Its ok. Manual is sparse as to what buttons like “bagel” do. Seems to toast one side of the bread more than the other. Sliding the bread closer to the center of the toaster helps slightly.
A big disappointment! Do not buy! One side of the bread toasts and the other side BURNS.

Nice little toaster. Works as described. Only cons are cord could be longer and slots could be wider to accommodate thick bagels. Otherwise I'd give it five stars.
