This is a really great toaster. Now only does it look great and is designed really well, it works well. It's stainless steel so it looks great sitting on the counter. One of the really great things about this toaster is that it has extra wide slots - before we would have issues with toasting our bagels because they wouldn't fit/cook right. But with this one, they fit in with plenty of space. The toaster is so easy to adjust to get the right amount of toast to whatever you are cooking. We have used this toaster for many different things and each time it comes out perfectly toasted. This toaster is a rapid toaster so it cooks very quickly, which is great since we have three hungry boys in the morning and this makes feeding them breakfast so much easier and quicker when we are in a rush.
