We needed to make a quick purchase as our toaster of 25 years was ruined by wax. Ran up to Menards had three toasters to choose from, this one had all the features I was looking for bagel, reheat, frozen... It's compact, trusty, and gives a perfect toast every time. Wide enough for my bagel and regular bread, but my son says it's a little short for large pan bread slices.
You have to give this taster a chance. There are lots of bad reviews and lots of good reviews. Based on my findings, you must go through a learning curve with this product. I have found the item you are toasting, if using only one slot, will always toast more on the common slot side, but if you use both slots (toasting two things) the middle side will not toast as much. At any time do not go above the #3 setting or it will burn the middle side. There is too much burn power in this toaster. My first slice of bread burned on the #4 setting. The presets are useless. Overall, you get what you pay for and you must go through the trial-and-error period on your common items for this work OK.
