Description
Breakfast with a Retro Glow
The slots on the Smeg 50's Style TSF01 toaster are 36 mm wide, and that is the detail that matters most when you are toasting thick-cut bread or bagels rather than thin sliced loaves. There are 6 toasting levels set on an illuminated control knob, and backlit buttons bring in the defrost, reheat and bagel functions when breakfast calls for them. When the toast is ready, it pops up automatically. The stainless steel body in matt Champagne is finished with a polished chrome top and base, and 950 W of power sits inside. A removable, washable polished steel crumb tray keeps the worktop tidy, while anti-slip feet hold everything steady.
Why Our Specialists at AD Love It
Our specialists rate the 36 mm slots most of all: wide enough for thick-cut bread and bagels without forcing or squashing the slice. They also like how the illuminated control knob and backlit function buttons make the 6 toasting levels and the defrost, reheat and bagel settings easy to read across a dim early-morning kitchen, so the first slice of the day comes out right.

Six Shades on One Knob
The TSF01 offers 6 toasting levels, selected on an illuminated control knob that is easy to read in a dim kitchen. Lower settings give a light, barely coloured slice, while the higher levels deliver a deep golden brown for those who like a crunch. Both slots are 36 mm wide, and when the toast is ready it pops up automatically, so you can turn your attention to the kettle or the coffee in the meantime.
Defrost, Reheat and Bagel
Backlit buttons select the extra functions. Defrost lets you toast bread straight from the freezer, reheat warms a slice that has cooled while you were distracted, and the bagel function is there for mornings when a bagel replaces the usual loaf. Being backlit, the buttons are easy to spot at a glance. Together with the 6 toasting levels, these functions mean the TSF01 handles far more than plain sliced bread.
Matt Champagne, Easy to Clean
The stainless steel body wears a matt Champagne finish, with a polished chrome top and base that mark it out as part of Smeg's 50's Style range. Anti-slip feet keep the 2.4 kg toaster steady on the worktop. It measures 198 mm high, 310 mm wide and 195 mm deep, or 325 mm wide including the lever. Cleaning is simple: the polished steel crumb tray is removable and washable, so crumbs are dealt with in moments rather than shaken out over the sink.
