Advantages: small

Disadvantages: gets very hot and not great for big slices

This toaster has served us well at 4 years old and due to its design has fitted well into the small spaces in our last 3 kitchens. It has the button to operate it, knob to control time, keep warm button, stop button and frozen button. The toasting gaps are wide so it is ok to toast uncut bread if you fancy a nice thick slice of toast. It has a lift button too so that you are not poking things in the toaster to get small or broken bits of toast out. It does also come with the bun rack but to be honest I have never used it.
It does have its draw backs. Because it is designed on a slant I find that bread toasts more at the lower end than the other so you have uneven toasting or turn it round mid toast. It also is quite bad at fitting in most slices of shop bought bread e.g varieties made for toast!!! I end up turning it over mid toast or cutting off one crust for it to fit nicely. The last draw back is the metal surround gets hot when toaster has been on so you have to be careful not to touch it.

Summary: buy a loaf of small slices!
