I love this toaster! Its completely motorized. The movement is very fluid and quiet. I was originally looking at the Breville model but this toaster does everything that the other one would have and at 1/3 the price! Its very well constructed. And it toasts perfectly after you learn how to use it. Its a bit of a learning curve for the right toasting shade depending on the thickness of the bread item but once you figure out how you like your toast, you can set it to memory. I highly recommend this toaster!
