We bought this toaster after reviewing the few competitive long slot toasters on the market.  Brevell has alway had a good name so we purchased this model even though we thought it was a hefty price for a toaster.  This morning, the doneness knob broke off after only 6 weeks of use.  We have noted that others have had this happen as knob appears to be connected to the body by a flimsy piece of plastic. Very disappointed.
