loomis says "The BLD-T4500 4-slice toaster is a keeper" about Black & Decker BLD-T4500 4-Slice Toaster

loomis — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:52:11 GMT

The Black and Decker BLD-T4500 4-slice toaster is a keeper. Toasting level is consistant on all sides of all bread used, whether using one slice or 4. The adjustment knob for darkness is also very uniform. I really hate those toatters where a setting of 1-5 yeilds "raw" bread, 5.5 is perfect and 5.673 gets you charcoal briquettes. This toaster gets a little bit darker as you "turn up the volume." This consistancy is preserved regardless of type of material being toasted, regular bread, Texas-style bread, bagles, whatever, they all come out the way i like. Cleaning was easy, with a nice easy to access crumb tray with a good latch. Not too tight, so you don't have to give youself a stoke to get the thing open and not too loose so you don't have to slam it shut seven times before it latches. It has a good "high tech" look to it that fits well in my kitchen. The only negative is that the power cord is a little short, but I have never found a toaster with a long enough cord for my taste.

fosters503 says "Our T-Fal Toaster looked great, worked well, but didn't last." about T-Fal Toaster - Avanti 4 Slice Toaster

fosters503 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:18:43 GMT

We have had our T-Fal Toaster for only a couple years and it no longer works. Two of the slots only toast on one side -- and the other two slots either toast very lightly and have to be pushed down a couple times to get toast brown or do not pop up at all and burn toast to a crisp. We have had toasters in the past that lasted for years until they were outdated (e.g., too thin to toast bagels) and we replaced them -- not because they didn't work, but because they no longer met our toasting needs. We are very disappointed in the short life of our T-Fal Toaster.

biggs542 says "a must have in every kitchen" about black and decker toast it all 4 slice

biggs542 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:20:33 GMT

I have had the black and decker 4 slice toast it all for about 4 maybe 5 years now. It was originally bought as a replacement for another toaster I thought I loved. Now, after using the toast it all, I realize that this is the one for me and my family. The toaster toasts up to 4 slices, which helps busy mornings when everyone is up and trying to grab something for breakfast. My daughter likes toast, while my son would rather have a frozen waffle, with one click for each child they both can have breakfast at about the same time. The toaster also has different dankness level settings, this is especially nice for my husband and myself, as I like lightly toasted and he enjoys very very toasted. with 2 separate sides we can leave the settings at the same level each day and not have to move it back and forth every-time, just once in a while for a frozen treat. My husband also enjoys heating frozen chicken patties in our toaster, while I don't believe this is the true intention...

LauraOnIce says "An average toaster... once you learn its quirks" about Chefmate Toaster

LauraOnIce — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:43:56 GMT

I was so excited to have the opportunity to get a new toaster when my husband and I got married. Our old one, a cheap 2-slice Chefmate toaster, was driving me nuts. We'd put the bread in and push the lever down (so far, so good, right?)... and then it'd pop right back up! We had to stand there and manually HOLD the lever down if we wanted toast... which was not something I wanted to do the rest of my life!

So, a week before our wedding, I sent our old toaster off to Goodwill to frustrate someone else. What do you know--one of the first gifts we opened after our wedding was our new toaster... EXACTLY the same make & model as our previous one! (Oh no!) Furthermore, it had the same problem--the toast wouldn't stay down!

Fortunately, I figured this one out. I found if you turn the knob that allows you to program how dark you want to toast your bread BEFORE pushing the lever down, "resets" the toaster and allow the toast to stay down. Now, I consider our toaster perfectly...

vnaiman says "Not as good as expected" about T-Fal Toaster - Avanti 4 Slice Toaster

vnaiman — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:50:26 GMT

I was willing to pay more for this toaster because it was highly reviewed when I purchased it. It holds adjust to fit bread, bagels, frozen waffles, whatever you ned to toast. It has a bagel button and reheat feature which was appealing. Unfortunately, it toast darker on one side then the other (without the begal button pushed). It takes longer to toast then my previous cheaper toaster. It is very large as well - takes up too much counter space. Not recommended. Too much for the average quality.

LisaCarey says "Toast, reheat, defrost and quite often burn " about Cuisinart CPT-120 Cast Metal 2-Slice Toaster

LisaCarey — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:21:03 GMT

A toaster is one of those things that I absolutely must have in a kitchen, they are so versatile and I can quickly throw together something from a snack to a sandwich with the right equipment. Unfortunately the Cuisinart CPT-120 Cast Metal 2-Slice Toaster isn't the "right stuff."

While the Cuisinart CPT-120 Cast Metal 2-Slice Toaster has some nice features, like settings from 1-9, a cancel button, reheat, defrost and toast as well extra extra wide openings for bagels to toast those features and the $30.00 price tag don't outweigh the bad.

