I am very happy with my Cuisinart two slice Toaster!  It toasts slices of bread to perfection.....toasty on the outside and soft on the inside.....to any degree of color you desire.  It also toasted my English Muffins to my liking also......toasty on the cut side without browning too much on the outside.  I haven't tried bagels yet but I would imagine they will toast well too!  I would definitely recommend this toaster!
