This is a toaster like no other. It is easy to maneuver without reading instructions. The toasts come out evenly toasted to your desired preference. It runs very smooth without glitches or sounds. Esthetically it is very appealing and easy to clean. I am amazed by how effective it is and how easy it has been to master. It does not over complicate the task of toasting. I use it every day and it is a dream. Highly recommend to have it at home.
