I feel like my toast cooked quicker. I LOVE the fact that it doesn’t get hot on the outside. You can grab the toaster while cooking and it’s cool to the touch. The only thing I don’t like is that one end of the toast gets dark while the other end of the toast doesn’t. So in other words, it doesn’t toast evenly through out. Other than that, it works great!
