Most of the time I use a toaster for English muffins and bagels. One sided! This doesn’t, but rather lightly toasts the other side. It’s not what I want, so I sent it back.
Very uneven toasting. Could never find a good setting. The dial did not click in, just loosely turned. Tried to use it for a week. Exchanging it for a Kitchen Aid.
Great for the price and 3-year warranty. Love the small size and basic functioning. Toasts the bread at level 3, frozen waffles at 3-1/2, but both end up with one side darker than the other. Prefer stainless steel to plastic (and if plastic, black over white, but black wasn't available). It may not last 5 years but meanwhile it's a better value than any others I saw.
Lever fails to lock down to begin toasting sequence 80% of the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
