Great Toaster.  I got the red one and it looks beautiful on my counter in my black and white kitchen.  It takes a little longer to heat up than my old toaster did but the toast toasts faster once it's heated.  Someone had complained on one of the reviews on this toaster or another that it only heated one side.  I believe they had it on bagel setting.  Bagel setting in designed to only toast 1 side.  Definitely no issues with toasting.
