I like the look of it..can't beat the price. One reason I replaced my old 4-slice toaster was how it toasted one or two bread slices....toasted on one side and barely on the other. This toaster is doing the same thing. I figured the odds of getting one that toasted all four slices evenly was probably low so I kept it. Now I end up with some too dark on one side but perfect on the other...or perfect on one side and barely toasted on the other.
