After much research I decided to order this toaster. The model is sleek, matte stainless steel finish with easy clean slot area. Made toast and frozen waffles. Toasting took a little practice to get the right results I was looking for. My complaint with other toasters had been uneven toasting results (one side lighter than other) , not here! Happy to say toast came out perfect, both sides evenly browned. Hopefully this toaster will continue to produce satisfactory results.
