Amazon.com Review

Here's a thoroughly modern toaster large enough and nimble enough to serve the whole family. Extra-wide slots accommodate bagels, muffins, waffles, pastries, and thick bread. The four slots are divided into two independently operated sets, with each set of two slots having its own six-stop browning control for precise toasting. Each set also has a stop/eject button. In addition, the left set has buttons to defrost frozen bread and other items and to reheat previously toasted items that have gone cold. Each set also has a "high-lift" lever, to facilitate safe removal of small items, and its own removable crumb tray. The sizable toaster is lightweight and easily carried by its inset handle in the back. The handsome exterior of tough, white plastic wipes cleans with a cloth. --Fred Brack

Editor's Choice: T-Fal's Avante Deluxe 4-slice toaster is our choice for the best toaster under $75. An attractive machine, this toaster may make other kitchen appliances jealous with the attention it will receive. But don't get stuck just on its looks, because it also has a variety of fine features.

Product Description

The slick design of this toaster is not only flashy but also functional, as it allows you to retrieve your bread more easily and safely. Each pair of slots has its own controls, so you and your spouse won't have to "settle" for bread that is not toasted to your concept of perfection. Wide slots welcome bagels, muffins, toaster pastries and thick slices of bread. You can interrupt the cycle as needed, and you can re-warm without burning. No wonder this appliance won an award!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the best, November 28, 2000

By A Customer

I Love this toaster. I know that sounds strong, but in the past three years, I've had seven toasters, and none of them worked right. I had forgotten that toast was supposed to be crispy. I've tried every brand of toaster that there is, and this is definitely the best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Returned it same day, August 22, 2002

By A Customer

We wanted to love this toaster. Looks great, cool design, nice features, matches our black and stainless appliances. But, given the decidely hot and cold reviews here, we decided to buy one at a local store rather than risk having to pay to ship it back. Good choice, it turns out.
We had the same experience of all the other negative reviewers here: Horribly unevenly toasted bread, the result of only about 60 percent of the thin heating elements actually heating up -- or at least appearing to heat up, in contrast with all the others. Result: French bread totally black on top, soft and white on the bottom, and somewhere in between on the other side.
Given the frequency of this problem documented here and elsewhere, this must be either a serious design flaw, or the company has very inept quality control. No excuse for a toaster in this price range.
Also, the slots also are not long enough to accommodate wide slices of bread, such as french bread, sourdough or other non-square varieties. Maybe not a big deal if you don't use those.
We exchanged it for another brand, similar price, with two extra-long slots and similar features (all of the settings of this toaster, plus a "defrost" cycle.) Far, far superior performance. :) Just a glance at the inside of the other toaster -- at its beefier, more secure, and more numerous heating elements, suggested it was a better value. And guess what? It actually makes edible toast! Steer clear of this one, unless you're feeling lucky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Toaster For A Variety Of Uses!, July 14, 2002

By	Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I recently bought this as a replacement for one damaged in a fire by smoke and soot. I was pleased to find that this particular model was not only very attractive and a nice addition to the remodeled kitchen, but also quite versatile and functional as well. That said, this is a quite modern toaster large enough to meet your breakfast needs, even with a number of people around the table. It has extra-wide slots that will accommodate bagels, muffins, waffles, pastries, and thick bread. Its four slots have two independently operated sets, with each set of two slots having its own browning controls.

It has a number of other features, as well. Each set has a stop/eject button, and the left set has buttons to defrost items such as frozen bread or bagels, and to then reheat those items previously toasted but now cold. Each set has what is referrd to as a "high-lift" lever, which facilitates removal of small items, and a removable crumb tray. The toaster itself is lightweight and is deftly carried by an inset handle in the back of the unit. It easily wipes cleans with a cloth. All in all, we are quite happy with it, anbd would highly recommend it. Enjoy!
