The toaster doesn't toast both sides evenly. the outside elements do not toast the bread by the time the inside elements complete their side of the bread. Frustrating!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It seems a solid enough machine. Reasonably priced and doesn't take much space. The lift may be a little flimsy, but this is replacing a very substantial toaster, so it may just seem so by contrast.
One side of the bread toasts darker than the other, same for both slots. I'm not picky, but anyone who is might look twice. I wish the slots were a bit longer since so much bread is non-standard.
