5.0 out of 5 stars An elegantly designed LONG & WIDE toaster, May 31, 2005

This review is from: Braun HT500 MultiToast 2-Slice Toaster, White (Kitchen)

The Braun HT500 is one of the best designed toasters I have ever used. What I really like....

1. A single long & wide slot, allowing you to toast large or unusually shaped pieces of bread. I have used it to toast very thick pieces of bread, long hoagee rolls, and those huge hamberger buns that won't fit in a standard toaster slot.

2. Very clean, modern appearance. Looks great sitting on the kitchen counter, whereas many of the other toaster models today look like ugly chrome spaceships from the 1950's. Personally, I'm not into that kind of retro look.

3. An led light that is clearly visible when the toaster is "on", allowing you to quickly see the status of your toast from the other side of the room.

4. When the toast is done, it pops-up only part way. This helps keep your toast warm prior to you extracting it. You then pull the lever up a notch higher and it raises the toast up very high, making it easy to pull-out even very small pieces of bread.

5. It toasts evenly. Of course, you would expect this. But you'd be surprised how some very expensive toasters I've used in the past were often poor in this area.

Of all those items, the first one is by far the most important. Strangely however, few manufacturers today make a long & wide toaster any longer. Braun is one of the few that does. That fact combined with the great design is reason for me to give it a hearty recommendation!

This review is from: Braun HT500-B MultiToast 2-Slice Toaster, Black (Kitchen)

I have owned a lot of crappy toasters and actually haven't gotten another for the past 6 years. I've resorted to pan toasting in order to avoid another bad purchase. Finally got tired of so much effort for toast and broke down and got this toaster. It's so easy to use and it even defrosts frozen bread and can warm up an already toasted slice without retoasting. Worked amazingly well to heat a cold slice of pizza but I'm sure Braun is cringing if they read this! I love the little pull out tray, you don't have to pick up the whole darn thing and hold it over the sink and beat it to death! The toast comes out very even and perfectly toasted every time. Slots are wide too so a bagel is no problem. It is fast too, so you won't miss it not being a 4 slice toaster. I think you will be pleased with this great toaster, I am!

5.0 out of 5 stars a toast to a toaster that toasts!, August 31, 2005

After several months, I can say with satisfaction that the Braun Multi-Toast is nothing short of magnificent. A toaster that really toasts - the control lets one range from crunchy to lightly done. A toaster that can elevate the toast a step higher when its done. A toaster that can easily accomodate the long slices from my artisan sourdough loaves (without leaving bread sticking out the top). A toaster that reheats toast. A toaster that defrosts frozen slices, and then toasts them. A toaster that does a respectable job toasting bagels. A toaster that is cool to the touch on the sides. And on top of that, a toaster that looks pretty fine. Ode to a toaster - Braun has intelligently designed and made a great one.
