I wanted the Black and Decker 4 slice toaster to try for my family of five.  I wanted an easier solution when making toast for all of us.  My 2 slice toaster was just taking too much time to toast all the bread I needed.  We love this toaster! All four slices toasted evenly, and it was easy for figure out the settings.  It also has a nice sleek look on my counter top.  I would definitely recommend this toaster. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
