(More customer reviews)Ugg...this toaster replaced my awesome, expensive chrome toaster, which randomly stopped holding down the toast. After some quick scanning of the aisle at Target, I bought this mainly on the basis of low price ($17), and the retractable cord. Now I just can't wait to replace this janky thing.
Pros: Retractable cord is well-placed, and seems to have a nicely built mechanism. Bagel setting actually allows some toasting of the outside of the bagel, which is good. Price is reasonable and fair (if the cons weren't there).
Cons: Toast comes out blackened and burned on the bottom, but warm and barely toasted at the top. No amount of playing with the settings will alleviate this, even on the lowest setting. Mini bagels are especially ruined in this toaster. I have worked around this problem by hovering over the toaster waiting, but that's not exactly an awesome activity. The reason I bought a new one was to stop having to do this, so it kind of wastes my $$ and defeats the purpose of the new toaster. Lowering lever is kind of weak and doesn't always hold the toast down on the first, second, or third try.
In all, I'd skip this one and pick out a better toaster. I'd be returning it this week if I hadn't thrown the box away...

With its clean, compact design, this easy-to-use toaster features extra-wide slots that can accommodate anything from thick slices of homemade bread to bagels, buns, English muffins, frozen waffles, and more. Simply insert the item to be toasted and press down on the stay-cool lever. The unit's seven-shade browning control allows for selecting the shade desired, from light to dark, while its mid-cycle cancel function can be used to end the toasting cycle at any time. It also provides a "bagel" button, which warms the outside and toasts the cut side of bagels. Other highlights include dual auto-adjusting bread guides for even toasting, advanced toasting technology for consistent results, a toast lift that elevates bread for easy retrieval, and a safety anti-jam function that automatically shuts the power off in case food gets stuck. Even more, the toaster provides a retractable power cord, and its removable crumb tray cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Taking up minimal space on the counter, the two-slice toaster measures approximately 12-1/5 by 7-1/2 by 8-2/3 inches.
