I am writing this review to warn others, because I have to rely on the opinions of others here and was totally disappointed. The Positive anticipate the toaster looks really great, is well made and it still relatively inexpensive. But that was before she got here a device which takes an incredibly long time for toasting and then also achieved dreadful results. The degree of browning is always different and uneven. Supposedly, one should wait between toast operations that the toaster to cool off. Hello There? I wait for 2 minutes to 2 measly slices and then to 3 more minutes let it cool? Excuse me, but each of these toaster is good, has never met a reasonable toaster. 2 stars for the optics and processing, but that's not the most important thing in a toaster.
