I am very happy with this toaster.  With the shade selector I can have my toast just the way I like it. It has extra wide slots with self-adjusting guides.  The toast control lever has extra lift to raise food to the needed level.  It has a bagel button and a button for frozen items. I use the frozen one for waffles.  A really great toaster and does an awesome job. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
