Krups FEM2B 2-Slice Toaster, Black & Silver Review

Krups FEM2B 2-Slice Toaster, Black and Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After having gone through several toasters that looked sleek, but couldn't toast worth a darn -- let alone set off the smoke alarm -- I turned to Consumer Products for guidance (11/04). We picked their number 2 because it looked functional without too many needless gimmicks, whereas the brand name of #1 reminded us too much of the toaster that burnt the bread and toasted its electronics. Also, rather than spending over ten bucks on a "Small Applicance Contract", we tossed in three more bucks to get the number-four-rated toaster as a backup should the Krups ever fail. The toaster yields a nice evenly browned slice of bread or toaster waffle without beeping, dancing or burning up the kitchen. Sorry to learn that others encountered uneven browning -- we are delighted with the Krups, and it looks good too.

Rival 2-Slice Toaster - White Review

Rival 2-Slice Toaster - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After 25+ years my cheap old Black & Decker toaster died, so I was looking for another simple basic toaster that cost little, at least until I could look at all the reviews and choose the right toaster for my needs, I decided to take a chance on this cheap Rival, I've been using it every day for about 6 months... it works OK, does the job I need for standard bread and English muffins, I've not tried bagels but this does NOT have a bagel setting so I'm guessing it will not be good for those... this is called "cool touch" and it is, but if you're careless you can still burn yourself, but there is a toast "lifter" that should make toast easier to remove.

It has wide slots that adjust for thick English muffins to normal sandwich bread, and has a simple "toast shade" control, but you have to learn to set this properly for normal bread versus English muffins (muffins are set about twice the setting used for sandwich bread)... there is a "cancel" button that has always worked for me when I forgot and left the toast shade control too dark, the manual warns to use this "cancel" button instead of just lifting the "toast lever" since lifting it may damage the device... bread is "almost" evenly toasted, though one end of English muffins are always toasted a bit darker than the other end, but it's acceptable for my needs... has removable crumb tray that's easy to clean.

This is a simple basic toaster that costs little, so if your needs are simple this might work for you, however there is one problem for me, most of the bread I buy is just over 5 inches long, and I've always been able to toast it with no problems using my old toaster, but the "bread slot" on this toaster is just LESS than 5 inches, which means my bread will not fit unless I cut off about .25 inch, this is mostly a nuisance but I'm looking for another toaster that will accept my regular bread length... for the low price this toaster does an OK job for many people, though there are definite things lacking if you need more features.

Oster Retractable Cord Toaster Review

Oster Retractable Cord Toaster
Average Reviews:

(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.

Oster 6307 Inspire 2-Slice Toaster, Red Review

Bought this toaster less than two months ago and it's already broken. The control buttons (one of the reasons why we bought it) are not functioning, neither is the darkness control knob. Once it's put into the toast position, it does not shut off, you have to push up the lever manually. My son put in some Toaster Swirls only to set off the smoke alarm. This is the second time a product (a rice cooker)from this brand has broken within months of purchase. I'm just going to avoid Oster at all costs in the future.

Cuisinart Classic Brushed Stainless Toasters Review

Cuisinart Classic Brushed Stainless Toasters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't think there's a toaster made that is perfect for everyones taste. For years I'd use a toaster oven with a toast timed setting because I could not only do more than two slices, but I could usually get even browning. Now I have this, and have had it for nearly two years. I bought it here on the Zon. One of those kitchen specials they frequently have giving me a good price overall.
The problem with toasters is that not only do some of them vary because of cheaply made or defective thermostats (trust me you ain't paying for a furnace quality control here), but because of the bread. The key to toaster is know your bread. Standard Sunbeam or Wonder bread needs about a 3 on this thing, premium breads do well at 3.5, muffins using the bagel button and so on. Your's may toast a bit different. Realize the science of toasting has to do with both the moisture and fat content of the bread or bagel, or muffing being toasted.
Dry Bialy bread has little fat content and little moisture but takes a 5 or six to get it toasted. Dry grocery store brand standard white will toast using a 1.5 to two setting. It has fat content and no water, probably the best combo to get a fast toast browning. You will also see a big difference in one or two slices, since the overall heat goes up in the toaster a lower setting is typically needed when doing two slices at once.
For features this has a number of simple but useful items. The slide out crumb tray in the back makes for easy cleaning. The button array contains not only the standard toast setting, but settings for defrost and reheat. This helps overcome the problem with stand alone toasters. You need to remember to dial down a little on repeated toastings. My toaster oven used to sense what temperature it was and then adjust the toast time, even though the setting never changed. I know that because it had a digital time readout. It first confused me when I did repeated toastings and the time would decline by maybe fifty percent or more. I noticed later that it always had the same time when cool and much less when it was warmed up. Toasters typically don't do that, so you must. There is also a bagel button which works well on English muffins too.
Additionally I like the feature that allows you to "pull up" on the set bar to remove "short" slices of bread after toasting. One of the old household dangers of toast was people putting in metal knives to remove toast, and getting shocked. Here you just raise it up, and then pluck it out. I toast almost daily, so this has held up two years without any complaints, so I'd say its durable. It comes in colors, but I like the all stainless model, it shines up so nice.

