Works great for bagels!
I purchased this toaster because I like toasting bagels, and had trouble getting them out of the traditional toaster designed to toast bread. This toaster is designed for a bagel lover. It has functions that toast on one side, and handle frozen bagels as well as frozen toast (works best on thick slices). I am pleased with the toasting function. If you like long sliced artisan breads, however, they are likely to poke out of the slots of this toaster and the entire slice will not be toasted.
One nice feature is that the crumb tray which used to slide out from the back in my older model has been moved to the front, so it is now easier to remove the crumbs.
The outside stays cool to touch, so you don't get burned if you touch it.
The toaster looks very nice and its size is 12.5" x 7.9" x 9.3". The power cord is about 1.5 feet.

Not So Great For English Muffins.
I bought this toaster after reading the one single 5 star review, but this item doesn't perform as well as I had expected.
The title of this review says it all. This toaster is not so great with English Muffins. I have tried all settings, from light to dark toast and also the bagel option. English muffins come terribly under toasted every single time, so I'm forced to put them in twice to get a nice even brown. If not, they come out barely toasted and just in some spots, mostly the edges, but the middle is as white as they are before putting them in. The instructions say that using the "bagel" option is a good idea for english muffins, of course, I tried it, but this gave me the same results, under toasted muffins.
For regular bread, the toaster is good. I didn't tried it with any artisan type of bread, so I can't say much about that.
The toaster's housing is made of plastic, which helps to keep it not cool, but safely warm during and after operation,...
Toasts quickly!!
I bought a T-fal Classic Avante 4-Slice Toaster in March of 2009, in late 2011 the right side crapped out and doesn't work. I bought this Hamilton Beach because it takes less space and was inexpensive. Love the Hamilton beach so far. It toasts REALLY fast and takes little space. Definintely recommend.
