This is such a good looking appliance, it fits fantastically on the counter in a modern kitchen. The toasting levels are very straightforward and easy to understand. Furthermore, the digital timer is perfect for knowing how much time is associated with each level. So it help me to plan out / coordinate with other things I might be cooking or re-heating. The slots have a good size for fitting common slices of bread and bagels. And the tray is super easy to remove and dump old crumbs.
