I purchased this Hamilton Beach toaster last year and was very happy with it for the first 4 months untill the digital eliments on the right side went out. Hamilton Beach customer service was happy to send me a new toaster if I cut off the plug on the older toaster and sent it in along with shipping charges. Three weeks later I recieved my new toaster. It lasted 2 months before the same digital eliments went out again. Hamilton again agreed to replace it and at my request send a non digital toaster. The customer service was very good but the toaster just didn't hold up.

I was given this toaster for a birthday gift- it lasted exactly 2 months and the left side just completely went out. I asked about having it serviced and it would cost about the same as a new toaster cost. I would skip this toaster and get one that would last at least 6 months

Overall, this is a great, reliable toaster. I personally didn't find the "bagels" setting to my liking, since it toasts only one side of the bagel. The setting would be fine for spreading cream cheese on the untoasted side, but I spread margarine on my bagels, so I've ended up using a regular toast setting. The need to pull the plug from the wall outlet to turn it off does take some getting used to.

After a few short months, the toaster failed...The worst of it is, Hamilton Beach knows this product shipped out defective, and is doing nothing to help it's customers...I will never purchase a Hamilton Beach product again.

I purchased this model for it's appearance and name brand which I thought meant Quality. As another has written, the first toaster,(does that tell you anything?), lasted about 4 months then the the right side digital stopped working. That was the side that was used the least. After doing as HB customer service directed , cut off the plug and send the $5.99. I received a replacement toaster which lasted about another 6 months. I did not want to continue having to deal with this and bought a different brand but still digital, which has not given me any problems. I think this model has some serious quality issues and HB should either fix them or stop selling this model.

This toaster looks great, but after 6 or 7 months the right side just died. It's strange because that's the side we rarely used (so I know we didn't burn it out from overuse). Now it is 13 months old, and the left side is still working, but we basically have a 2-slot toaster taking up the space of a 4-slice one.

I purchased and tried this toaster for about 2 weeks. Very slow toasting in comparison to my previous Black and Decker. I returned the unit and purchased a Black and Decker.

This toaster toasts the bread evenly on both sides. The only draw back is that the toast doesn't rise all the way up when finished. You have to lift up a lever to get it out.

Bought this toaster with high expectations but was let down. The right side never worked. Let's hope that this is the exception and not the rule.

Bread gets evenly toasted; nice shape and design; easy to clean. Only drawback is that it's a bit slow; on the other hand, maybe it will last longer than the Cuisanart we had that burned hotter and toasted faster, but burned out much too quickly.
