Title: Not digitized, nice!
Review: The best thing about this, in my opinion, is that each side has its own setting for toast and it’s NOT digitized. It has real knobs so I can choose a setting between the main number settings. If I want to set my toast just a smidge past level 5, I can do it and the machine won’t stop me. It does leave grill marks on the toast, so if you want your toast 100% even, perhaps this isn’t the way to go. It looks pretty, and it doesn’t bother me at all. I find that when the bread toasts, both sides get toasted and the inside stays slightly soft (depending on how high the setting is of course). High settings get it various levels of crispiness, losing that soft center. My son makes his toast a perfect golden brown and he remembers the setting he needs to achieve that every time. There’s a bagel setting for toasting bagels. It toasts one side of your bagel and not the other. So when you slice a bagel, it will toast only the sliced side, or only the rounded side, depending how you decide to put your bagel in. In my house, we much prefer a completely toasted bagel, so after the first few days, we stopped using this function. The function works well, we just don’t care for it.We make toast in our house at least once a day, and it took about a week for the new appliance chemical smell dissipated entirely. I think that’s reasonable. The crumb trays open from the back, which is fairly common in toasters. It also has an emergency POP button that you can push if you need to eject your toast in a hurry. There is one on both sides of the toaster, to eject each side as needed. The button is located in the center of the setting knob, so some may miss it if they’re not searching for it. Overall, I’m very satisfied.We’ve been using it for about a month (I think?), and we’ve used it pretty hard without any issues. I should also say, I hesitated to buy this toaster because of the chrome/stainless steel finish to it. I really can’t stand wiping fingerprints all the time. But actually, I find I really don’t have to buff it much at all. I wipe it down sometimes because we use it a lot, but never for fingerprints. I really like this toaster! It’s simple, looks nice, and I can choose the exact setting I want. Five stars for sure.

Title: Love it
Review: Works exactly as promised. Wide slots, accurate toasting based on the number on the dial, lightweight, quality material (no plastic to melt!), and easy to use. Worth the money. Highly recommend.

Title: Nice looking, works as expected
Review: This is a pretty nice looking toaster. Looks good with other stainless steel appliances so you can leave it out on the counter. Makes toast like it should with various settings for dark or light toast.

Title: Excellent buy!
Review: We got this toaster after having had one for 20 years. Even though this is just a toaster, we had a bit of trepidation in getting a new one. He get used to the quirks of a 20-year-old toaster. Holding it down a little longer, knowing when to pull it back up because the dial doesn’t work as well as it used to, etc.I was a little concerned after I read some of the reviews about the way that it browns the toast evenly unevenly not at all etc. However, it works like a charm. We have used this for naan and toast bread so far. Even oversized bread like rye works in here very well. On ours, it seems like there is a little bit of a point between not getting enough browning and getting too much. But once you know where that is, you can adjust it the way that you want to.I really like the the cancel button in case you’ve done something. With my old toaster I had to flip it up and work with it that way. This time I just press a button and everything is swell.It is a very substantial machine. I don’t mind as some reviewers have pointed out that the crumb catcher is in the back. I don’t leave my toaster out on the countertop anyway so the look of it didn’t really matter. It’s more the function.If you don’t want to spend a lot on a toaster, buy this one.We had bought a Frigidaire retro looking one before this one, and we had to return it because it didn’t work. So kudos to these people for actually building something that works out of the box.

Review: Simply wanted a toaster that was 4 slice and focused on even toasting not any other fancy bells and whistles.After reading review this one fit the bill.Got it for a great price, and when it arrived I was skeptical. From a build perspective it seemed fragile with the thin metal skin, but then again … it’s a toaster.Once put in use we found it to be a great toaster — we get even toasting and after a couple tries have the dials down pat to where we like it and figured out bagel setting.That’s all we use it for .. not for warming stuff or anything outside toasting.For that it works fine, has all the features we wanted/needed, and looks OK to boot.Longevity … we will see.

Review: It’s an OK toaster for the price. Pros: Nice look, reasonable price, easy and functional settings, not a flimsy product at all.Cons: Mine doesn’t toaste evenly, one side is darker than the other side. It’s not a fast toaster either, you need to wait 2+ minutes on 2.5 setting. The steel body gets finger print stains easily. If you’re using all 4 slots, it’s consuming 1400w. On a regular household plug, you can’t use it at the same time with coffee maker or kettle.Long story short, it’s an average product with average price.

Review: I bought this after reading rtings’s reviews and I’m quite satisfied. Compared to the toaster I used before, the bread is toasted more evenly throughout.
