I really do like this toaster and its features, and I especially love how it looks on the counter.  The drawback is that it doesn't toast both sides of the toast equally when toasting only one slice - one side is always lighter than the other, regardless of which slot is used, and the slots do not indicate whether a single slice should go in one slot or the other.  I like a double toaster since my husband likes his toast lighter than I like; just wish I could find one that toasts both sides the same. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