First, it is very easy to burn your toast or other food items with the Cuisinart CPT-120 Cast Metal 2-Slice Toaster. You really only need a setting of about 2 or 3 to toast properly but with this one the dial is easily moved accidentally ending up with a very dark 9 and food that you need to throw away.

Next, while the sides get only slightly warm getting to close to the top of the toaster while removing food and you will get burned.

teenymarie says "Sunbeam toaster was okay...while it worked" about Sunbeam 2 Slice Toaster, Model 3822-100

teenymarie — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:57:20 GMT

I needed a basic, no frills, inexpensive toaster. I found this Sunbeam two slice toaster for a reasonable price, and I'd had good experience with Sunbeam products in the past so I thought it would be a good purchase. The toaster was fine, nothing great or remarkable but it did the job. The bread comes out higher on top than most toasters, so it was nice to be able to take your bread, bagels, whatever out without burning yourself. The outside was supposed to be "cool touch", I don't know if I would go that far but it didn't get hot enough to actually burn me. After only a couple months of using it a couple times a week, it started to have that faint burning smell that alot of old small appliances get right before they quit working. So I was not surprised at all when it just quit getting hot and making toast. It was an inexpensive toaster but I still thought it would have lasted more than eight weeks.

Back To Basics TEM500 Egg-and-Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher

I am totally in love with this product. The boiled eggs are just right, if you have family members that each like a different style of boiled egg this is for you. I even made an egg muffin sandwich perfectly the first time. This product is so just a part of my dalily life that i wonder how I survived before having it with me in the kitchen. I can just not imagine anymore without this appliance, it makes life so much easier adn convenient. There are endless recipes that one can try with this product rather than having those boring breakfasts of hard boiled eggs every morning. This produtc is just a flawless product, it works more than perfect! Even after using it almost daily it works just the way it used to when purchased and used for the first time. It is also very easy to clean and doesnt take much of your time when doing it.

carolscookie says "Well worth the extra money!" about Kitchen Aid KTT340-2

carolscookie — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:16:16 GMT

Like many people I used to have a toaster oven. However, last Spring that changed. Why? Because I had purchased what I thought was a great brand in an expensive department store, only to have it break in less than a year, and since that toaster oven was the replacement toaster oven for less expensive one the year before, I had to say THAT'S IT!

So I began my search for the perfect toaster. After reviewing and looking at all the toasters and toaster ovens available to me, I finally decided to pay the extra money and buy a Kitchen Aid 2 slice toaster. The Kitchen Aid Toaster is by far the best product I have found in some time. It's sensors actually work and you get your toast exactly where you set the dial. The Kitchen Aid toaster, also has a very unique feature, which is that you can "warm" something up. For example, if I put a waffle into the Kitchen Aid toaster and my son or daughter has yet to arrive in the kitchen, I simple press the lever down again and push the "warm" button...

CountryMama says "Slots Big Enough for Bagels!" about GE 4 slice toaster that cooks frozen, bagel and bread

CountryMama — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:48:11 GMT

My toaster, the GE 4-slice bagel toaster, is a great little toaster. We've owned it for a couple of years and we use it regularly for bagels, English muffins, toast, waffles, pancakes, pop tarts etc. The defrost button allows frozen food, such as the waffles, to thaw while cooking and come out crisp, hot and delicious. The crumb trays are easy to clean and keeps the counter tops free of crumbs. We use the reheat option for heating up leftover pancakes. And of course it's perfect for bagels. I have yet to get a bagel stuck in the wide slots and they always come out perfectly brown and toasted.

However, there is a problem with my toaster. I have been recently clued in that the CPSC has recalled my particular toaster due to fire and shock hazards. That bums me out. For safety concerns, I will have to look into this matter further, so at this time I would not recommend buying or using this product.

Chrys says "Cost efficent and works great" about Black & Decker 2 slice toaster, model #FEW21B/7P0

Chrys — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:18:03 GMT

The toaster is cost efficient. It is suitable for everyday use. I have been using mine for the last three years. There is a crumbs plate at the bottom of the toaster which collects all the toast crumbs. I just unplug the toaster and remove the crumb plate and clean it. You can also toast frozen waffles which comes out really well. There are three settings on the toaster which has led lights. One is to cancel , the other for toasting frozen stuff generally waffles or frozen pancakes and the other one are for bagels. However the toast slots are not that big and hence if you buy breads from the bakery which are generally large in size than the standard ones, you might have a problem inserting the entire bread fully into the toaster.

