I needed to replace my toaster after. a recent move even though it was packed in it's original box materials.  My old unit still worked, but it's "ringer" no longer sounded so I found myself having to stand and wait and watch to see when things were ready to remove.  Since I used my toaster oven ALL the time, this was a REAL inconvenience.  So, after looking thru my options I ordered this model.  I'm very pleased.  The ONLY downside which I find frustrating and a drawback to the design is if you want to remove the item before it's time you can NOT stop the timing; you just remove it and let the timing run out (which I liked about my last toaster oven).
