I survive on toast.. needed a new toaster so I purchased Hamilton beach, this is the worst toaster I have ever owned, it sucks every bit of moisture from whatever setting it is on whatever I put in it from a bagel to a slice of bread. I feel like I am eating shards or day old toast crumbs I can't wait to get rid of it and get cheap toaster like I had before that doesn't totally dry out what I put in it.
