This toaster is attractive with extra wide slots that will accomodate thick slices of bread or bagels. It heats and toasts well with three settings for bagels, defrosting or reheating and 6 heat levels that you can play with to get exactly the result you're after. The only flaw I can find is the location of the power cord in relation to the side of the unit where the controls are. The cord can be re-routed across the bottom to the other side but I don't know if being exposed to the heat will eventually effect the condition of the cord. I guess time and use will tell. Right now I'm happy with this toaster.

Pros: Attfractive finish that's easy to clean, seems well made and sturdy. Has many options for toasting, thawing or reheating.
Cons: The placement of the power cord is odd in that it comes out the same end as the control settings but can be re-routed to the other side.
