I bought this toaster because it was so cheap. Big mistake. The first time I used it, the toast wouldn't stay down. I kept seeing blue flashes which kind of scared me. After using it for a few weeks I realized it toasted VERY unevenly. I'd had it for about a month when it completely broke. It wouldn't stay down, and even when I held the lever down, it wouldn't come on. Stupid piece of crap toaster. Negative five hundred stars.

We registered for this for our wedding, and after about 5 months of use, we realized we needed to upgrade. If you want a toaster for your first apartment and can't afford anything else, then this will do. It does the job. It always toasted both sides of my toast. If you can spare even $30, you can get a MUCH better toaster.

My biggest complaint is that this does not collect crumbs at all. I am constantly cleaning crumbs off my counter. I upgraded to a 4-slice model for around $30, and I haven't seen a crumb in months.

Also, the handle was sticky and sometimes you can't get it to stay down well.

This is going to the Salvation Army. Hope you get a better one if you are in the market for a new toaster.

This toaster is a hazardous inconvenience. The toaster burned the toast so severely that there were actually flames coming out of the toaster. Thinking that the bread I sliced was too thin, I cut a thicker piece and tried again. This time, one side of the toast was completely burned, with flames coming out of the toaster once again, while the other side of the toast was not toasted at all. I returned this toaster immediately. I recommend that you don't buy this toaster, unless you love having extremely burnt toast, and enjoy small appliances starting on fire with the large risk of your house erupting into flames.

Whlie this is a decent basic toaster for just bread...it is poorly constructed. If you try to toast something skinny (such as a poptart) it will likely fall down into the machine and cause a mess. Also, the pop up spring does not have much resistance so if you are making something a little heavier than bread it will pop up and sink back in so that you have to manually hold up the lever to retrieve it. All in all, I am very dissatisfied with this product

Easily the worst toaster ever. Brendaa the 5 star above must have gotten the single toaster in the whole production series that actually worked. There are just not enough words in the English Language to describe this utterly useless peice of junk that will not hold toast down etc. etc.. Well, maybe not useless, if you are looking for something to bring about a cathartic welling of emotions that has you standing in the yard with a maul and and a toaster at your feet. I'd give it a minus 5 stars, but they do not even have a 0 star vote.

As someone stated above, this toaster does burn when used. I have to return it. Lots trouble!

Do not even try it!

I have one question: Did the people at Toastmaster ever bother to even test this product before they put it on the market?

I didn't want to buy an expensive $75 toaster and didn't want that four slice kind that takes up half your countertop so I thought this would do. It has NEVER worked since it came out of the box. A quick look inside will tell you why it doesn't toast evenly. One side has several heating coils and the other has 3 ! DUH! The crumb tray is worthless and the spring action is defective. This was $12 thrown away. Buy a better model.

not only does it only toast one side, it takes several attempts to make the bread stay down to be toasted. The blue flash at eash attempt is not some thing I care to see in an electrical appliance. The plastic case does stay cool, but as a toaster, it isn't much.

It is rare to see a product backed by a name like Toastmaster that performs its basic, core function -- making toast -- so poorly. Even an English Muffin will slip through to the bottom of the toaster, creating a 15 minute "recovery" job since it has no sliding crumb tray.

When your item doesn't fall to the bottom of the toaster, it will burn on one side while not cooking at all on the other. Sometimes, if you're lucky, the machine will moderately warm your bread so that after two or three rounds of toasting, and you'll have something resembling toast.

This item works fairly better with simple, sliced white bread. Try other shapes or bread densities at your own peril. All in all, you're better off without a toaster. Don't buy this one.

It worked fine for one month (we were using it twice a day), but then the handle would not stay down when we tried to use it. We can still use the toaster, but we have to hold the handle down ourselves and have to determine when to shut it off.

Bottom line: Poor quality. Would not recommend.

EDIT: After 3 months of use, the toaster started smoking one day. It now resides in a landfill.
