I love my new toaster!! Breakfast toast, bagels and muffins are perfectly toasted with a timer! I know how much time I have to make my morning latte and still have warm toast! Throw in a mini pizza, grilled cheese sandwich for dinner! I even sliced apples, sprinkled with cinnamon and baked on tray!! The uses are immeasurable! My toast comes out perfect with the shade variable feature. I use thin sliced toast and it use to burn in my old toaster! This Ninja makes it perfectly on a 2 setting.
