Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Featuring a warming rack for buns, rolls, and croissants, this two-slice, 850-watt toaster comes in handy at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Pressing a button raises the rack, which consists of two wavy chrome wires, above the toaster's slots, where bread items can heat on one side and then the other. The slots measure 5-1/8 by 1-1/8-inches, large enough to accommodate thick bread, bagels, and English muffins, and a lever raises small items extra high for safe removal. There's one button on the front for toasting bagels on the cut side only and another button for increasing the toasting time of frozen items so they defrost first. Seven electronically controlled settings permit precise browning according to personal preference. The toaster is clad in hard, bright white plastic, has chrome slots, and measures 6 inches wide, 7-1/2 inches high, and 10-1/4 inches deep. It has a slide-out crumb tray and cord wrap on the bottom. --Fred Brack

I totally agree with the person who tried to retrieve his poptart. Don't buy this toaster if you plan to toast frozen waffles or french toast sticks. On top of that, keep your children from trying to retrieve anything that has fallen down into this toaster. There is metal on the top around where the slices are placed and it gets very hot! My eight year old son was badly burned by this toaster. It's now in the garbage where it belongs. Don't buy this toaster!

This toaster worked OK for a year but now it's broken. The lever doesn't catch anymore at the bottom. The only way to toast now is to stand there and hold it down for a few minutes. It lasted about 300 cycles before breaking. Time to buy a new one, but will not be buying this one again.

I popped my tart in and it took me 15 minutes of poking and shaking to get it out. Then another period of trying to burn off the syrupy filling. Arrgg. The thing is full of wire blocking retrieval of anything sticky or too thin.
