This is a very good toaster that has been able to handle all sizes of bread slice plus my pop tarts, frozen waffles and more. I also toast my bagels real easy in it. The settings are easy to use and give just the right amount of browning that you expect the setting level to achieve. I really love the timer counter that most slice toasters don't have, this prepares me to expect my toasted food at what time. This makes a difference for me when I am trying to multitask breakfast at my house. We have lots of mouths to feed here
