Super easy to use . Specially with kids that are learning independence. My 8 year old uses it for his morning waffles . I work overnights and i am not home when his up . Dad allows him to toast his waffles or toast.the toaster is easy to use. And the fact that is small makes it easy to put it on a conner and allow my boy to be independent. The silver and black colors allows it to combine my kitchen electronics very happy with this product.
