In my opinion this Avantco model THD1800 is the best value for the coolest toaster. This 120v model does not have the rocker switch to select bagel or toast. Per the instruction manual, the elements get hot on both sides of each slot but only glow orange on one side. I chose this toaster for my residential kitchen because I wanted a toaster that is more likely to be reliable/long lasting than other toasters. Things I really like sbout it: 1. the crumb tray empties from the front. 2. it has "typical toaster length" grounded 5-15P (normal 3 prong plug) power cord. 3. it does well with small bread; there are "baskets" in each slot that push the bread up nice and high. I hope my review is helpful to others. *side note: I have had a small Avantco refrigerator for approximately 2 yrs and it is doing very well. That gave me additional confidence in deciding to purchase this toaster.