We bought this to replace a Rowenta toaster that was also long and narrow, but never worked well. Our choices were limited as it needed to fit in a narrow space behind our cooktop.
This looks lovely in the kitchen and toasts evenly. The variety of settings works well for various breads, although it will take some practice with different bread types to see which setting is best for each. The default setting is fine for standard bread. Crank it up for bagels or rye bread.
In response to another review, the toaster doesn't wait 10 seconds before starting to toast. It gives you 10 seconds to change the setting after putting the bread in, but it begins to heat right away.
We are very satisfied with this toaster compared to the four times more expensive Rowenta that was horrible!

This toaster also goes by the product name Hamilton Beach or Proctor-Silex. The K at the end of the model number means K Mart. It contains the Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex T39 heating elements that draw 780 watts. If you want a simple toaster that doesn't throw toast out of the top and if it breaks you trash it then this model should be considered. It has a traditional world war two look. It toasts both sides of bread equally. It is very simple to operate. The instruction says to "Unplug from outlet when not in use . . ." My dear wife does exactly that. The instruction also says to not to toast Pop Tarts in the toaster. What's with that?

What is wrong with the toasters they're manufacturing today? This was the second brand of toaster I had to return - also returned a Black & Decker - both would only toast one side! Seems like they'd have it right by now. I finally bought one of the refurbished Cuisinarts (an $80 toaster for $30), thinking I could put a spotlight on it and use it as a display piece if it didn't work, but the Cuisinart is a great toaster! I guess you get what you pay for (unless you buy refurb ;)

KitchenAid KMTT200 Toaster, 2 Slice Review

Average Reviews:

I have the all steel version.
Pros: Very solid construction. Although is quite large, it is good looking and gives you the feeling of something that will last a long time. Very even toasting, works great, and the outside stays totally cool. After several cycles it does eventually get warm, but not hot.
I like it a lot, except for one thing:
Negative: The slots are just a little too short. It fits only the regular Mrs Baird's type of bread loaf.
If you try to toast any other type of shorter and wider bread, it will not fit in the slots as they are about 1/2 inch shorter than the slice of bread. If you look at it, it is obvious that there was enough room to extend the slots at least another inch in front. The design team at KitchenAid must be eating one type of bread only, otherwise they would have run into this problem (or perhaps they don't use this toaster).
I wanted to return it because of this, but I already threw away the box (I guess this proves I am a moron), so I am stuck with it.

Beware! Once you've selected the "shade" of how you want the toast, and depress the lever, the only way you can get it to stop earlier is to unplug it!! I hate that aspect. I keep my bread in the freezer, so it takes longer to toast. The first time I used it, I set it for too dark. The toast started burning. I tried pushing up on the lever like you would to most toasters, but nada! I had to unplug it to make it stop. Very poor design. Other than that, I like it. It's not only wide enough for bagels, but long enough for Branola or Orowheat bread, which not all
toasters are. I plug this into a surge surpressor now, so if it needs to come out early, I trip the surpressor, and the toast pops up.

OK, I fell for the cute accessories and cheery look of this toaster, plus its low price. (Why should a toaster, which works according to a simple principle, be expensive?) Silly me. It is so lightweight that it tips to one side when you push down on the lever. But the main problem is that it doesn't toast evenly. A single piece of sliced whole wheat bread comes out with gradations of toasted-ness . . . from pale to burnt. Also, the slots do not accommodate longer pieces of bread. Oh, and the toast literally pops! up, halfway out of the toaster, as if auditioning for a role in a sitcom. Maybe I should give it another star just for entertainment value.

Housed in white with tangerine-colored accents, this 700-watt two-slice toaster offers a cheerful way to start the day. Simply add one or two slices of bread, lower the lever, and turn the browning-control knob from one to seven depending on the shade desired. Toast will pop up automatically when it's ready to be slathered with butter and jam. The appliance also provides three simple push-button controls--cancel to end the toasting cycle at any time, defrost to toast previously frozen items, and reheat to warm up previously toasted items. Other thoughtful details include a cool-touch exterior, automatic shut-off, a high-lift lever for smaller bread pieces, cord storage, and a slide-out crumb tray for easy cleaning. As an extra bonus, a colorfully striped bread basket and two matching table mats come included. The two-slice toaster measures 10-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
