The toaster is a nice blue color and the style is kind of retro. Included are the standard features that I normally expect to have with a toaster (bagel and frozen settings), but this toaster also has a quick check lever. I really like that I can use this feature to lift the toast up part way through the toasting cycle to check its doneness.  After checking, you just lower the lever back down and the cycle continues. No more awkwardly trying to peer into the toaster to see if your bread is perfectly golden. This toaster has a convenient removable crumb tray which I really appreciated for ease of keeping the toaster clean.  The slots on the toaster are very wide and fit even a very fluffy bagel. The toaster did a good job of evenly toasting my bread product, and the plastic outer covering did not get hot during use.
