This is a good looking toaster! It will blend in very well with any kitchen decor! The black stainless steel finish is definitely beautiful! I love how wide the slots are! They are wide enough to put my fresh bagels and wide sliced bread in. The lever is easy to press down and it pops up all the way so that I don’t have to push the lever up to get my bagel out. I have 7 different toasting shades to choose from. Easy to clean because there is a drop down crumb tray at the bottom. The finish is easy to clean as well with a warm cloth and mild soap. There is a cancel button to use if you need to remove your bread.
