We love this toaster. I do especially for doing bagels where it toast on one side and warms the other side. I wish I had something like this along time ago instead of using a regular toaster. My son loves it where it has a defrost setting for his frozen pancakes  He use that setting on his pancakes telling me they come out just perfect every time. It toast your bread  perfect if you want it light or dark it depends on how you like your toast. It is very dependable we have used it now for about 2 weeks and we love it. I highly recommend this toaster it is wonderful. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
