Don't buy this toaster because it makes better toast. It doesn't. It does no worse or better than a decent $10 toaster. The earlier reviewer was right. There is no centering mechanism so regular thickness bread slices do lean in the slot and do toast unevenly and there is no bagel option... But so what? Buy this toaster because it is big, beautiful and bullet-proof. Built like a tank, it is the epitome of simplicity and "non-cheapness". It looks cool on the counter. The controls operate with smoothness and precision, the way you'd expect on a $200 toaster. Forget the toast, I smile every time I use it.

This is a fantastic toaster, while I would not normally review an appliance we have been so happy with this ,it warrants comment.I start my day every day with this and expect it to last a lifetime. It is heavy duty all steel and heavy bake-lite type knobs, and it perfectly toasts bread or bagels. As well it keeps the toast warm by not popping up, does not transmit heat to the outside of the unit. We love this toaster. The prior review surely must be a joke, stating the bread "leans over in the 1" slot", or that "it is imppossible to only toast 1 side of a piece of bread" ...huh? Ignore that this is better then the dualit and many other higher priced units.

I purchased my toaster and I really like the fact that it is so heavy duty, and doesn't over-heat when you need to toast multiple slices of toast. This is an extremly heavy toaster that does not seem flimsy. It is extremely stylish, and the smart design makes it easy to clean. I have found that this toaster prepares evenly toasted bread each and every time.
