Fun toaster
Such a fun appliance. All the cute lights and easy directions and precise browning of every bread possible. Would probably make a fun gift, but I bought it for myself.

Its a good toaster, but zero control over the end result
So I like the toaster and I’m going to be keeping it, but some things I don’t like that might help others follows:It’s not a true touchscreen. You don’t touch the toast icon if you want toast or the waffle icon if you want a waffle. Instead, you touch the cycle button that cycles through all the options and toasting levels.There are no fine controls. Whatever darkness setting you select that is what you get and for my household, none of the settings are what we like. Take the toast setting for example. The lightest setting is not really toast at all – more like crisp bread. The next setting up which is the one we use gets the toast really dark. I usually end up babysitting it and canceling the timer with 10 seconds left. I can’t even imagine how dark the other options are.Other than that it’s a cool-looking toaster that does what it should do, but I can’t help but wonder how hard it would have been or expensive for the mfg to address the two points above. Missed opportunity maybe.

1 of the best toasters I’ve owned
This is one of the best toasters I have ever owned. It seems solidly built and does a great job of toasting bread and English muffins on regular, bagels on the bagel setting, and frozen waffles on the defrost setting. The selector knob works well and I prefer the way it clicks in on your setting rather than the slides I’ve had on other toasters.For those wondering about the defrost function, it does make a difference with frozen foods. The way it works is that it extends the cooking time so it’s about halfway between settings. In other words, if you put the setting on 3 and press the defrost button, you get more time than normal on 3, but less time than you would get on 4. I thought it might be a gimmick, but it works.I also appreciate the toast lifter, the cancel button, and the stainless steel look of the unit. All in all, a good buy for the price.

Good toaster for the price
I’ve been using this toaster for about 3 months now and I’m completely satisfied with it. It heats fast, toasts evenly, and cools down rather quickly after use. The exterior is all metal, so there is no plastic to melt as in other toasters in its price range. The cord is of a sufficient length to reach an outlet and not have a hot side right up against a wall. The crumb tray is rather shallow, but it seldom has much in it, though we check it after every use, and it is completely removable if you need to wipe anything (unplug first). Especially helpful is the extra room at the top of the slot where the button you push down to toast is. That’s great if you have a bread with small slices that doesn’t extend above the toasting chamber when done and popped up—just push up the button a bit and you can get a grip on the top edge of the toast. The corners are all rounded so there are no seams to catch your fingers if you need to move it or wipe it down (always unplug first). I really like the knob adjustment, I find the #3 setting works well for me. I have not used the CANCEL, BAGEL, or DEFROST settings yet, but am glad to have them. Some thought went into this toaster and to me it was worth the price I paid. Far better than any toasters I have purchased locally.

Looks great, good size, not too big. You have to hold the far end slightly to press the toast lever down but this is common and not a problem.
