Compact 2-Slice White Wide Slot Toaster with Crumb Tray

after having this toaster, I have come to realize that it needs a cleaning about once a month. Not just emptying the bottom tray, but inside where the wires are. I used a soft toothbrush and a can of compressed air. That really helped a lot. Now it seems that the toast comes out almost perfectly toasted all around. I do like the controls for different food stuff to be able to get roasted or just unfrozen. I am one that likes to have a heat control button or slider to have clicks for setting the heat. This one does not. So, I have marked the settings for each piece of bread or waffle or bagel with a sharpie marker. The cord can be shortened by flipping to the bottom and looking at the area where there are some half hooks in the frame. I have not figured out what that hook is for that is off to the side. I would like to think it has to do with the plug, but nothing I have tired will work in that regard. The one thing about the toast or whatever you put in it, the mechanism that controls the spring release to bring it back up, seems short or shortened over time. It just doesn't raise the toast high enough to pick it out, without using the push down lever to raise it up enough to be able to use your fingers. At least with my bread. I have used a bagel and waffle in it, and the bagel has stuck, because the hole or slots are not wide enough. So, for me it does okay now that I have started to take better care of it.

Poor toasting, could not get a decent piece of toast at any setting.

This is the best toaster we’ve ever owned, I love the deep baskets wide slots. Very easy to get any item that your toasting out of bed with ease.

Decent toaster that does the trick. I needed something smaller to take up less counter space, so this waw good.

So far works great, size is perfect for my small kitchen. I usually eat bread that comes frozen so I use the defrost function quite often.

This is the perfect toaster for my small kitchen. It amply fits bagels or English muffins and is quite stylish. I chose white to match my appliances.

This toasts fast, is great for bagels and looks good on the counter.

Basic toaster, does what it’s supposed to do and does it well. Big enough to handle a good-sized sliced bagel. Doesn’t take up much space and easy to clean.

Can’t be happier I love my toaster especially the settings

1. Bagel setting is useless. It extends time and does not shut off one side. 2. Heater grids, while evenly spaced, don't toast evenly. A number of wire sections look like they were manually lifted away from the surface. These get hotter. 3. Even if toasting the same bread everyday you have to watch to prevent burnt toast. 4. The extra lift spring tension is too much and is able to lift the toaster off the counter before the bread gets lifted to the top. 5. I would give it five stars just for looks and design.
