Simple toaster
I recently spent a little more on a toaster from a name brand. That toaster broke within about 6 months. I decided to give this Amazon basics a try. It’s a nice unit. It’s good looking with a very compact design. Toasts my bread evenly and seems to do it quicker. For the price I’d recommend this for anyone looking for a simple budget toaster.

Great!!!!
We never used toasters before and I had to get one because my child loves Ezekiel bread. I thought I would try this. This is fantastic! We don’t do anything fancy. For my son between level 2-3 is just the perfect toastiness. Also, it’s super fast! I’ve put a generic all you can eat bagel in there and it’s great as well. Super pleased! Don’t need pay for overly expensive humdinger of a toaster. This works just fine 👍🏻👍🏻

Compact size with different modes
Pros: Matte body, not shiny like other appliances that show every fingerprint. Doesn’t take up much counter space. Nice crumb tray that’s easy to empty. Bagel mode works well. I haven’t yet tried the frozen one.Cons: Wish the cord came out the back instead of the side. Doesn’t toast evenly. You have to flip the bread around to toast the other side more because the middle heat element seems to work better than the two on the sides. I noticed it toasts better if (once it’s heated), you do a second batch.Summary: All in all, a nice looking basic toaster that may cost you a little time to ‘get just right.’ Good price.

Love This Toaster! Be Sure To Run 3 To 4 Empty Toast Cycles Before First Use As Instructed.
I cook and bake extensively, all of our meals are eaten at home with food I prepare. Our old toaster was on its last leg. Purchased this Amazon Basics 2 Slice Extra Wide Slot Toaster as a replacement. Love it! Everything about this toaster exceeded my expectations.- Very durable construction and 2 extra wide slots for thicker bread, bagels, or waffles. The black insulating material around the toaster really helps keep the sides of the toaster cooled when toasting.- Easy to use with 6 shade settings, a bagel setting, a frozen setting, and a cancel button. Crumb tray is easy to remove.- Does a spectacular job of toasting (Pic of a toasted slice of my homemade sourdough sandwich loaf bread attached.)Important Before First Use: Be certain to follow the “Before First Use” instructions in the Product Manual before toasting for the first time. (Pic attached.) You need to run the toaster empty for 1 cycle on shade 6, and 2 or 3 cycles on shade 4 (I did 3) to removed any residual manufacturing residue from the inside of the toaster. (This is normal for a new toaster.) As stated in the instructions, I -did- get a bit of smoke at the start of the first shade 6 cycle, nothing in other 3 cycles. So be sure to have the toaster in a well ventilated area when doing this prep, such as by an open window, or under a stove hood that is on and venting out.A terrific value, too. I highly recommend this product.

Compact and Efficient Toaster – A Great Addition to My Kitchen!
I recently purchased this toaster, and it’s been such a fantastic addition to my kitchen! The sleek, compact design fits perfectly on my countertop without taking up too much space, and the black and stainless steel finish gives it a modern look that blends well with my other appliances.One of my favorite features is the multiple toasting settings. Whether I’m making perfectly golden toast, warming frozen waffles, or reheating bagels, this toaster handles everything effortlessly. The “defrost” and “reheat” buttons are particularly useful for mornings when I’m rushing and grabbing something quick from the freezer.The toasting process is even and consistent, which was a big deal for me. I’ve used other toasters in the past that burned one side while barely toasting the other, but this one delivers great results every time. The adjustable browning control dial is easy to use and allows me to customize how toasted I want my bread—perfect for picky eaters in the house!Cleanup is also a breeze thanks to the removable crumb tray. I just pull it out, give it a quick wipe, and it’s good as new.Overall, this toaster is reliable, easy to use, and stylish. It’s made my breakfast routine smoother, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality toaster that doesn’t break the bank!

An ok cheap toaster
Pros: its cheap, it’s small (I dont have a lot of counter space so this is a pro to me), bagel setting is a nice feature, and the slots fit most bread slices in terms of thickness and length.Cons: The smell is awful, like burning chemicals, not super strong but bad enough I always check to make sure the stove isn’t leaking gas. The toasting is uneven (passable, just annoying). Also, when I press the lever to toast my bread, I have to push my bread down manually with my fingers to get it all the way down as the lever leaves the bread sticking out an inch or two.Overall it’s not an awful toaster, its decent for the price, but I feel like if I had spent $5-$10 more on a different toaster, I wouldn’t have as many issues. Basically, so long as it doesn’t die, it works for my current situation but I won’t have it for much longer after that.

Works like a toaster should work
The toaster holds two pieces of bread and turns them into toast with complete consistency, in my experience. It doesn’t smell like burnt toast while it toasts or take a long time to toast, either. I would recommend this product to everyone.

Toaster not long lasting
This toaster is simple, easy to use and worked as expected up until it didn’t. This toaster was only used once in a while perhaps a couple times a month or so. It lasted only 5 years, I would expect more life out of a toaster not used very often. The toaster is light in weight and easy to use. The temperature controls proved to work effectively. However the inside heating coils collapsed rendering the toaster unusable.

LO BUENO:Bueno, bonito, barato.. bien aislado contra el calor. Botones funcionales. Genial capacidad para bagels, congelados o ambiente.LO MALO:El tostado es disparejo, por ejemplo se tuesta a nivel 3, queda perfecto de un lado, del otro un poco más tostado. En otra ocasión, en el mismo nivel 3, se tostó todavía más de un lado, quedando un poquito carbonizado.La perilla de nivel de tostado es MUY difícil de ver, literal tengo que prender la lámpara para ver en qué nivel está, ya que además se mueve muy fácil.En comparación con otros tostadores, tuesta más bien lento, entonces el pan queda super crujiente, lo cual es bueno o malo, depende cómo te guste.Sin embargo por el precio, lo volvería a comprar, solo considerando los pormenores de su uso.
