It's a toaster... it toasts toast. Looks nice, design is pretty clean. The crumb tray in the front is easy to access and empty. My only complaint with this toaster is that the heat mechanism is not as hot as my previous toasters, so it takes longer than I'm used to to toast everything which is kind of a bummer. Also the numbers on the dial aren't that easy to see so if you live with someone someone who adjusts the level of toasting often you'll need to start paying more attention to it.
