I cant believe I have finally found a GREAT TOASTER. For the past three years, I have purchased and returned just about every brand of toaster sold on the US market and have drawn blanks with each and every purchaseand this is no exaggerated statement. From the simplest and least expensive sold on and other retailers to the most expensive four/slice British handmade toaster brand costing over 300.00 for the toaster, I have purchased more than a dozen toasters and all have failed my minimum standard I look for in a toasterto toast a piece of bread evenly across the whole piece of bread from top to bottom and left to right or as the grandson of a friend of mine said, from north to south and east to west on the slice of bread. Is that asking too much from a toasterany toasterto perform the very job each one they were made to do. Until now!
This four/slice toaster has done it. First, it toasts both sides of the bread. Believe it or not, several of the other toasters would not even toast both sides of the bread. It was insane and unbelievable. The toasted both sides without any stripes going up and down on each side of the bread or toast. Each piece of toast looks as if I held one big toasting element in front of each side of the bread until it was toasted instead of several rows of heating elements which do usually cause striping on the toast. Now this was something I knew I had to live with simply because of the way the heating elements are placed in the toaster except for the expensive toaster made in England and costs about 300.00 for each toaster. Their heating elements numbers are nearly three or four times the number of all other toasters on the market today. So how the got their toaster not to toast without these stripes is simply short of a miracle. But however they did it is their own secret and should remain just thata secret. But I swear I dont want to know because then I cant be forced to tell. And this from a 70.00 toaster. OK, I am not in heaven, but it feels as if I am.
The has no buttons to push. Every function is done by a touch panel. Whether its a desire to toast a little more (30 seconds in this case) or to choose to to toast a bagel, or to toast something that is frozen, or other function, all you have to do is to touch the panel and a flurry of lights appear showing you that it has been selected and thats it. There are six toasting levels. You I choose which level (how light or dark) you want your toast to be, touch the number on the touch panel and to the side of that number is an array of lights come on. While your bread is toasting from 5 (very dark) for example, those lights climb down the ladder which allows you to watch the toasting level of the toaster go from 5 to 4 to 3 etc down to off. At any time, if you think you have toasted the bread too much you can cancel the toasting function and the toast will rise up ending the toasting.
One function this toaster does not have that all other toasters I have owned or owned and returned is the ability to lift the push lever up a little bit which helps you take out the hot toast from the toaster to prevent your burning of the fingers. So why has not given the toaster this option? Simplebecause it lowers the toast less than other toasters so that the toast sits higher in the toast chamber so that when you go to remove the toast its as high as when with other toaster you lift the push lever up just a little bit. Does that make sense? In other words, when it raises the toast after toasting is completed it puts it at a height as if you have raised the toast so to not burn your fingers when removing the toast from the chamber. No need to lift the push lever up. The toast is already at that same level.
After toasting the bread you might find one side is toasted as you like it and the other side slightly lighter or at least that is what I found, but that is the only flaw I noticed with this toaster. Its better to have one side lighter that to have one side burned or darker.
All the other functions are the same as with other toasters. The difference is that you hit a touch panel with your finger rather than depressing a button to do so. On the four/slice toaster, the offers dual controls so that you can toast slots one and two independently from slots three and four. The toaster I had before this one had only one set of controls for all four slots and that toaster cost twice as much as this one. Bravo to the toaster.
As I said before, the best toaster out of 12+ toasters I have owned over the last two and one/half years and lots of kudos to ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Though the slots in this toaster are a bit wider than some They are not super wide. But most bread and bagels should fit. It toasts evenly. There is a removable crumb tray.
This toaster is made in China and being sold by Chinese company on . At the current price of 70 bucks I find it quite expensive. If youre willing to pay this much, you may wish to look into toaster ovens which will give you more flexibility and are not just for toast.
I recently remodeled my kitchen and wanted a modern and sleek look. So I have been searching for appliances that looked modern and also worked well. This toaster is a beautiful design with a touch screen display. It has all the basics of a toaster but it gives a modern look and feel. This was a great find for my family of 4. I have not had to clean it yet so I am hopeful that it cleans easily but so far so good!
My wife said her coffee tasted way better then the electric one I bought. I did not believe her, after all we got it for the road trip. To my surprise it did taste great, heck the bitterness was gone. The design says it all and yes you have to pump it manually but for great coffee what is a little easy exercise for great coffee We are now using it and pretty much dont use our electric one any longer. Thanks for making my wife happy
Every single one of my friends have told me that this is the best cup of coffee theyve ever had. Most of them have much more expensive espresso makers than I do. Now almost all of them own this one it heats up very quickly it is super easy to adjust the strength of your coffee as you want it. No plastic, no K/Cups or any harmful things to throw away! I even gave my Italian grandma a cup, fyi she makes her espresso on the stove with a percolator, she said it was aming.
