I had a Black and Decker that worked fine but I was unable to clean the inside and the baked on grease looked gross! I like to keep my small appliances very clean and new looking but the inside was not cleanable. This one I have good access to the inside and it is made to be cleaned, as a bonus the toast gets done exactly as you tell it to, I like mine lightly toasted and my son likes his darker and they both turn out exactly as we program it! Pretty surprising. I like the nice classic look of this one, it goes with my other appliances and so far I love it! Plus it was a good price during the holidays!

Pros: All good!
Cons: No cons!
