Advantages: Easy to use

Disadvantages: Can toast unevenly

We have now had this toaster for six years and have been extremely happy with it. I specifically bought this model as my parents have one and I thought the design was excellent (there's is still going strong at at least eight years old).

The design is the best I have ever seen on a toaster. It has extra wide slots so you can toast french bread, rolls etc. easily. The lever lift button means you can lift up the toast without having to reach your fingers (or another implement!) into the toaster. The sloping front also makes it easy to see what is happening with your toast. The timer dial is easy to read and use and there are also stop, warm and frozen buttons. It comes with a removable bun warmer but I have never used this (does anybody?!) The crumb tray unclips easily for emptying.

On the down side I find it toasts a bit unevenly when only one slice is being toasted.

Summary: Well designed and reliable
