This is a lovely, compact, heavy duty white plastic 4 slice toaster. It has separate controls, so one bagel can be toasted darker on #5, and the other can be toasted lighter on #3, at the same time. It doesn't bother me, but the interior coils heat up at slightly different speeds, equally slightly uneven toasting... not a big deal. The final toasted item is fine, and very acceptable... just not 100% even. Other than that, the style, size and price are good. It's easy to empty the two trays underneath for easy cleaning of crumbs. I would recommend this toaster to anyone who wants a white toaster that won't show fingerprints like the silver ones do.
