Pros: It is a simple design.  Complements most kitchens and easy to clean.  I like that it has a defrost button, too!  And, it has slots large enough for bagels.

Cons: Lever is difficult to maneuver.  When pushed down, it doesn't want to stay down unless you push it forcefully.  Sometimes, you have a need to pull it up early (burning, etc.) and that, also, is very difficult.

Overall, this is a great, little toaster.  Does everything it is supposed to do without any back-talk.  The bread comes out evenly toasted and I don't have to put it back in for another run.

I loved that I was given a chance to sample this toaster for free, from Spectrum Brands.  Although, they gave me the chance to try it out - my opinions are my own and I do recommend this Black and Decker 2-Slice Toaster.
