The toaster started out fine, but the lever stopped staying down when I start it, I have to hold it down to get it to toast anything. I disassembled it once already after googling the issue and cleaned off the mechanism by the lever, but it's started happening again, which is ridiculous for me barely having used it. I'm not going to open it up to clean it off every week.
We had a toaster just like this one and it lasted for 14 years. So, I decided to buy the same brand and type again and hope for another 14 years. It does a great job with bread, bagels and English muffins. You can also defrost bread before toasting.
