Advantages: Not many

Disadvantages: Everything else

I am so pleased that we only paid half price for this toaster! Our experience has NOT been a good one. Firstly, it has started going rusty on the stainless steel parts of the toaster and this begun after only 6 months. I have followed all the cleaning instructions carefully! Secondly the right hand side of the toaster browns at a completely different rate to the right hand side of the toaster, despite being on the same setting! The elements within the toaster do not seem to 100% heat up! Also the two levers that help you lift out the toast do not push up far enough to be of any use! On the plus side, it has two drawers to remove the crumbs at the base of the toaster and these are easy to remove and clean. Also, it hasnt yet blown up after 18 months! That really is about it.... not recommended

Summary: Glad that I bought this half price!
