This is probably the best toaster you'll find in this price range. My only complaint is that the elements on the center of the two slices don't seem to toast as well as the outside due to their position, but still a great deal.

It's a sleek design and a good price. It over toasts easily, and we've burnt several things, but if you keep the setting on "1" you're fine.

I love it, I like the bagel button I like the color but I don't really care about it being plastic on the outside shell,but I guess over all I would buy one just like it over again. It does cook the toast and bagels excellent

It doesn't toast evenly, sometimes two of the slots don't heat up at all, it melted, the actual plastic where you place the toast into the toaster melted... and it's ugly. The ugly part was clearly visible oinline but I thought I could live with it for 24 dollars... now I have to spend again since a restocking fee of 15-50% will be charged if I return it...

I am throwing this toaster out today, after having owned it for slightly longer than one month. It seemed to be fine for about the first week. After that, the timer started working intermittently, so that every once in a while, but with increasing frequency, what ever was in the thing would simply burn to a crisp. More recently, it started toasting unevenly, so that half the bread or bagel would be quite dark and the other half would look like it had never been in a toaster. I went out and bought a 4 slice Cuisinart toaster, which is what I should have done to begin with. It is considerably more money, but at least it works.

This is a terrible product. The toaster does not toast evenly or consistently. The mechanism on the right side broke on our unit. There is no release when you want to pop the toast up to examine if it is done. It would have been less trouble to just burn my money.

I bought the Sunbeam 3911 toaster after accidentally getting a toaster popup stuck between the toaster wall and the wire basket on my old toaster (the 2-slice Sunbeam 3910). When I tried to clean the toaster I caused one of the heating wires to bow away from the inside piece it is wrapped around. I got the Sunbeam 3911 home and glanced inside it only to see one wire, approximately half an inch long, sticking straight out towards the wire basket and another piece of wire that looked like it had been sticking out but then been pressed down flat. I also saw several spots where the wire was bowed away from the piece it wraps around - not as far as I had accidentally pulled the wire on my old toaster but it definitely didn't look right. I also noticed that instead of wrapping the wire from the notch on one side of the inner piece to the corresponding notch on the other side, there were several places where they jumped up a notch or two and the wire was at an angle causing a big gap between some of the wires. It may be cheaper for Sunbeam to use less wire, but I think it also explains why people using this toaster have problems with their bread toasting unevenly. I checked my old toaster and it was that way too, which explains why toast made in my old Sunbeam toaster had some areas that looked toasted and others that didn't. I have since taken the Sunbeam 3911 toaster back and purchased a different brand.

This toaster is okay. It does not brown evenly 1/2 dark the other 1/2 perfect brown, but we are not perfectionist. It does have a few perks that I do like. You can set it for bagel or toast. It browns hamburger rolls nicely. I like the "stop" button and that you can also lift up the toast higher so getting it out is much easier. If you are looking for a 4 slice toaster that is inexpensive and aren't fussy about even toasting, then you will like this. The perks to me out way uneven toasting.

This toaster is made cheaply of lightweight plastic. We've only had it about a month and already one side of the four slice option is not working properly. If you put two slices of bread in one side, one of them burns. I don't think this toaster will make it a year. For the money I wish I would have bought another brand although I'm not sure what brand since they all seem to be made shoddily nowadays.

This toaster was way more affordable than most 4 slot toasters, and does everything you need for day to day use. Nothing fancy, but looks nice, and is easy to use.
