This toaster is a great accompaniment to my collection of every-day appliances. It takes up little space, earning itself a permanent spot on the counter. Space-wise, this toaster is about an inch lower and narrower than my last two-slot toaster — why use up more space than necessary! This toaster comes with a bagel setting, a cancel option, and a dial to determine the level of toasty goodness. My family includes older children who are self-sufficient in the kitchen and the simple functionality of this toaster is easy to use and understand. While I enjoy the stainless steel look of kitchen appliances, I really appreciate the darker face of this toaster which lessens the amount of fingerprints to clean up! It fits into my kitchen well and has earned itself a five star review based on it's space-saving design, easy-to-use functionality, and for being easy to keep clean!
