Alessi makes great modern electric appliances for the kitchen and home. Each Alessi electrical appliance has great function and really great sleek design. The juicer is quiet and requires little effort to squeeze. The toaster allows room for a baguette and has a nice feature for fat items like a bagel where you can turn one side off so as not to burn the outer side. The Alessi hand vacuum hangs like a modern wall feature. The modern electric kettles heat up fast and decorate the dining table. We only wish they would make more. Alessi modern appliances come with a 2 year guarantee against manufacturer's defects.
