Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Equipped with four 1-1/4-by-5-1/2-inch slots to accommodate bread, bagels, and English muffins, this 1,600-watt toaster is designed for a contemporary breakfast. Each pair of slots has separate controls, so at least two diners' preferences can be fulfilled simultaneously. Dials offer six browning settings, from light to dark, and a microchip to ensure consistency, while slide-out crumb trays and levers to lift short slices extra high provide convenience. To prevent burning, when the selected toast-time elapses, the toasting elements shut off automatically, even if the toast jams. This handsome toaster, in gleaming plastic that stays cool to the touch, measures 11 by 8-1/2 by 11 inches. --Fred Brack

Editor's Choice: Hamilton Beach's four-slice IntelliToast toaster is our choice for the best toaster under $40. It provides a lot of functionality for the price, as well as two pairs of slots (each with its own controls). There's also a stop control on top of the toaster if you need to interrupt toasting at some point, as well as a knob that allows you to choose "bagel" or "toast."

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy at your own risk, February 16, 2002

By	Pam Dunninton (Kansas City, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews

Like so many other customers have stated, this product lasted less than a year. In the first place, when the item was new, it needed to be turned almost all the way for "average" toast. Then, within 4 months of purchasing this four toast toaster, the two inside elements quit working. The inside bread (or bagel, etc.) would only be toasted on one side. I will not purchase a Hamilton Beach toaster in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and to clean, December 21, 2000

By	Debbie Disney (Owings Mills, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews

I replaced my old bagel toaster with this one, and I love it. It is easy enough for my youngest (4) year old to use, and because there is room for two bagels or four waffles/toast, everyone is happy in the morning. It is also very easy to clean and the food does not get stuck in the toaster slots.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lasted about one year, February 6, 2002

By A Customer

During that one year in use the intensity control knobs worked well. The stop at notch 2 made really difference from the stop at notch 3. I used both compartments about 3 times a week. However, the right compartment coil burnt out recently after about one year in service. Do I want to buy toasters on an annual basis? No.
