year after I repaired it and even then the toast would come out too black or not done enough and not evenly toasted.

I decided I would get me a good toasted the Bodum works like a toaster should. Turning the knob actually gives you fine control over the toasting, set it and forget it. Also with the Bodum the toasting if very even. With the others I had it was either black or nothing, so I would end up standing over the toaster looking inside trying to pop my toast up at the correct moment. The mechanism for lowering the toast is extremely smooth. It is a little bigger than I had though it would be but it works great which is the most important.

This Bodum toaster is very stylish and works perfectly well. Does all it says...

It releases a bad smell at first use (normal) so run it empty 3-4 times before toasting bread.

I totally recommend!
