I loved my old antique toastmaster, purchased at a home sale in 1971, but it was limited to size of item toasted.  I loved that I would hear a click prior to being finished.  The toast was always perfect!  My husband wanted a new toaster that could accommodate linger and thicker breads, so I researched the internet and picked the 4 slice long slot toaster with high lift lever.  It is a perfect replacement.  I love the versatility the toaster has to offer.  I could not have made a better choice.  It looks great sitting on the counter and my husband loves it.  I look like a hero!
