Hi, we got this toaster as a wedding present. What. A. Mistake. (The toaster, not the wedding).The thing has the worst temperature control ever. You put a piece of room temperature bread in the machine and put it on a light-to-medium setting and it'll come out burned to a crisp all around the edges.If you set it lower, the bread is still soft and barely warm. I shudder to think what lies on the other side of dial, it could start a fire for all I know.Don't. Buy. This. Toaster.