Overall the black and decker toaster is a great addition to a kitchen and is suitable for practical everyday use. Its operations is not at all complicated. I have the black one and it perfectly matches the decor of my kitchen given that is all in white

elvisdo says "The 2-for-1 Hamilton Beach Toaster is a Handy Convenience" about Hamilton Beach Toaster - Black Toastation Toaster Oven

elvisdo — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 05:36:30 GMT

Our toaster eventually decide to meet its maker in the sky when the wiring started to melt (yeah, not a good sign). That only meant it was time to get a new toaster as a result. I started to browse around online to see what new toasters would make a great addition for the household and something that was useful for us. That's when I saw the Hamilton Beach Toaster and decided it was what we needed.

The Hamilton Beach Toaster is a two-for-one deal: It's sometimes a toaster and sometimes an oven. The 10"x17"x10" frame fits nicely on any countertop without taking much room making it a great space-saving unit. It stands upright like a toaster, but it also has a door and a rack to place items in the oven. I like the brushed silver finish with black front panel. It makes it feel like a modern appliance for the kitchen and plugs in nicely into the wall.

Looking at just the toaster part, it is wide enough to fit two bagels, slices of bread, or English muffins. The lever on the top allows you to...

MRSverret says "You get what you pay for " about Durabrand Toaster - 2 slice Toaster

MRSverret — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:50:37 GMT

I'm one of those people who don't like to spend a lot on small kitchen appliances. I could think of a million other ways I'd like to spend that money.Plus we probably use the toaster twice a month. Then it goes back into the cabinet. So when I buy those types of things I buy cheap. Unfortunately sometimes it doesn't work to my advantage.

The Durabrand 2 slice toaster was a bargain at $10. It has the basic functions of any toster.There are five settings and there is a setting that will stop the toasting. And when it's finished it pops your food up.

Now the bad things about the Durabrand 2 slice toaster. When the toaster ejects whatever food you have in there it only pops up most of the way. Then you have to manually move the button to push it up. The cord is too short. It's only about 12 inches so you have a limited space to put it in. Another issue is the crumb tray. The only way to access it is from the bottom. It makes a mess.

Probably the worst thing of all is this toaster is a safety...

jennieleigh07 says "Toast It" about Cuisinart Toaster 2-Slice Custom Control Touch CPT-60

jennieleigh07 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:27:26 GMT

I usually stick with Kitchaid and other brands for my kitchen supplies, but I heard from a friend that this toaster was nice and it was definitley worth it for the price, so I decided to give it a try. I love that its custom controlled and the look of it fits nicely with that of my other kitchen appliances. It has a stainless steel crumb tray that you can use in the dishwasher or sink, whichever you prefer. That alone is a very nice feature. It is very simple to use. You can adjust the lightness or darkness that you would like your bread to come out as. My only complaint is that Cuisinart does not produce a 4-slice toaster in the Custon Control Touch CPT-60 make. And if they do, I have yet to come across one. My fiance and I are bread-eaters and we definitley use more than 2 slices of toast per serving so it would be nice to be able to have the convience of a 4-slice toaster. Other than that, it is definitley a good investment.

klk007 says "Toaster and oven in 1 appliance." about Hamilton Beach Toaster - Black Toastation Toaster Oven

klk007 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:05:15 GMT

I put the Black and Decker Toaster/Toaster Oven on my Christmas list last year. It was the best gift I got, because I definitely use it every single day. I had a perfectly good toaster oven and a perfectly good toaster, but I have limited counter space. I eliminated two appliances and replaced them with the compact, good-looking Black and Decker Toaster/Toaster Oven.

I use it in the morning for my English Muffin or Bagel and then again in the evening for small dinner entrees. I'm only cooking for one and there is no need to turn on the oven.

The toaster on top is large enough to accommodate large bagels. The clear glass door makes it possible to watch the toasting process so there is no more burnt toast.

Although this appliance uses less counter space than the toaster oven I used to have, the inside oven part is the same size. The metal tray fits in both.

The exterior is easy to keep clean and doesn't show finger prints or greasy kitchen residue.

rr123 says "TIME SAVER" about KMT400 KMT400

rr123 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:30:34 GMT

Four-slice toasters cost more than two-slicers, but for families, they can speed up breakfast prep considerably. The KitchenAid KMTT400 gets solid reviews, and it's particularly nice looking. There are separate controls... for each set of slots, so everyone can get the level of browning they prefer. Wide slots and a bread lift make it easy to get to your toast without reaching into the toaster. Owners are happy with the browning dials, which have a wide range of settings. Bagels fit easily within the slots, and owners say that toasting is fairly quick. The downside is this toaster's cost, but owners like it nonetheless.
