I LOVE my new Hamilton Beach 2 sliced toaster! My need was a basic toaster that did not take up too much room on the counter. I love the sleek, classic lines of the toaster. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and easy to wipe clean. The settings are easy to understand and adjust to your toasting preference. The slots dimensions are generous and are perfect for bagels and other thick cut breads. The clean out tray is easy to access. My favorite features are the cancel button and the auto-shutoff the prevents burning if the bread gets stuck and prevents the "pop up". Overall, a great classic toaster.
