Nothing special
I bought this toaster because Consumer reports said it was a good buy and that it toasted even, I find that it is not much better than the better model Cuisinart toaster that I had, but I do admit that it did a FAIR job of even toasting, but not worth the price for what you get, very plain and basic! Had I known I would have put up with a little uneven toast and saved 50 buck's
LOUSY TOASTER
The toaster does not toast well - have to push it down twice just to get toast once.
browning problems
I keep my bread in the freezer for added freshness, unfortunately this toaster doesn't brown frozen bread very well. I have to set the brown-ness setting all the way to black and it gives it an OK toastiness. Usually I have to retoast a few minutes longer to get a good brown-ness. I'm sure if your bread is not frozen it works fine.
this toaster does the job
It has no fancy bells and lights but it does the work it was designed for very well.
Pretty but not amazing
This toaster, like other reviewers have said, doesn't toast very dark unless you set it on a very high setting. For me, that's really okay because I don't mind turning the toaster up. It is a good value for the money, though.
