I’ve had this brand and model for a dozen years, and decided to get a new one after the top stopped browning toast.  I like that the features are the same, noticed right away that it is lighter, and discovered that touching the sides after toasting is not a good idea as they are quite hot.  I always unplug it after each use.  So far, so good, but I have to admit that the older one was better and sturdier.
