Well after 2 months my opinion is that the toaster is simple and small, suitable for small countertops, ideal if you live in a studio or a small apartment. It fits 2 regular size toast bread, but if you use a slightly larger brand, it might stick out a bit on the edges. In terms of toasting speed, it's satisfactory for me, in less than 5 minutes the bread slices are toasted evenly, as well as the cheese and cold cuts inside. I like them a bit crispy, so I leave them for about 8 minutes, which is fine for me. If someone wants them ready in a minute, then don't look for a toaster in this budget range, you should go for a higher one. Also, its plates are truly non-stick, unlike some old toasters I had, which claimed to be non-stick but after a week you needed a spatula to remove the sandwich. These plates come out and clean with just a rinse of water, as they literally don't stick. And finally, maybe not important for most people, but my wife and I like the touch of red color, it's like a decoration on our small countertop among the other indifferent inox appliances.
