Hamilton Seaside 2 Slice Toaster with Further Large Slots, Shade Selector, Auto-Shutoff, Cancel Button and Toast Enhance, Pink

Love This 2-Slice Pop-Up Toaster – Lightweight, Fast, Efficient, Easy Operation, With Uniform Browning on All Sides
For years and years, we had used our toaster oven to toast bread and muffins, and although our toaster oven is sufficient for baking and broiling, it really does not make ‘toast’. Although the bread would warm, it did not brown at all, until suddenly the bread would blacken and burn within seconds. Unfortunately, since the glass window in the toaster oven does not reach the bottom, we were never sure when the bread would start burning until we smelled it. Therefore we had two options, either eat warmed, untoasted bread, or take the chance and with any luck the bread would turn out very dark brown (not quite black), but unfortunately it usually would burn.Since we have enough kitchen appliances crowding our kitchen counter, I wanted a small 2- slice pop-up toaster, and without any extra ‘bells and whistles’.General Description:This Hamilton 2-slice pop-up toaster is perfect. It’s a lightweight compact toaster and it only measures 11” x 6”, with a 7 ¼” height, therefore it takes up very little space. In addition, since this toaster weighs less than 2 lbs. (1 lb. and 14 oz.), it’s not heavy, and I can easily put it away in a cabinet. It has a 30” electrical cord with a 2-prong plug.The color is a high gloss bright cherry red on the front and back, with a chrome finish on the top and sides. The spring loaded toaster slots are 5 ¼” long, x 1 ¼ “wide (to accommodate the thickness), and with a depth to fit and toast a 4” slice of bread, muffin, a sliced bagel or a sliced roll.This pop-up toaster has the cord storage area on the end and the cord remains coiled up securely and out of the way.The other end has the controls, which consists of a lever that is so easy to operate that I can use my pinky finger to push it down. A dial with a range of 1 – 7 controls the browning level, and there are segments between each number for a very precise toasting crunch and color. In addition there is a ‘cancel’ press button, to stop the toasting cycle and pop the slice up to the top.On the bottom is an attached crumb catcher tray that slides to the side for easy emptying and cleaning.Performance:There are 7 main settings for toast color and crunch, with the lightest at the number #1 and the toasting gets progressively darker and crispier as the dial adjustment moves to #7. I prefer the #4 toasting level for a light brown color and a mild crunch. This takes approximately 1 ½ – 2 minutes in the toaster, and the chrome sides remain comfortable to the touch. My toast cooks evenly in both slots and both sides of each slice have the identical crunch and color.We are very pleased with this Hamilton 2-slice pop-up toaster. It’s lightweight, fast and efficient, and it browns both sides of the bread evenly. We use it for bread, sliced bagels, hamburger buns, and English muffins, it is exactly what we needed.

Best Toaster Overall
This is my third purchase of this brand and model toaster. The first two purchased were exactly the same as this red one except black in color and one model lower because it did not have the cancel button featured on the front like the red one does. I decided to purchase this red one on Amazon for $3.00 more than the black style because of the cancel button feature. The black model without the cancel button had to be unplugged to get the toast to pop out if you needed to. For both the black and red toaster, in all the years I have used this brand toaster I have never experienced any toast get stuck inside or fail to pop out. I believe my first purchase was in 2014 so these last a long time.The red toaster settings seem to be more precise than the black toaster making perfect every time. I like my toast crisp and absolutely no burning on the bread as burnt toast makes my stomach sick – this toaster wins my vote for not burning and making perfect toast every time. I use a higher setting for English muffins and toaster waffles and a lower setting for regular toast. I have used room temp, refrigerated, and frozen products in this toaster without any problems. I have not used any sugar-coated type product in the toaster and recommend they are toasted in a toaster oven to keep the sugar frosting on the top. I recommend this product for its ease of use and precise settings for a variety of products and have always had excellent results in my experience – the toasted product comes out just the way I wanted it without a lot of hassle making adjustments.

Le doy poco uso, pero funciona perfecto, tiene un diseño bonito y creo que es buen producto a muy buen precio.

Es un buen producto, las ranuras son de buen tamaño incluso para rebanadas de pan gruesas. Sin mayores sofisticaciones, cumple con su propósito adecuadamente.
