We bought this toaster to replace a 4 slice in line white Cuisinart when the element burned out. There were no toasters similar to the old white one, so we settled for the two slice unit. The only negative comment I would have is the selection buttons and the way they are set up. It would make more sense to most users to select how the toaster was to be used prior to energizing the cook lever,not after the unit was in the process of cooking  what has been inserted into the slots. Other than this oddity, the toaster works fine.
