Its very cute, a little rickety:) Does not look cheap though. It works fine, the openings are a little small/narrow for bagels (have to smash the bagel) but it definitely looks pretty. I got the mint color. Mostly I bought if for the color and cuteness. Have for sure had better toasters but they were not this cute.

I’ve used this tester for a while and line absolutely love the color and design. The controls make it easy to adjust the level of toasting. I gave it three stars for two reasons: then slices of toast or pastries, such as pop tarts fall through to the bottom and it makes it difficult to get them back out again. Secondly, the tray that you pull up the bottom to let out pieces of bread and crumbs has a great above it so that you have to shake the toaster to get all of it out. These are two designed flaws, in my opinion, that have me thinking I might find a newer toaster in a month or year or two depending on my budget. Otherwise, it does look lovely it’s just these two functionalities that make me reconsider my choice.

I have only used it a few days, but so far I love it! It is really pretty and does not take a lot of room on the counter like my old toaster. It toasts bread, including thick sourdough and frozen waffles without any issues and it's fast. I was looking for something small and cute and simple that was also decorative and this it.

This toaster looks like a 50’s Buick and does its job in excellent fashion. We purchased this to replace a Breville 4-slice toaster that, admittedly, had numerous premium features and lasted 16 years, but also cost over three times as much then as this Müeller Retro does today.Ultimately, the Breville’s motor driven lower-and-lift mechanism failed so I’m happy to see that this Müeller uses a traditional “manual” lowering mechanism with a spring driven lift when the toast is done. The lift spring is a bit strong for small slices of bread, as they nearly jump out of the toaster, but it is perfect for heavier items like bagels. If a small slice doesn’t quite come up to the top when done, you can lift the paddle to raise it about another half inch, a desirable feature that even the Breville does not offer.I was very pleased to see that the length and width of the slots is identical to the Breville at 5.5” long and 1.5” wide, so it fits almost everything I want to toast. Additionally, this Müeller Retro has a “proper” bagel feature that only toasts one side when selected. It also offers an effective “Defrost” function that adds just the right amount of extra time to the toasting so that a frozen slice comes out toasted to the same degree as it would if it was room temperature at any given setting.We have found that rotating the dial to just over “3 ½” is perfect for typical bread slices and produces a very uniformly tanned surface on both sides. If the bread is frozen, just push the defrost button and the toast still comes out the same as it would unfrozen, it just takes a little longer.Logically, after use, the top 1/3 of the toaster body is quite warm / hot but it cools off quickly. Just be careful if you want to slide it back under the cabinets on the counter that you grab it on the lower part of the body or wait a few minutes.It does have two removable crumb trays, but they are accessed from the back of the toaster, so they are slightly less convenient than if they were front mounted, and I wish the cord was a bit longer, as it is only 30” (76cm) long, and it comes out of the far-right side of the base. This means that if your counter outlet is to the left of the toaster, because of the toaster’s 12” (30cm) width you only effectively have 18” (46cm) of cord left.This might prompt you to use an extension cord to run the toaster. If you do, be absolutely sure that the extension cord is as short as possible and rated for the 1650 Watts (15 Amps at 110 Volts) that this toaster draws when all four slots are being used.Do I miss some of the “fancy” features of the 4-times (today) as expensive Breville? Frankly, not as much as I thought I might. What counts in the end is how uniform and consistent the toast is made, and this Müeller excels in that measure at a very reasonable cost.

It is very pretty and matches with my other retro pieces. Kettle and toaster oven. It toasts evenly and and each person can get their own preference on their own side.

If you’ve always lusted over SMEG appliances but couldn’t bear the price tag, then this toaster is for you. It looks super fancy and high quality and you could be fooled that it was a $400 toaster. The toaster works great. Everything seems like it will last and is made up of quality material. I’m extremely happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it. It looks so nice in the kitchen! Ever better than I expected.

It’s beautiful, therefore I love it. It does bagels backwards though. The elements that heat up for bagels are on the outside rather than the inside, so you’ll have to put your bagels in facing out. Not a big deal. I just saved your first bagel.

Arrived on time and was well packaged. I got the cream colour and it is a perfect match to my other utensils. I like that it has a defrost feature and each side can be can have its own setting. Large slots will accommodate bagels and large bread slices.easy to use and easy to clean. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend.

Customer service contacted me and refunded with no questions asked. So Five Star great customer service. This particular toaster did not work for me, but my best friend loves it. Her keto bread fits perfectly in it without getting lost in the heating elements like her extra-wide toaster does to her thin bread.Update once again. I gave it to my friend and it stopped working after about 4 times of using.It looks nice. Looks are deceiving. It’s fairly expensive for what you get. Made of mostly plastic. It only works well if you have super thin sliced bread. No Texas toast. No bagels. No homemade bread that you tend to slice like a normal piece of bread fits. So basically useless. It seems cheaply made. Will probably break in a month.

I hate one star reviews because they are usually exaggerated, or unfair. I rarely write a one star review, because most products have some redeeming qualities.This toaster deserves this one-star review because the advertised images are not true, and it's simply a bad toaster.The toaster itself is extremely light, and the colored skin is plastic, so beware of scratches, it is not paint and will likely scuff very quickly in some homes. The top is metal, so at least the hottest part should be safe.The bread slots are very misleading. The slots in the metal plate on the top are twice as wide as the widest bread you can put into this toaster. The picture of bread filling out the slot is untrue, and impossible on this toaster, The toaster has an internal wire cage that restricts the size of the bread, and is not moveable. Mass-produced thin cut bread should fit, but not the bread we get from our local bakery and even the thinnest bagels will not fit.This brings me to the unforgiveable part, it toasts unevenly. Bread near the top of the toaster will burn while bread at the bottom of the toaster will not cook.I have two expectations of a toaster, toast bread evenly and accept the bread I want to toast. This fails both. I also don't believe the pretty skin will remain un-scuffed for long. Keep looking for a better option.I added an image of the internal cage that restricts the bread size.I'm returning the toaster, it does not meet my needs. It is pretty and the settings are simple. This does not offset it's inability to perform its primary function.
