Here's a toaster that actually looks good on your counter! It has a brushed finish, making it easy to clean and keep clean looking. It has nice wide openings for bagels or other pastry. The settings are very functional. "Cancel" pops your toast or bagel out. I like this, because you don't have to force the handle up. It also has a "bagel" and "defrost" mode, which work well. The toasting level control is accurate and easy to use. Toasting Evenness It's easy and accurate to set the toasting level you prefer. Safety I have experienced no problems regarding safety. Ease of Cleaning The brushed finish eliminates finger prints and scratch marks. The wide openings mean fewer pieces of food get left behind in the toaster. Durability I've only had mine for less than a year, so I can't comment too much on it's durability. It did withstand a move, though, with no problems. Design It's clean and modern looking, and the wide openings make it very functional.

I like the modern look of this toaster, and I also like that the slots are wide enough for bagels, english muffins, etc. I find the defrost button on this toaster fairly useful. I would be happier if there was a side designated for when I'm just toasting one piece of bread. I don't like that I have to turn the bread halfway through in order for it to brown on both sides. Toasting Evenness It is only even if I turn the bread halfway through the toasting cycle. Safety This toaster has a cool touch exterior. It also has auto shutoff. Ease of Cleaning The outside of this toaster is very easy to clean. It is easy to get fingerprints, and smudges off of it. It is advertised as a smudgeproof brushed finish, and I think that is very accurate. Durability I've only had it for five months, but it seems to be holding up well. Design I really like the design of this toaster. It is very modern because of the silver brushed finish, and the buttons also look modern.

Easy to use and toasts great Toasting Evenness Sometimes one side will be a little toastier but that's normal. Safety Lots of metal to touch on accident, but just as safe or safer than the average toaster. Don't do anything silly like put a fork in it while it's plugged in and you're good ;) Ease of Cleaning It's ok to clean. I hate cleaning any toaster though. Emptying the crumb tray just never seems to be enough to clean it. Durability Haven't had any issues Design Looks sleek and is simple to use and the larger things like bagels fit in
