I have been using the Black and Decker 2 slice toaster and it works great! I like how it matches the rest of my kitchen appliances that I have, and that it fits very nice on my kitchen counter. I use it every morning for toasted bread and I like how even my bread comes out toasted. With this toaster you can also toast bagels in them. It has two wide slots that will fit perfectly in them. What I also like about the toaster is that it has a tray at the bottom that will collect the crumbs from the bread. No more messy counter top.
