De'Longhi Icona Vintage CTOV 2103.BK

A vintage style icon, as you can tell from De'Longhi's expanded toaster name, it combines an elegant retro touch with a thoroughly modern feature set in one bottle. Of course, with such data, the device is destined to take a centre position in any kitchen.

Retro with a modern twist

Chrome inserts along the perimeter of the case, the elaborate shape of the handles — everything indicates that we have a guest from the middle of the last century. However, unlike those archaic toasters, the temperamental Italian is equipped with advanced electronics, which are responsible for 6 stages of toasting bread slices, heating, defrosting and one-sided toasting. The last function is useful when you want to get a piece of bread that is toasted on one side and soft on the back.

Unique charm

The special charm of the model is given by a large “kruglyash” with an analogue scale for choosing the degree of desired roasting of slices of bread. At the same time , a quartet of control buttons with neon illumination lined up in a harmonious row on the front panel of the toaster. An integral attribute of the device is also a complete grill, on which it is convenient to heat up buns and croissants for hot drinks.

Competent approach

The "Extra Rise" position assists in removing small toast, thanks to which the toasted slices of bread rise to a height of 20 mm from the top of the slot. The crumbs formed during the work accumulate in the sliding tray. The only serious “but” is the high cost of the toaster. However, the refined appearance and competent approach to baking toasts fully compensate for the immodest price tag of the model.
