We moved and threw away our old toaster that wasn’t bad. Simply we wanted to carry less and thought it had too many crumbs around to clean haha.So we’ve been without a toaster at new place until this arrived today. It’s the perfect size for our kitchen. We didn’t want something too bulky. We used it right away out of the box. Didn’t read any instructions. I put it on setting 6 for bread. The bread came out fine. It was slightly less brown than what the picture showed but no problem! It’s keto bread so maybe that’s why it didn’t brown as much? Not sure but glad we picked this toaster. I love the countdown timer and the lighting.The only thing I would change about this toaster is the mark on the knob. I would make the mark (or indicator) on the knob more transparent so the user can see which setting it’s on or where to turn it to.
