Our toaster was on its last leg so we decided to try this farberware 2 slice rapid toaster, the first couple times of making toast we unfortunately burned the toast, then it dawned on me that it is indeed advertised as a “rapid toaster” lol so after adjusting the toast timer to less than we would on our previous toaster, it in fact did perform quite perfectly! Perfect toast in havoc the time we were used to! It also has a defrost button that we use to cook frozen waffles and such and that function works wonderfully as well. The toaster has a nice stainless sleek finish and we love it!
