Recently I complained to my wife how, “you’d think with all the improvements in technology, someone would have figured out how to toast bread and bagels more quickly.” The next thing I know, she had ordered the Cafe Express 2-slice toaster and our 20-year old Toaster was history!  It works great, with setting for bagels, frozen, reheat and express for quicker toasting.  Totally satisfied so far!  Great buy.
