" ... I ordered this toaster for our apartment. ... "
" ... The perfect kitchen tool. ... "
" ... I'd appreciate it if high schools would stop teaching kids what cars are. ... "
" ... It’s super simple to use, as all toasters should be, which delights my kids (we so far always toasted under the broiler, so they’re super excited about making their own toast, poor toaster deprived kids). ... "
" ... I like the feature of the toast or other product popping up higher than is usual with most toasters--again, if one has kids, one doesn't want them sticking a fork or other conductive utensil down into the slots to dig out the toast.) ... "
" ... A perfect size for smaller spaces. ... "
