This is the second Alinea toaster we have used. Took the first one back as it didn’t toast both sides of the bread (tried all 4 slots). Got a replacement and exactly the same issue. Problem we have is we bought the kettle too, so both have to go back to Myer.

Are you a petty crook who keeps getting nicked by the fuzz for leaving your fingerprints as the scene? If yes then look no further as we have the product for you - the Sunbeam Alinea finger print remover 2000!! After just one use to 'burn' this bad boy in, the body will be so hot that you can have those finger prints away in no time. Just ensure you have a good supply of cool running water nearby as this thing gets hotter than "you know who's" sauna. But seriously though, I ran this once to burn it in only to find that the elements did not heat evenly and the sides were so hot that I left my finger prints behind when I moved it to the side, much to my 12 year olds amusement as I let fly with all sorts of words. I didn't cook any toast in it as there was no point. It looks great and his nice wide slots (some of us like wide slots), but it will be going back to where I purchased it from within 24 hrs. If you have kids who can reach the bench that this thing is on; don't buy it. It's dangerous and will burn little ones. Go for a much cheaper Sunbeam toaster that has a heat proof plastic body.

It’s a beauty and is taking pride of place on my benchtop ,as it is so attractive it doesnt look out of place there
