If you don't get the bread exactly in the center it is only toasted on part of the slice. The bottom 10% of the slice is not toasted. I think a $12 toaster from the drugstore would have done as well.

Built much better than any toaster available in big box stores.

good looking prduct. However, the bagel button does not work unless you have to push on the defrost button first???

All the things you need in a toaster. None of the extra fancy features you don't need.
