I love this toaster.  The glass makes it look a little more modern, but what I like about it is the fact that large pieces of sourdough bread can fit in the slot.  It has a very enthusiastic pop up which makes me laugh.  Sometimes it pops up and just sit top or I can catch it in mid air as it comes out. Longs and not too wide it fits in just the place I had intended it to be.  Happy toaster, happy me.
