Let me start off by saying how easier it is to clean. Being stainless steel comes with alot of benefits including looking good in the kitchen. Easy to wipe off and clean out. Having 4 slots for toast is a plus with a bigger family. It helps to cut time down and this is very important to alot of us in the morning. Heats up quick and very light weight to be able to move from one side to another. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
