I bought a toaster from Amazon about a year ago.  It's
ok, I just wish I had opted for a bit better one.  Toast
is ok, but the bottom 1/5th of the bread doesn't receive
any browning.  I can live with it, just wish it were a
tad better toaster.  It had spectacular reviews.

It replaced a 25-year-old or there abouts Hamilton Beach
toaster.  Both were/are wide slot models.
