(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Frankly we bought this as kitchen jewelry. It goes perfect with out other red kitchenaid items and is nice enough to leave out. We were tired of getting out old ugly toaster and putting it away every day. The toaster has some neat features but frankly doesn't toast especially better than the much less expensive model it replaced. I do like the feature that keeps the toast warm if you don't get to it in a timely manner. Makes timing the eggs a little easier. LOL
