This is a very nice toaster. I really like the slightly smaller footprint than some of the large ones out there now. It does fit a bagel nicely although a little tight. Toasts them well. It is not quite as deep as some other toasters I have had but still does toast to the top of larger items. It does not have a defrost button like some other toasters but I don't think I have ever used that function anyway. Glad to have replaced my larger toaster with this one!
