Amazon Basics 2 Slice Toaster, With 6 Browning Settings, Extra Wide Slots For Bagels and Special Breads, Removable Easy-to-Clean Crumb Tray, Cancel/Defrost/Bagel Buttons, 900W, Black & Silver

In the past I have purchased several major brand name toasters. All failed miserably. Either they toasted everything unevenly, or burnt even when I adjusted toast setting or just quit working. This toaster is working out great. I wanted a basic toaster without all those "extra" settings (for bagels, frozen, etc.) which I paid $$ for. I highly recommend this toaster. The price is right $ and thicker breads + bagels fit in it.

So far I like how it works. All of us use it in the home and even my youngest likes the way it works. I would recommend it if you are looking for a simple toaster that works great.

Pros: Matte body, not shiny like other appliances that show every fingerprint. Doesn't take up much counter space. Nice crumb tray that's easy to empty. Bagel mode works well. I haven't yet tried the frozen one.Cons: Wish the cord came out the back instead of the side. Doesn't toast evenly. You have to flip the bread around to toast the other side more because the middle heat element seems to work better than the two on the sides. I noticed it toasts better if (once it's heated), you do a second batch.Summary: All in all, a nice looking basic toaster that may cost you a little time to 'get just right.' Good price.

I love the toaster and it does a great job helping me enjoying a good breakfast. A few highlights on the toaster:1. The four slice design is perfect for me to make quick breakfast for a family of four2. It has seven browning settings which helps us accommodate different preferences3. The illuminated buttons and modern design is a great compliment to the kitchen countertop

For "too long" I used my countertop oven for toast, but it was always so slow and so unpredictable. I finally decided to get a traditional toaster and I am glad I did. This little toaster is a work horse and gives me perfect results every time with very little wait and it was very reasonably priced.

Pros: its cheap, it's small (I dont have a lot of counter space so this is a pro to me), bagel setting is a nice feature, and the slots fit most bread slices in terms of thickness and length.Cons: The smell is awful, like burning chemicals, not super strong but bad enough I always check to make sure the stove isn't leaking gas. The toasting is uneven (passable, just annoying). Also, when I press the lever to toast my bread, I have to push my bread down manually with my fingers to get it all the way down as the lever leaves the bread sticking out an inch or two.Overall it's not an awful toaster, its decent for the price, but I feel like if I had spent $5-$10 more on a different toaster, I wouldn't have as many issues. Basically, so long as it doesn't die, it works for my current situation but I won't have it for much longer after that.

Only had to run it through two cycles and the smell burned off quickly. Panels center the toast between burners, and slots are long enough for wide pan bread to be placed top up. Cancel and Bagel features work great.

Very sleek looking. Toasts evenly, though a little darker than it would seem. I just keep it set to a lower level. Quality and packaging is good!
