Toasts mostly evenly, works reliably. Nice and affordable, and compact while not feeling like it's gonna break. Has a crumb tray which a lot of others in the budget range don't. So far I'm happy!
When we purchased our new toaster I wanted one that not only toasted the bread perfectly each time, but also looked nice enough to keep on the counter all the time. This one checked all the boxes for me.
I recieved this toaster as a gift. The first time I used it, the bread burned on one side only and the back elements the bread more than the front elements. I adjusted the setting and the same thing happened again, only less. Each time I use this toaster the bread burns on one side. I've even put the setting down to 2 and the bread still burns. I would not buy this toaster.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Attractive looking and has some practical features such as "Cancel" and the ability to raise the toasted slices up for easier access, nevertheless the heat is uneven. It generally works well with 2 slices, but with one slice the toaster tends to toast just one side of the slice.
