I needed a reliable toaster that has a larger opening for wide pieces of bread and bagels and this one has that, is simple to use and looks nice.

Perfect toaster
I wanted a toaster with slots long enough to toast sliced artisan bread. The slot length on this toaster is 6 1/2 inch which is perfect.

Great Multifunction Toaster
This toaster is wonderful for the current wide slices of Brad, bagels, English Muffins and Waffles. It toasts evenly and you can lift the bread easily when done.

Decent toaster but inconsistent
This is a basic, no frills two-slice toaster. I had to replace one and money is tight so I couldn’t buy one with more features. It works as advertised. I like the bagel feature that toasts the cut side more than the outside. The “lift” ability works just fine for my daily small English muffin. My biggest issue is with inconsistent toasting; I have been using this for a couple of weeks and still can’t find the optimal setting for anything. One day a “3” leaves my toast pale, on another day it wil...
