I love this T-Fal 2 - slice toaster, as a matter of fact, I just told my daughter to buy one this morning, because it will toast anything. The wide slots will fit fat, thin, small, big or odd shapes and they toast perfect !! The lever to lift up the bread is such a great idea. You can turn the dial to toast to your desire. I have had my T - Fal Toaster for seven years and it still works perfect and I have toast just about every morning. It is well worth the price.
This T-Fal 2-slice, extra wide will toast bagels, as well as breads, to perfection! I especially love the lever that raises the finished toast or bagel so I don't have to "dig into" the toaster to retrieve my toast. I like my bread toasted any time of the day, not just at breakfast, so I really use my toaster. After going through MANY toasters in the past, I'm delighted to at last be HAPPY with my T-Fal stainless steel 2-slice toaster. You would be, too!
The T-Fal-2 slice toaster is engineered very nice. It has features which had a lot of thought. The release button used for stopping the toasting is great. I also like the way the mechanism comes around the bread as it is toasted. Making it stay in place. Ours is the black not the stainless steel a very good looking item. Also, with the toaster pointed at you instead of the customary side-by-side makes a lot more sense. The price was very competitive also.
