I absolutely love this Farberware Rapid Toaster!  I can not believe how fast I am able to toast items.  It has got to be at least half the wait.  It works great at toasting bread and bagels and even better at warming up and toasting frozen waffles and frozen fruit filled breakfast pastries.  The toaster toasts bread, and other items evenly.  You don't need to worry about having cold spots, or burnt bread.  There are 6 shade settings, all you need to do it turn the knob to the number you would like.  It has extra wide slots that can easily fit an overloaded bagel.  It also has a removable crumb tray that makes for easy cleaning.
