Rival TT9468G 4-Slice Toast-Excel Toaster Review

I bought this toaster and found out that regular slices of bread do not fit in the slots. I have to cut off 1/2" off the side of the bread for it to fit. I am talking about breads like orowheat and pepperidge farm. Bad bad toaster..

Oster TSSTTR4SLL Black 4-Slice Long Slot Toaster Review

Oster TSSTTR4SLL Black 4-Slice Long Slot Toaster

(More customer reviews)
Had a serious wake up call this morning. At 6:30am, was awakened by smoke detectors going off. Followed the heavy smoke to the kitchen where our toaster was in full flames, most of the plastic was burning, the cabinets were very hot and dense electrical smell. Was able to unplug the toaster, cord falling apart in my hand, and put the fire out. Counter was ruined, as well as part of the cabinet. No one was around or up at that time. From what I can determine, the toaster just caught flames due to an electrical short in the controls. I am glas I did not go anywhere for the holiday weekend, or I would have come home to a burned out apt. I do not recommend this toaster unless you wish to set fire to the place.

Haier TST120SS Stainless-Steel Long-Slot 2-Slice Digital Toaster Review

We bought this to replace a Rowenta toaster that was also long and narrow, but never worked well. Our choices were limited as it needed to fit in a narrow space behind our cooktop.
This looks lovely in the kitchen and toasts evenly. The variety of settings works well for various breads, although it will take some practice with different bread types to see which setting is best for each. The default setting is fine for standard bread. Crank it up for bagels or rye bread.
In response to another review, the toaster doesn't wait 10 seconds before starting to toast. It gives you 10 seconds to change the setting after putting the bread in, but it begins to heat right away.
We are very satisfied with this toaster compared to the four times more expensive Rowenta that was horrible!

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!***

T-Fal Avante Deluxe 2-Slice Toaster, Black Review

T-Fal Avante Deluxe 2-Slice Toaster, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recommend NOT purchasing this toaster for several reasons. First, and most importantly, it did not toast BOTH sides of the bread. A slice of bread that is not square will not fit into the toaster. And last of all, a strange design problem keeps the bread from going completely down into the toaster. It has a wire cage that "grips" the bread and pulls it down. The gripping action doesn't allow the bread to fall completely into the toaster so only the bottow 2/3's of the bread toasted. Also, the unit is large and bulky, it takes up way too much space on the counter for just a 2 slice toaster. The only thing "deluxe" about it, was the price. Way too much money for such a lousy toaster. I sent it back.

Attractively designed with a brushed stainless-steel front, this 1200-watt two-slice toaster features an angled design for effortless viewing of the toasting process and safe removal of toast. The unit's high-speed heating mechanism toasts bread 40-percent faster than conventional toasters, and its extra-wide slots accommodate bagels, English muffins, even thick slices of homemade bread. The unit also provides self-adjusting guides to ensure even toasting, seven customized toasting levels for browning to perfection, and a high-lift lever, which makes it easier to remove smaller toasted items. In addition, its bagel-toasting technology toasts the inside and gently warms the outside--the way a bagel should be toasted. Other highlights include a one-touch reheat function for warming previously toasted breads, a cancel button that stops the toasting process at any time, a cool-touch exterior, and a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning. The toaster measures 9 by 13 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Ok, it makes really fine toast. And it's quick.
Its also nice looking ... esp. if you have stainless appliances or some stainless handles in your kitchen already. The slanted design really makes this toaster an original. The slanted design seems to make putting toast in and taking it out easier, esp. for kids. Even the buttons are stylish ... and I like how the outer toasting levers align with the inner levers. There are controls on either side and both sides can easily handle a bagel with ease.
There is a good feature to note. The middle push levers ... one for each side. These inner levers are stylish, but have a meaningful purpose, which is to push the toast UP and OUT of the toaster (if needed, if you want to, you don't need to) ... I've never seen a toaster that could do that before! That really is a nice safety / convienience feature ... esp. with smaller bread ... it pushes it up for enough that you don't reach into the toaster at all to retrieve the toast.
It's a big boy ... fairly wide for a toaster ... but worth it because of the quality and speed of the toasting ... and style/originality of the unit.
If I were to try and be more critical, I would say the size could be an issue for those with small kitchens or limited countertop space ... and the slanted design of the unit can on rare occasion launch some lighter toast out of the unit.
But overall, I must give this 5 stars because it does toast and bagels extremely well (no burns yet) and its stylish and original. I would warn that it toasts on a very low setting, so start out with 2 or 3 ... because its fast and powerful ... a higher setting could burn, I would think.

