EFFORTLESSLY TOAST THICKER BREADS: Wider than the slots on many 4 slice toasters, the toast slots on this Hamilton Beach toaster are extra wide to easily fit thicker breads like Texas toast and bagels. EASILY RETRIEVE SMALLER-SIZED BREADS: The Toast Boost feature on the 4 slice toaster lifts smaller breads like English muffins so they're easier to retrieve after toasting. KEEP COUNTERTOPS CLEANER: Conveniently remove and discard crumbs from the bottom of the bread toaster with the pullout crumb tray, so they don't end up on your countertop. CUSTOMIZE YOUR TOAST SHADE: Use the shade selector to make lighter or darker toast. Choose from 7 toast shades. Simply press the cancel button to stop the toast cycle and get your toast. No need to wait! NEATLY STORES AWAY: The built-in cord wrap in the base of the toaster makes it easy to neatly store the toaster when it's not being used. AUTO SHUTOFF FOR PEACE OF MIND: The toaster automatically shuts off at the end of the cycle if toast gets jammed.
