I was pleasantly surprised this toaster was smaller than I had expected.  I mean its still great and gives me more room for other stuff but this toaster has a dial so you can get your toast as light or as dark as you prefer it also has an option for bagels. The  black and silver so it will look great on my counter the only thi dont like is where the cord is compared to where my electrical plug in is .. I mean we have a specific spot for the toaster and I wish the cord had been in the middle of the back of the toaster instead of the side the cord is the resson for the 4 stars  other than that its a great toaster
