The Hamilton Beach 2-Slice Toaster has an attractive stainless steel surface and looks great on my countertop [matching several other appliances].  Besides making regular toast, it's important to note that puffy bagels and clingy English muffins will pop up perfectly in the extra wide slots.  Even better, using the bagel setting, it will toast the cut side [and warm the outside] of bagels, chunky bread or hamburger buns.  Frozen items such as waffles are thawed, then toasted without sticking. A good highlight: The toaster automatically turns off at the end of any cycle, even if food were to jam.  Other features I like are the slide-out crumb tray and cancel button.
