With four slots, each of us can have the setting that is preferred. One lighter. One darker. I don't think the browning is even on each side of the toast, but it is okay.
We upgraded to this toaster after having problems with a different brand. This one not only can toast 4 slices at once, but when you select the certain amount of toasting, it does what I expect.
I have had this name brand before and was pleased ...however, this model is not performing for me. One side of one slice doesn’t toast. I have no idea how to return it...
