We like simple and straightforward and this toaster is that...  We can do four pieces, of whatever, if we want.  It allows for bagels and thick or thin toasting.  It takes a push down of a lever to start and pops up when done.  We can cancel in the middle if we want.  The exterior acts like it is smudge poof stainless.  Nothing more is needed...  Simple, makes it sweet! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
