This toaster proved to be utility item in our kitchen to toast and keep warm the food. As ours is a small family we needed 2-slice toaster and we bought this with toaster and audible bell, also it is easy to clean as detachable crumb tray is attached to it. Specially the 15-minute timer helps me a lot. The drawback seemed to be the model which has its control unit outside the toaster and it looks out of shape.
