After a couple of attempts, I figured out the correct setting (for my liking) of perfectly toasted bread. This toaster is great. The extra wide openings and the booster lever make getting bread in and out very easy. I also like the easy to pull out and clean crumb tray. I would rebuy and recommend this product.
The toaster setting has to be set much lower than my old one (#3 instead of #5) The inside elements are hotter than the outer ones and will burn the toast unless you set it at a#2

Great toaster for the price!!! Bought for 88-year-old mom to use in her assisted-living apartment and she LOVES it !!! Passed up other pricier toasters to get this one which advertised lifting up smaller items to grab without any tongs or fork or whatever and the feature works GREAT !!! Mom can easily take out her (very small) French-bread-toast and EVERYTHING is toasted so evenly !!! Imagine, someone making a product that works and does exactly what it promises to do.
I was excited about the features of this toaster. BUT, one feature it's missing is the ability to toast a single piece evenly. It only toasts one side and you then need to turn it over to toast the second which then overbrowns the first side. Stuck with a toaster lacking what I consider a vital feature.
