4.0 out of 5 stars this toaster is fine, December 12, 2005

By	Hunter James "Hunter" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I bought this toaster about 6 months ago from Amazon without reading the reviews. Shortly before it got here I noticed the review section and read all the horrible reviews for this toaster and became really concerned that the toaster wouldn't work properly. It came about six months ago, I've used it pretty much every day since then and it works just fine. No weird, uneven toast. No sticky handle. None of the scary stuff in the other reviews. Its pretty, and it works. Its a toaster.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great look - but it burned everything, May 9, 2005

By	Debbie Lee Wesselmann (the Lehigh Valley, PA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I bought this toaster with high expectations since it has two long, wide slots big enough for four slices of bread, a beautiful brushed steel exterior, and a nice array of features such as a bagel toaster, frozen bread setting, lift for painless removal of bread, and cancel buttons. (The bagel setting "adjusts for the thickness of the bread" and it not a one-sided toasting feature.) The Oster would have been perfect for my needs - if only it toasted well.

When I first got it, I plopped a couple of frozen bagels into it - and within minutes I had to cancel the process when smoke rose from the toaster. I tried with new bagels, at a much lower setting. I had to pop up the bagels again before I set off the smoke detectors. I gave up when the bagels were still burning at 2 1/3 out of 6. Plus, the bagels didn't go all the way into the slots; the top inch wasn't even toasted despite the charred remainder. At that point, I figured it wasn't worth trying more, especially since continued use would mean that I was stuck with it. I packed it up and returned it.

A peek inside the toaster showed that not all the toasting wires turned red during toasting (whether they worked or not seemed random), which may explain why some people complain of uneven browning. The Oster is truly one of the best looking toasters on the market. The controls actually feel solid, and the blue light that illuminates to show which features are working is helpful. It's a shame that it cannot do its job. Is it really so difficult to make a good, dependable toaster?

I eventually bought the T-Fal Avante Deluxe, a better choice for me, although it, too, has its drawbacks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Burnt, Burnt, and Broke, April 26, 2006

By	gregory julien (Santa Cruz) - See all my reviews

At first, it was ok; but, you had to watch it carefully or the toast would burn. Second of all, if you touched the outside of the toaster it would burn your fingers. The buttons didn't work. Lastly, after six months of light use it stopped working. The toaster would start toasting the item but it wouldn't stop and the cancel button didn't work either creating a fire hazard. When we did an autopsy on the toaster, the inside electrical motherboard was blackened.

In summary, based on the other reviews and personal experience, don't buy this toaster.
