I saw the negative reviews for this toaster and thought I'd write a quick one just to say that, although I didn't order it from Amazon (it was a gift) I haven't found any problem with it at all. It's lovely and big so 4 slices is no problem (standard sliced bread, if it's a whole loaf you're slicing yourself I found they are odd shaped and just did 2 at once) and I have found it toasts evenly every time.
If I'm using those toasting bag things for sandwiches it does toast more on one side, but that's only because the bag is so big it's practically touching the sides, easily solved by lowering the toast time and turning it around and toasting again. And really, if you're toasting a sandwich in there you would do this anyway to make sure the filling is nice and melted inside.
Other than that it looks super sleek, and the 5 blue lights that count down which are invisible until actually toasting are just plain cool. Very cylon chic, hence its nickname 'space toaster'.
