I'm very happy with my new Cuisinart toaster. It is compact but the slots are plenty big enough for bagels. I like the numerous toasting options and the retro-look push down levers. I've had it for less than a month, so cannot attest to it's various toasting capabilities, but so far so good.
This toaster is compact and attractive. It toasts bread the exact way my family enjoys it. I chose Cusinart because I believe they produce quality appliances at reasonable prices.
