I'm not sure why people are giving this product such bad reviews. It's a toaster, how often are you really using this thing? I've been able to make pop tarts and regular toast quite easily with this machine. Here's a little instruction sheet for anyone not up to snuff on today's modern technology. 1) Plug toaster into wall 2) Insert bread, waffle or pop tart 3) Turn dial to desired browning level 4) Gently push button(s) down 5) Wait 6) Eat. It's really that simple, I kid you not! Don't abuse your toaster, treat it right and you'll have years of happy toast.

It's impossible to find another toaster this cheap...in more than one way. The quality on this toaster is pretty low, even for notoriously twitchy Toastmasters. The toaster has a very handsome appearance and has extremely wide slots for bagels and the like, but toasting can be uneven. Make sure you watch what you're toasting. Mechanically, there are a few problems with the toaster that give me pause for recommending this model. Whoever posted a review earlier is right -- half the time, when you push the lever down to toast, it doesn't catch. So you're stuck repeatedly pushing down the lever until it finally catches. Of course, I discovered a whole new problem in that when the toast *does* stay down, sometimes the toaster doesn't actually click on. So your bread is just sitting in there without being toasted. So is this toaster a good value for $5.99? Yes, if you really need a 4 slice toaster. But the mechanical problems that I (and others) have had make me wary about the durability and safety of this model. I'd only use it if I could supervise its performance at all times, and I always make sure to unplug it when not in use.

It's really simple really--a toaster should toast. That can't happen if the bread doesn't stay down. If you press and hold, again and again, it will catch. Maybe you'll have better luck with the quality of yours and take a chance as five bones is a very cheap price!

A piece of crap. Unless you like standing there and holding the handle down, forget this "toaster". One of the controls spins. Even the trash man won't take this piece of crap.

I've gotten two of these, one for me and one for a relative, and we've had no complaints. It does take longer to toast frozen waffles, but if you defrost them first like you're supposed to, then they toast them fine.
They heat up fast and the dials are easy to use. It's nice to have separate dials to toast different things at different settings too. The slots are extra wide for bagels too.

This is the most horrible toaster I have ever bought. The toast heats unevenly, making one side browner than the other. Not so bad if you dont mind turning your toast half way through the process. The really bad part is the knobs to release the toast broke after less than a week - both sides! Now my knobs are merely there for decoration, as they certainly dont pop the toast up, my toast still is overcooked on one side and not at all on the other - no matter what setting it is at. Needless to say, I will soon be buying myself a new toaster, and likely not this brand.

I bought this toaster about a year ago. It is good for toast and frozen waffles - and only good. The settings are not accurate and not consistant on both sides; put it on 2 for toast and 2 slices will be darker than the other 2... also, the front and back sides are not done evenly. Today, the right side quit popping up. Even on a low setting the side that won't pop up, it just keeps cooking until you smell it burning. Not durable, not very useful, does not cook consistant left side to right side slices.
