I like the stainless steel-look finish on this toaster, but I have to say it doesn't wipe clean easily. I like to wipe it down after each use, but it's almost stained after just sitting on the counter. I have to wipe it down very hard with 409 or another cleaner and it still isn't 100% shiny and clean. It works great, though, and toasts evenly, for the most part.
