Where Did all the Good Toasters Go?
Well, first of all, this toaster, like all the others I guess, was made in China. Second, quality control seems to be a problem. Mine works OK but takes several minutes to toast sourdough bread to a light brown. On one side. The heating elements are only on the outsides of the slots. Cheap! And don't think you can put a piece of rye or other oblong bread in there. You have to cut it or toast one area at a time. Will somebody please make a toaster again that regular, normal bread fits into? Or is there a toaster oven somewhere that isn't complete garbage? My search continues. Argggghhhh!

Lever Will Not Stay Down
I must have gotten a different toaster than the other reviewers. The lever will not stay down (and it has nothing to do with the feature of not staying down unless it's plugged in). The toaster is plugged in. It's going back. Very disappointed with this purchase, which is too bad since I like everything else -- the design, the lever location, the size. If a toaster won't toast, though -- it's a problem. I do not recommend at all.

Pretty good for the price
This toaster has worked out pretty well. Seems to be sturdy enough, handles thick bread slices well, and has the all-important "cancel" feature lacking in many cheaper toasters. Toasting isn't perfectly even between sides or from top to bottom, but it's good enough to make for pleasant toast. Time required to toast is neither the fastest nor the slowest I've experienced. In terms of design, I wish all controls were on the end instead of having the lever on the side, but that's a minor quibble. In the end, it seems to be a decent, well-built toaster at a fair price.