But its a great toaster. The screen is actually a bunch of stenciled iconic photo transparencies and texts with some kind of light source behind the glass. Its far from an LED Display touch screen. The seller tried to Zz it up again to make a sale and I just needed one big enough to toast my Texas wide bread and bagels and not burn them and be able too pop/up when the time expires This is important to me. Yes you could say my former toaster was 10 years + expired and old. I am not sure what toasters can do nowadays. They put Wi/Fi access on anything but they didnt. If I could have gotten one 3 years ago that would have helped since Ive been burning toast due to all my toasters costing no more than Twenty dollars it was time for an upgrade. By upgrade I mean the front panel shows you how much time you have left and how dark the toast will get. (and remembers to pop/up every time). Otherwise there is absolutely nothing I can attest for other than its a brand new toaster (4 slot). Its rather wide which is good. That makes cleaning easier but not so great since it barely fits into my humble kitchen. My only hope is that it lasts years.
Ive used this toaster just one day but I love it. I put my English Muffin in on 4 and thought it too lightly toasted so I just put it back on 2 and it was perfect and so much faster than my old toaster. I love the touch screen. This is a bit expensive but Im so happy with it. It is easy to use.
This is a versatile toaster for making 4 pieces of toasts/bagels/toaster pastry/and/or similar at a time. There are 2 separate controls / 1 for each side, over 2 slots, of the toaster. This way only one side is used when toasting 1 or 2 items or both sides can be operated independently should people want different things such as a combination of 2 pieces of toast on one side and 2 toasted bagels on the other. I think thats pretty neat. This toaster has an flat panel of lights on one side. When the toaster is plugged in the on/off switch lights up. When that switch is pressed so that the toaster is on, all of the lights appear. There are 6 choices for setting the toaster and the progress is shown by the lights. A nice feature is the user can lift the lever at any time and check on the toast and then push down to return to toasting. Theres also a cancel selection on each side. Should the toast not be dark enough, theres an add 30 seconds selection as well. Other selections include bagel, defrost, reheat, and one side has a selection for toasting only one side in the slot (this slot of marked on the top of the toaster). Ive only used this toaster for making toast. My main reason for ordering this toaster is for making a lot of toast as quickly as possible for Thanksgiving and Christmas for making homemade dressing. The first time each side of the toaster is used, dont put anything in it. Both sides were smoky the first time I tried this toaster. I had the toast selection on 3 on one side and 4 on the other. After the first use on each side, there has been no more smoke. The plug in is 2/pronged. My rating is 5 stars for a unique looking, easy to use toaster that not only can toast 4 items at a time but can accommodate 2 different selections at a time.
I replaced my old Sunbeam toaster with the Toaster. The Sunbeam was a very basic 4 slice toaster with darkness setting, bagel, and a cancel button. It was very straightforward and no frills. When I pulled this out of the box my son was mesmerized and an onslaught of questions started. Where are the buttons , How does it work , and Momma, its kind of like a spaceship, huh. Hes my little helper when it comes to packages and testing things out. We pulled it out and set it on the counter and plugged it in. On the face of the toaster the only thing that lit up on the touchscreen was a little power symbol that said ON/OFF. My little guy asked if he could be the one to push the light, generally I dont allow him to use anything plugged in but figured I was standing next to him so itd be fine. He pressed the light and the toasters LED display came to life. The Toaster was indeed a spaceship and much fancier than we had ever seen. Each side has its own set of the same touch buttons. Bagel, defrost, reheat,30 seconds longer, and cancel. The left side has one additional button called The One for a single slice of toast. The touch screen is very responsive. The minute or darkness levels range from very lightly toasted to just about burnt. Our favorite level is 3 and makes perfectly toasted even coloredwell.toast. The look of the toaster is classy and well designed. My son is now on a toast kick and wakes up asking for spaceship toast. Surprisingly very happy with this new kitchen appliance and I hope it lasts for years to come!
I have tried several from and I have finally chosen The Espresso Machine 15 bars. I feel relieved and pleased. The plus of this machine is the frother. The other ones too watery. The can form a nice stiff froth (if you want it) when you add Carmel drizzle. Stiff is better. Plus I like (Ive decided) that you turn off the espresso drip whenever you want. I didnt like that before but I like it now. You can choose how bold you want your coffee to taste. The other ones its either one or two cups and it auto shuts off. This is my 4th try of machines and I love it. Plus the base is wider so you can release steam and it doesnt go everywhere. I love that too!!! Yay! My search is over!!!

Made in China. Pricey. Consider a toaster oven.

Great Choices for Toasting Up to 4 Items at a Time
