Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Right out of the box I knew I was in trouble- toaster is lightweight, which is not a good thing for an appliance. Also, the toaster is not nearly as stylish as I expected- esp. for a brushed stainless steel model. The ends seem to be made of plastic?? but the worst thing is: you cannot read the knobs! The black writing on the shiny chrome is impossible to read in my kitchen. Most toasters put the writing on the toaster itself-so you can set the dial to the desired setting. Not so with this one, and the knobs are cheap looking- also I didn't realize that there was no time setting, only a setting for dark-light toast. How do you time a pizza???? My old one had a 20 minute timer that automatically went off when you were done.(this is entirely my fault for not checking- just threw that in in case somebody wanted to know) I hate to post a bad review- esp. since this is my first one. I do a lot of research before I buy online, and I always read other reviews first. I have to say I'm really disappointed in this toaster- I was looking forward to a toaster oven with "cool touch" sides as it is hard to find. I'll keep looking. Don't bother with this model!