Black & Decker T4569B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Black and Decker T4569B 4-Slice Toaster, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love bagels and primarily use a toaster for that one purpose (with some toast thrown in from time to time). This toaster is exactly what I needed as it actually caters to bagels without substituting quality in other applications. Functionally it's pretty flawless. I can get my bagels toasted evenly and at the correct brownness with little effort. It's a nice looking modern toaster, and while it might not have every whiz-bang feature that more expensive models offer, it does what it does humbly and with excellence.
The toaster slot size is 5.375 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.
PROS:
1) Dual trays for bagels or toast with self-adjusting guides for thinner items like sliced bread
2) Cancel button that makes it easy to eject something mid-way through. This is especially handy as you're getting to know the toaster and how to get your desired level of toasting.
3) A bagel button for toasting just the inside of the bagel. There are even markings on the toaster to show you how to insert the bagel.
4) A frozen item button for getting your hot-pockets perfectly cooked.
5) Simple, but pleasing design.
6) Very nice unit for the price.
Cons:
1) Not as many features as some other models.
Summary:
This is a very nice toaster for the price range. It does a few things really well. It might not have everything you could possibly want in a toaster, but for getting a bagel perfectly cooked it's great.

With its sleek, modern design, this four-slice toaster not only looks great in any contemporary kitchen, but it also features extra-wide, self-adjusting slots that can accommodate various items, including bagels, buns, English muffins, and thick slices of homemade bread. Its user-friendly push-button controls include a bagel function for warming the outside and toasting the cut side; a frozen setting for toasting items like frozen waffles, toaster pastries, or toaster hash browns to perfection; and a cancel option to end the session at any time. Choose from six electronic browning-control settings from light to dark by turning the knob. For added convenience, dual control panels make it possible to use only one side or the other, or to toast two separate orders simultaneously--great when trying to get the family out the door in the morning. Other highlights include cool-touch housing, cord-wrap storage, and a removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. The 1400-watt toaster measures approximately 11-1/2 by 10 by 8-3/5 inches.

Toastmaster TBR15 1-1/2-Pound Breadmaker Review

Toastmaster TBR15 1-1/2-Pound Breadmaker
Average Reviews:

After using a friend's Oster/Sunbeam breadmaker for a couple of months, I got hooked on the idea of making my own bread. Since I didn't need a full-size 2lb. model, I decided to try this 1.5lb unit. What appealed to me at first was the compact footprint and the oversized viewing window.
The burn-off issue described here and elsewhere on the web is pretty accurate. My package included a correction sheet for the manual that clarifies that the pan should be in the machine when you run it dry the first time. This may explain why some people reported that the dome window was melting. Anyhow, I ran the machine outside with a bit of water in the pan and that worked out fine.
After that, it was time to try my first white bread. The machine is pretty noisy compared to the Sunbeam model I'd first used. Unless your bedroom is far enough from the kitchen, you will hear this sucker if you decide to use the delay timer for morning fresh bread.
The first loaf I made was a failure since Fleischmann's active dry yeast (unlike others) is not suitable for bread machines. The granules are different sizes and do not dissolve fast enough. So I bought instant yeast which has very small granules which should have done the trick...but it looks like it was old! I had to use double the amount to get the bread to rise to a decent height. Anyhow, now I buy yeast in large vacuum packs. It is very reliable, last forever and is labeled "instant" or "quick" yeast.
So far, I've made over a dozen breads, mostly whole grain or variations of "healthy" breads. For a small family or couples, this unit is a great value. I've used stone-milled and unbleached wheat with success, although I never add the egg that almost every recipe in the book uses. Pizza dough recipe was good, but I cut down the sugar and yeast to get a thinner crust. If you like it doughy, follow the recipe as stated.
The only caveat is the crust colour control...never set it higher than LIGHT. On my machine at least, the MEDIUM setting caused the sides to almost burn...and I've never tried the DARK setting because of this.
