This toaster is compact and light weight and simple to operate but has features that up the game. Toasting bagels? There's button for that and extra-wide slots. Toasting regular bread? Fast and easy. Using fancy artisan bread or Texas toast bread? This sweet little toaster handles all comers with equal ability. Setting the dial to the correct spot to get the "toastiness" I wanted took a little trial and error but that's par for the course. Once I found my setting, the rest is quick and what goes in comes out perfect.
