I was looking at toaster reviews and it seems that many have issues. I had
one that I loved. It had something called a "bread brain". The toast was
always perfect. And while it still worked, it had reached a state of
looking really decrepit. I replaced it with a Hello Kitty toaster that
while cute, wasn't so great. If you used the cheap white bread, it would
toast Hello Kitty's face into your bread. The end result was slightly dried
out bread with only a little toasty bit.

My current toaster has 4 wide slots but I find that if I put in two pieces
of bread, each will get toasted a different amount and each side different.
And many times I have to put the bread back down for part of a cycle to get
it the way I want it. The plus side is that it has never burned anything.
