Hated my old toaster for years but it wouldn't die.  Chose this toaster because of the slot size and the color.  Was not disappoint. Great at toasting plain old bread, bagels, English muffins and artisan breads.  Not only does the toast pop up you can lift it a bit higher to grab it and when ready the toaster beeps
Should have ditched the old toaster sooner [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
