Since season six of “Love Island USA” premiered on Peacock last summer, lots of beauty products and fashion have come out of the villa. But one of the most iconic points of the season was the famous avocado toast, which was made almost every day in the villa with the SMEG toaster. While many SMEG appliances, including the electric kettle, were also spotted in the villa, it’s safe to say that this toaster was the most-used and most popular appliance.

If you want to transform your home into the villa, or if you’re just revamping your kitchen space, this SMEG toaster deserves to be added to your countertop.

This SMEG toaster has two extra-wide slots for toasting bagels, sourdough bread, hamburger buns, frozen waffles and more. There are six browning levels to achieve your perfect shade, plus self-centering racks that hold toast upright and four functions for toasting different items.

Not only is this toaster functional, but it also fits perfectly in any modern, contemporary or colorful kitchen. The bright pastel pink color is a standout, but it comes in over 10 other colors, too. It has a retro look with a glossy finish, and it’s small enough to fit in small kitchens or apartments.

The Love Islanders aren’t the only ones who love this toaster. Amazon reviewers rave about this toaster making the best bagels and toast.

“After hearing all the buzz about Smeg’s retro-style appliances, I decided to treat myself to their toaster, and it hasn’t disappointed!” says one reviewer. “It toasts evenly and consistently, which is a big deal for me because I’m picky about my toast. I’ve tried everything from bagels to thicker artisan bread, and it handles them all with ease, thanks to the wide slots.”

So, if you value great toast and a vintage and retro design, treat your kitchen to this gorgeous SMEG toaster.
