I've had a basic toaster for years now, pop bread in, pop bread out. This is so much more than a toaster. Toasts, air frys, broils, and bakes whatever you can fit on the racks or basket. I love how much bread I can toast at once. Cooking toast for several people used to take a bit as I could only do 2 slices at a time. This baby can do 6. The settings take a little getting used to versus just pushing down a lever. And this takes a bit more counter space but I'm pretty much over conventional toasters now. My old toaster sits abandoned on the table lol.
