Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We had a Krumps toaster that didn't toast evenly or consistantly. When I saw the "infrared" toaster to toast quickly and the low price we figured we'd try it. We like trying new stuff. Well, we just returned it.
It does have large slots. So wide you can watch the toast burn. We never tried anything but white bread. The "infrared" is two tightly wound (1/4") heating coils on each side of the slots, with reflectors to spread the heat. The two coils amazingly produced even heating over the entire surface of a slice of bread if it's in the center of the slot.
It did toast a little bit faster about 80 seconds for med. to dark toast. What we didn't think of, was that if you toast quickly with really hot elements, the highest outer surfaces of the bread will burn (producing smoke), the inner crevasses will be brown and the inside of the slice will be soft and cool. It takes -time- under heat to gently heat a slice of bread giving it a firm texture and toasted flavor without burning the outside surface. Although we didn't try bagels, I would suspect it would toast the surface without heating the inside.
We found it was inconsistant in the darkness of the toast for any given setting even when starting from a cool toaster.
I gave it two stars for it's price, even toasting and good looks.
