KitchenAid 2-Slice, Two-Slot Toaster Review

KitchenAid 2-Slice, Two-Slot  Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the only toaster on the market that has a differential heating button (hotter on the inside heaters, lesser on the outside heaters) to be used only for bagels. The cut side of the bagel (inside) will toast nicely, whereas the uncut side (outside) will only warm. The bagel comes out perfect, not rock hard which is often the case when it's been toasted on both sides.
My only disappointment with this toaster is how it toasts regular white bread/English Muffins. Since the bread is thin, it is held too far away from the heating elements, and it usually takes two attempts to get the bread actually toasted to anything more than just a light brown. If you want your toast darker, you'll have to adjust your setting, and then toast again.
If you are looking for a superb toaster for your bagels, this is the one for you. But if you don't eat toasted bagels that often, you would be better off with a more traditional toaster, without the extra wide slats.

Listen up all you bagel-lovers! This is the toaster you've previously seen only in your dreams. Imagine, a bagel whose crust side is gently warmed, but not toasted, yet whose cut side emerges gently browned. Nirvana! If you're not a devotE of the bagel, don't worry, this toaster has plenty of handy features for bread and breakfast pastry fanciers too.

Oster 6330 Inspire 4-Slice Toaster, Brushed Stainless Steel Review

I bought this toaster about 6 months ago from Amazon without reading the reviews. Shortly before it got here I noticed the review section and read all the horrible reviews for this toaster and became really concerned that the toaster wouldn't work properly. It came about six months ago, I've used it pretty much every day since then and it works just fine. No weird, uneven toast. No sticky handle. None of the scary stuff in the other reviews. Its pretty, and it works. Its a toaster.

With its durable brushed chrome and painted silver exterior, this long two-slot toaster accommodates up to four slices of bread. Extra-wide slots make room for thick bagels or artisan-style breads, while dual automatic centering guides ensure bread is perfectly aligned for even browning on both sides. The toaster also features a bagel setting to adjust time for thickness, a frozen-to-toast function, seven adjustable toast-shade settings, a keep-warm option, and a cancel button to stop the toasting cycle at any time. Other highlights include blue LED display lights, a high-lift lever for safe removal of smaller items, and a removable crumb tray, which makes cleanup a breeze. The Art of Food recipe book comes included to inspire new ideas. The toaster measures 15-3/4 by 6-1/2 by 7-3/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Breville Ikon Toaster CT7 Review

Breville Ikon Toaster CT7
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I hate toasters, that is to say, I hate toasters that don't... toast. In the past, I have returned new toasters along with toasted samples that show how poorly the product functioned. It has been a curiousity of mine that we can put men on the moon, explore the ocean depths, even perform complex organ transplants; yet man can not create an appliance that will consistently and evenly toast a piece of bread.
Our previous toaster lived a long, albeit, mediocre life. We would have liked to have replaced it with a similar model since our expectations (low) were already molded by the last one, but it had be discontinued which left us on the quest to find another brand. Arghhh!
The search ended with the Breville CT75XL 4 slice toaster. We've had the toaster for about 30 days and have toasted a variety of breads, bagels,and frozen waffles; all to our complete amazement and satisfaction.
The unit's footprint is a bit large but acceptable, yet then most 4 slice toasters tend to be on the behemoth side these days. I'm not sure why the darkness control goes to all the up to 10 as we have found that setting it to 4 seems to be plenty dark enough. The digital display has an integrated timer with segments that blink as the toasting time counts down. When the toast is ready, the toaster will beep just prior to popping up the product.
Now, I'm not a professional product reviewer so I won't go into the nitty-gritty details as to the features. You can read all about them from the manufacturer's website. I just wanted to let those that are interested, that, for one who hates toasters, the Breville has been a pleasant find.

Housed in premium brushed stainless steel, this sleek-looking four-slice toaster provides extra-wide and deep toasting slots that easily accommodate thicker breads, bagels, or frozen waffles. The slots are self-centering for even toasting, while the high-lift lever makes it simple to remove smaller items. The unit also offers a "lift-and-look" feature that allows for lifting the toast lever any time throughout the toasting progress to monitor toasting without interrupting the cooking cycle. The toaster's LCD display indicates the toasting progress, and its control panel includes an electronic browning control dial and three special setting options--bagel, defrost, and reheat--plus a cancel button to end the cycle at any time. A "toast ready" sound alerts when the toasted item is ready to enjoy. Other highlights include a removable crumb tray for quick crumb disposal and handy cord storage in the base to help keep countertops tidy. The 1500-watt toaster measures 14 by 5-1/2 by 8 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

T-Fal 4-Slice Digital Toaster, black Review

T-Fal 4-Slice Digital Toaster, black

Just arrived - I'm only posting because there's so little info on this toaster. As of today Amazon still has no image so I uploaded one direct from t-Fal's website. That's my good deed for the day.
This toaster has two long slots. It can easily fit 4 slices of bread and it may fit better in your kitchen than one of the huge 4-separate-slot toasters. Toasts nice and evenly so far (only had it a day so I'll update later). Seems average in toasting speed (why is everyone so obsessed with this?)
It's got a digital countdown timer which is very nice (when's my toast gonna be ready???!!!) Only a few simple controls and functions which is all you need. This could be my favorite toaster ever if it keeps doing it's basic job well.
Still working after 6 months. It doesn't toast quite as evenly as I thought before but it's ok. LOVE the bagel function. To the commenter: yes it beeps when it's done -- but it's not too loud.
***If you haven't used a product for at least a week, DON'T REVIEW IT!***
