Comment:
Used for breakfast toast and bagel toasting. Nothing great about it. Except for small loaves of bread, 20% of the bread protrudes above the toasting element. Within 2 months, toasts only on 1 side; we turn the toast around to toast the other side and the second side burns unless we press the eject button early. A waste of good money.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I have owned two of these. The first one broke and I ordered another, only because I liked the slim size to fit in my kitchen. Thought the first lemon of a toaster was a fluke, bought another, laster longer, but was a terrible product!

More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
