Bought This Toaster because my son had one and was very pleased, unfortunately mine was not that consistant.  The two toasting elements did not toast exactly the same, the right ones were hotter so I had to drop the temp 1 notch to get the same on both.  As far as left side and rigth side of bread it was a little inconsistant as well it was not even toast on either side.  Now saying this, it was better than the last 3 toasters I have bought from other name brands and we are still using it.  Just a little disappointed that it wasn't as consistant as my son's was.
