Pros: continous bottom bread wire
narrower slots than most
centers bread in slots well
simple operation
easy to clean
removable slide-out crumb tray
Cons: bulky
darkess dial has no click stops, also functions as "cancel"
heating elements light erratically, so uneven toasting that varies each use
crumb tray too shallow
long cool-down time
typical made-in-China quality (as in, lack of)
All I want to do is toast plain old supermarket bread, so I chose this model because it had the fewest silly whizbangs and the narrowest slots. I knew it would be bigger than my old toaster, but wow, is it ever huge (probably just to keep the plastic exterior far away from the heating elements, because it's mostly hollow and weighs a lot less than the teeny metal toaster it replaced). Still, compared to other models it has clean lines and is not unattractive, just bulky for a mere toaster.
Despite the narrower (1.3") slots, two slices of plain bread can fit in each slot (won't toast that way, though), plenty of room for English muffin and bagel halves that are smaller than your head. There's no toast-one-side option; according to the manual, the "bagel" and "defrost" buttons only extend toasting time, period. You can, however, heat Pop Tarts and Pillsbury Toaster Pastries in it, which many current toasters say not to do. I'd credit that to the bottom bread holder, which is a thick, continuous winding wire and not two pairs of opposing teeth like other toasters I looked at -- your bread/bagel/Pop Tart won't easily fall through. This is a good feature.
To stop toasting early you can't lift the handle -- you have to turn the darkness dial all the way back to cancel. It turns loosely and smoothly, but that also means you can't set-and-forget your ideal darkness; jostling the toaster is enough to change the setting. And you MUST watch the setting -- maximum "dark" is more like "incinerate"; setting the dial halfway comes out pretty dark.
Sometimes. Sometimes it's light. Sometimes it's light on top and dark on the bottom, or dark vs. light on the flip side, or striped from side to side, or sometimes perfectly even all around. You never know what you're going to get, and you're probably going to want to monitor the toasting process so you can intervene if needed. I don't think I'd let a child use it unsupervised.
Despite its shortcomings, I'd still choose this model over all the ones I saw in-store. There's simply no such thing as a good toaster anymore, but this Waring seems better than many of the rest. I'm learning to live with it.
And now a moment of mourning for my cheap little all-steel, made-in-USA toaster, which after 18 years of perpetually perfect toasting, quietly died last month. We will never see its like again.

I purchased this for my father because he is quite picky and he loves it. There are heating coils on both sides for toasting, which was a problem with the last one he purchased. It gets his toast nice and dark without drying it out like a brick. Doesn't have a ton of unnecessary buttons. The cool to touch feature is nice, does make the toaster a tad bulky looking, but if you're someone who touches the sides of the toaster while using it you won't mind the size. I did purchase this at a retail store and not through Amazon and actually got it for a lower price but I think it is worth asking price.

Toaster worked fine for less than 2 months, then lever would not stay down (engage) to begin toasting. Am trying to get manufacturer to replace, but know this won't happen. This replaced a Cuisinart toaster that had the same problem. Either toaster would have been satisfactory if they worked as intended. Seems like anything we buy today is a "crap shoot" as to how long they last and how they perform. Amazon is not the fault for product failure. they sell in good faith, we purchase in good faith.
NOTE::: tHE ABOVE IS NOT CORRECT! I wrote this review, and discovered later,, that the dial had inadvertenly been turned to
"CANCEL" and the toaster was doing exactly what it was supposed to do....File the above report under "OWNER STUPIDITY" the toaster works just fine, and I rate this a 5 STAR. My apologies to Waring, and any reader that read my review prior to this.

Very nice
It is very sensitive but once you learn how to set it, it does a great job. Toast is perfect every time.

It burns my kids' fingers and smaller slices get jammed
What is it about how lousy toasters are in general? This one fails to raise ordinarily sized bread to a height high enough that you can retrieve the toasted bread without burning... Read more

Works great!
It works very well, much better than the cheap toaster that we had before. It is higher wattage (1000W) than many toasters so it toasts faster, too. Read more

Stopped working
Haven't had it even a month, one side won't stay down, slots are to big to hold slices and you have to dig out your bread/waffles when they're done. Returning this item.
