Title: Slow, clumsy controls and it fell apart.
Product review: Had this for probably 4 years, so longevity may be a bit much to expect for this price range.However there are some other problems.It takes up a lot of space, both on the counter top and in the cupboard.Maintaining that big expanse of mirror chrome is a pain, just one fingerprint makes it look dirty.The power cord is placed so that, in order not to have it under the hot toaster, the toaster is positioned so that the control buttons are always on the far end.The control buttons are partially blocked by the push down handle.This thing is slower than a wet week. It seems like it takes hours to to lightly brown (setting 2) just 2 pieces of toast. Some of the heating element wires have fallen off ours now, but I'm pleased.Now I can go buy something decent.
