Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
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.

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.

I bought this toaster with high expectations since it has two long, wide slots big enough for four slices of bread, a beautiful brushed steel exterior, and a nice array of features such as a bagel toaster, frozen bread setting, lift for painless removal of bread, and cancel buttons. (The bagel setting "adjusts for the thickness of the bread" and it not a one-sided toasting feature.) The Oster would have been perfect for my needs - if only it toasted well.
When I first got it, I plopped a couple of frozen bagels into it - and within minutes I had to cancel the process when smoke rose from the toaster. I tried with new bagels, at a much lower setting. I had to pop up the bagels again before I set off the smoke detectors. I gave up when the bagels were still burning at 2 1/3 out of 6. Plus, the bagels didn't go all the way into the slots; the top inch wasn't even toasted despite the charred remainder. At that point, I figured it wasn't worth trying more, especially since continued use would mean that I was stuck with it. I packed it up and returned it.
A peek inside the toaster showed that not all the toasting wires turned red during toasting (whether they worked or not seemed random), which may explain why some people complain of uneven browning. The Oster is truly one of the best looking toasters on the market. The controls actually feel solid, and the blue light that illuminates to show which features are working is helpful. It's a shame that it cannot do its job. Is it really so difficult to make a good, dependable toaster?
I eventually bought the T-Fal Avante Deluxe, a better choice for me, although it, too, has its drawbacks.

It is so unfortunate that we are all victims of the quality issues that come with globalization. I have read the complaints about uneven toasting. And they are correct. It does toast unevenly, that is due to poor quality management at the factory where the Chinese slave labors are working. But do not fear!! You can actually fix this problem yourself with some very careful operations using a very thin straight edge screw driver or an exacto-knife!! What happens is the elements need to be separated slightly from the metal sides in order to heat. You will notice the portions of element wires that are in direct contact with the sides do not light up when you power your toaster (push the knob down) What needs to be done is this: Unplug the toaster, note which elements did not have separation from the metal side plates, gently pry that portion away from the side wall giving it just a very small gap. Do this to all portions of the element wires that are not gapped away from the side walls, and then re-plug the toaster and watch the elements glow!!! It then will toast your breads, bagels, beagles or whatever you want to throw in there. It is one of the only toasters that can toast homemade bread. So I was willing to give it a go and purchased and modified mine. Works great now. They should pay me to fix em all, but I don't want to live in a slave camp to do it.......

The Oster 6330 Inspire Toaster looks great on the counter. Four slices of toast lets everyone get toast. The long slots handle extra long bread for big sandwiches. Read more

Short Life Span
After about 3 months of use, the toaster started burning everything, even on low settings. After 5 months, the latch has broken, and this toaster is now toast.

Fine if I only use it once a day
I replaced a 15 year old, crusty, cheap, old two slice toaster which worked just fine. But for my family of 6, I felt we needed something larger. Read more
