This toaster has extra wide slots to allow for thick sliced bread or bagels to fit, 7 toast shades to allow you to choose how dark/light you want your item to be. Its black steel exterior is sleek and modern looking for your kitchen. The drop down crumb door is for easy cleaning. It has 3 one touch function for frozen or bagel items and a cancel button, with a high lift lever so your able to manuever it easily. We were able to toast frozen waffles and pretzels with ease as the depth was perfect. I would recommend this toaster.
