I haven't had a toaster since before college.  I didn't realize how much I missed it until my husband and I received this as a wedding present.  We've had it for several months now.  I love that it looks sleek, but it also works great.  The dial is great at helping you choose how toasted you want your bread or bagel.  It's also super easy to open up the back and clean out the crumbs.  Would definitely purchase this if you're in need of a toaster. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
