I purchased this toaster about a month ago to replace one that had stopped toasting.  This toaster is really good.  It toasts both sides of the bread evenly, has wide enough slots to fit a sliced bagel and has a bagel setting.  There is a defrost setting, which I have not used yet, and a reheat setting which ends the days of cold toast!  I really like this toaster and am very happy I bought it.
