This toaster has the best implementation of the "Bagel" feature that I have seen: full strength heating on the insides, and 50% heating on the outsides. Other toasters either don't heat the outsides at all, or just extend the toasting cycle to last longer than for regular bread.

Other than that, the toaster is OK. It seems to take longer than average to toast things, and the push down lever takes extra effort to make it stay latched down when you push on it. The evenness of the toasting is OK but not exceptional.

Overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
