This is a nice looking and efficient toaster, which I bought to replace a good looking but crap performing one. This toaster has easy to read browning settings [string of LED lights] that count down as the toasting process progresses. I'l admit thats a bit gimmicky but it looks cool and is easy to read from a distance.Functionaly this toaster browns evenly [especially compared to my last one] and the timing is constant delivering consistant results. The single slot design is great for me as I often get "wide" bakery type breads that dont fit in the conventional slots well.I recommend this toaster to anyone but especially if you toast wide breads.
