Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Attractively housed in brushed stainless steel, this digital toaster not only adds sophisticated style to any kitchen counter, but it also provides useful everyday convenience. The unit's two long slots easily accommodate longer slices of bread or up to four standard slices of bread at a time; the slots also offer an extra-wide size, which allows for thick slices of homemade bread, bagels, English muffins, and more. To use, simply drop the item to be toasted into the slot, turn the dial to select the shade setting from light to dark, and start the toasting process by pressing down on the lever, which lowers the bread into the heating chamber. In addition to the shade-setting dial, the unit's side control panel features a digital display, which indicates both the shade setting and the toasting process, and three blue-backlit control buttons that make it easy to select the "defrost", "reheat", or "cancel" function. The toaster also provides an integrated warming rack for heating croissants, buns, rolls, and other baked goods. Other highlights include high-lift extension for safely removing smaller pieces of bread, a removable crumb tray, and cord storage to help keep countertops looking tidy. The toaster measures 7 by 14-2/5 by 7-1/5 inches.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Darn Toaster Ever, January 27, 2010

This review is from: Haier TST240SS Stainless-Steel Long-Slot 4-Slice Digital Toaster (Kitchen)

I saw a toaster with a single long slot used on a TV cooking show once and have wanted to get one ever since. I do a lot of baking, including baking rustic breads. Because they are rustic loaves, slises usually do not fit in regular length toaster slots. Then I saw this baby. Not only is it a long slot toaster, but it has two of them. I was sold. I ordered one right away. In fact I had to wait because Amazon had not yet relieced them for shipping.

Upon arrival, I was not disappointed. It worked just as I had hoped. Not only does it work great for long slices, but it is the best toaster I have ever had period. Once you learn what settings to use for a given type of bread, be it plain old white, wheat, bagels, english muffins, etc., all you have to do is use that setting next time and it turns out perfect. I have not tried the warming rack yet, but I don't see any reason why it would not work great as well.

If you love toast. Buy this toaster.

My wife bakes bread which tends to be too long for a standard size toaster so I ordered this long slot toaster and am very happy. The browning control adjusts the number of blue lights from 1 to 10 with 5 being the default. The lights count down as toasting progresses so with a glance you can see how much longer before done. It's nice looking and has a pop up warming rack. The only negative is no bagel setting where only one element heats, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

Love this toaster. It looks great- elegant and slim.

Very easy to use- love the digital aspect. Just turn the knob to change the settings.

I don't think I'll use the bun warmer, but it is a pretty neat feature!

Highly Recommended!

UPDATE:
Had to mention two more things:
The small "footprint" is fantastic. Takes so little room on the counter compared to other four slice/two slot toasters!

It works FAST! Adding this because just two days ago, to my surprise, I found myself saying outloud, "Wow, that was fast!" Watch the settings, though- 2 dots or 3 dots, most, will brown that toast!

Oh yeah- my three teenagers all think it's "awesome" for what that's worth!
