I was surprised of how sleek and modern this toaster looks and feels. It is very light, and it get the job done. I have had sour dough toast, regular toast and of course bagels at various temps. Although I wish the slots were longer to accommodate longer slices of bread. You can choose your level of heat aka crispness.  Overall, I can not complaint this toaster does whet it supposed to do very conveniently and evenly. Also the finish makes clean up a breeze
