- Does it fit bagels and thick bread?
- Yes. The slots are wide enough for bagels and thick-cut slices, but they are short, so long sourdough loaves will stick out and need turning.
- How many browning settings does it have?
- Six levels, set with a dial on the side. Defrost and reheat are separate buttons, and there is a cancel button to stop mid-cycle.
- Is there a bagel setting?
- No. It has defrost and reheat only, so bagels toast on both sides unless you watch them.
- How do I clean it?
- Pull out the removable crumb tray at the back and wipe the body with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the chrome.
- Does it match other Smeg 50s appliances?
- Yes. It comes in the same colors and chrome trim as the 50s kettle and fridge line, so it can be matched to the rest of the set.
- Is it worth it over a basic toaster?
- Only if the retro look matters to you. A plain two-slice toaster toasts about as well for far less; the Smeg adds design, metal build and matching colors.
- Where is the Smeg 50s Retro Two-Slice Toaster cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $229.95, as of our latest check.
