Out of the box, had difficulty putting the drip pan to go back into position. The  cord length and position on the toaster is optimal. Like the  "bagel" setting which assures that my English muffins are done the first time rather than 2nd attempt. Light and slim, easy to clean. Heats quickly with no issues. Like the numerical settings for intensity of the toast. Easy to stop the toast with a  flip of the handle with minimal effort
