great while it worked
This toaster worked very well for a while. It toasted evenly, had enough room for large bagels, and I had no complaints. I'm not sure how long I've had it, though I think it's around a year. Recently, something went wrong and it's stuck on the bagel function. So, it works just fine - but only on one side of the bread. To do regular toast, I have to flip the bread and re-toast on the other side. I suppose if it were more expensive, I'd be looking harder for how to repair it, but I think I'll just deal with it for a while until I find a replacement.
BTW, the toaster we had before it was the slanted T-Fal. Again, great while it lasted, but it didn't last long. It seems like small appliances are just made to break after a year or so - or we just have bad toaster karma.
Simple, functional, well priced
I recently bought a house and realized that I am in desperate need of kitchen appliances. This is one of the first appliances I purchased and I must admit that I am very pleased with it. Seeing that it is only me in the house having a two slice toaster as opposed to a four slice toaster is not an inconvenience. The only reason I did not give the toaster a 5/5 is because 1) I reserve that rating for the items that truly "wow" me and 2) I have not owned it/used it enough to fairly rate it as exceptional. What I can say is:
Pros: Looks clean and sharp in the kitchen with the stainless steel finish. Toasts evenly and offers a great range between warming and "crispy". Holds bagels (huge perk in my book).
Cons: None so far
Other Notes: The package arrived quickly and was handled very well. The box did not have any noticeable scuffs, breaks, or dented corners. Not that it would have mattered because I could have dropped the box off my roof without concern...
HOT toaster
This toaster looks nice but it gets VERY HOT. I returned it. There is no way you could touch any part of this toaster without getting burnt... Perhaps it was a defect but I ordered a cuisine art toaster that looks similar but does not get hot at all.
