I like how lightweight the toaster is. The slots are wide enough for bagels or thick slices of bread. A button for toasting bagels lights up on the side of the toaster. I did get my bagel a little too brown as I have not learned what numbers go with the amount of browness when toasting. The attached tray on the bottom makes for easy crumb removal. The only negative so far is that the lift up feature of the handle does not bring up the bagel, muffin or toast high enough to easily remove it from the toaster.
