Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've tried several toasters that were substantially more expensive and have determined that this basic, no frills Proctor Silex does a much better job of toasting bread. In fact I've done lots of research and have learned that all of the button functions on more expensive toasters are actually not necessary. For example: Cancel Button - not necessary, you simply lift up the lever to stop the toasting. Defrost Button - not necessary, all it does is lengthen the toasting time, so all you need to do is turn up the shade selector which does the exact same thing. Reheat Button - not necessary, just turn down the shade selector to the light setting and it will warm previously toasted bread without over-browning it. Bagel Button - there are 2 types of bagel functions out there, one toasts just one side of the bagel (which I don't like), and the other type toasts both sides and extends the toasting time (my preference). So for a bagel just turn up the shade selector which will extend the toasting time.
Having said all of this, I highly recommend the Proctor Silex 22608. It toasts bread evenly, and when using 2 slices, both sides of the bread are fairly uniform. It's versatile too as the slots adjust well for thin bread, thicker bread, english muffins, small bagels, and even larger bagels fit easily. Another nice feature is that it uses just 1 moving guide in each slot to keep the bread vertical. As a result the bread is not pinched together tightly between 2 metal guides so there are less grooves and white lines on the sides of the bread when it's done. It almost looks like it was done in a toaster oven. And the chrome cabinet with black side trim looks great on the kitchen counter.
I read where Consumer Reports rated this toaster #3 and I can see why. So save your money and get back to basics with the Proctor Silex 22608 !
