Purchased this toaster to replace one that I had for about 18 years. This one beeps when toast is done, which startles me every time, lol! But it makes really great toast, perfect for bread and English muffins, so far. I haven't tried bagels yet, but am confident it will do a superb job. So glad I got this toaster, and looking forward to years of enjoyment! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
