After the lever on our last two toasters got stuck, and eventually broke, I opted for the Cuisinart touchscreen toaster. While this toaster still does have a lever,  it's done away with the knobs and buttons. Which gives it a really sleek,  state of the art look. The options only light up when in use, and automatically turn off when the toaster is not being used. The option to add 30 seconds is really helpful, as it allows your bread to easily cook to perfection. I also appreciate being able to watch my bread, without having to interrupt the toasting cycle. There are 6 different browning options, and slots wide enough to accommodate a nice crispy bagel. All in all,  we love our new toaster and all the customization options, available on it.
