This toaster is so elegant which makes my kitchen look so much more elegant. I love that. My daughter loves toasting her bagels in it. They are cooked to perfection in her high end toaster. It reminds me of a toaster you would see in a house on a tv show of the rich snd famous, she says. It is super easy to cook toast, bagels, waffles snd English muffins to perfection with the darkness dial and cancel button. Fingerprints wipe off super easy. It is such a high quality kitchen appliance. I will highly recommend. I will also be looking for other appliances to match.
