Bought this to replace an old, inefficient toaster, and glad we did.  It has several features built in, the best of which is the self-centering of the brackets to accommodate the size of bread, bagel or English muffin.  The only drawback we found is the size of the toaster.  It is larger than most and takes up an entire cabinet shelf or must be housed on the countertop.
