I've used this toaster daily for a week now and I really like it.  The appearance is simple, which I like.  The toast cooks evenly.  It is easy to change the settings.  I have experimented with different settings and they all work accurately.  It is loud when the toast pops up - which I like because I can hear from different rooms.  As far as toaster go - this is the best one that I've ever owned and I wouldn't change a thing. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
