Bought this to replace a stainless steel Cuisinart toaster that was not toast evenly. Got this one as it was recommended by Wirecutter but am not impressed. It all of the toasting elements heat up evenly. Top half of the slice of bread toasts and the bottom half doesn’t. One side toasts and the other side doesn’t. Have to shift the slices and retoast which is a royal pain and usually one part of the toast is too dark.

Lever fails to lock down to begin toasting sequence 80% of the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great for the price and 3-year warranty. Love the small size and basic functioning. Toasts the bread at level 3, frozen waffles at 3-1/2, but both end up with one side darker than the other. Prefer stainless steel to plastic (and if plastic, black over white, but black wasn't available). It may not last 5 years but meanwhile it's a better value than any others I saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!
