I purchased this toaster because I loved my previous T-Fal toaster. I think it's great it's a little bigger than my previous toaster, but definitely more modern. It toasts quickly and very well, but I have one issue. If I only put in one slice of bread it flys and I mean flys out of the toaster onto the floor. I've positioned it sideways on the the counter and placed a plate in front of it to catch it. The kids think it's so funny. I think it's annoying...I'm looking into getting a replacement. :)
