Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read previous reviews of this and other toasters that I had considered purchasing. I have always had good experiences with Krups, Kitchen Aid, Braun, and Cuisinart products-- in that order. At home, we really enjoy and have had great experiences and reliability from the first two brands in particular.
Many of today's toasters seem more like small ovens, given the amount of wattage output they can deliver. In the case of the toaster, I chose the Krups 4-slice toaster. (The Kitchen Aid was a bit too long for the small amount of counter space that I have in my apartment's kitchen). Both have very wide slots, seemingly designed for bagels and frozen breakfast treats.
I noted that some reviewers had complained that the Krups does not toast evenly. I have used a number of brand name toasters, and one could say the same for all-- especially those with the wider slots.
What I do like about the Krups is that it does do a great job in positioning and holding bread evenly between the heating elements in each slot, which in turn is helpful in evenly toasted bread. Whether the toasting is even depends, I found, on the freshness and size of the bread; also, you should experiment with the heat settings, to determine which is best for you. Larger loaf sizes will bend slightly to one side or the other in the slots; hence, I do not always obtain even toasting of these bread slices.
I am very satisfied with the results that I obtain from the Krups toaster, and recommend it without reservation.

The Krups 4 slice toaster has 1600 watts of power and two independent sets of controls. Each chamber is designed to quickly brown the surface of the bread and retain the soft texture within. The integrated warming tray is easy to clean, removable and dishwasher safe. It quickly warms breads, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods without drying them out. The 8- setting browning selector accommodates all toasting preferences accurately and consistently at all levels. The 3- position metal control lever turns right to toast and left to raise the bread for easy one- handed removal.Bagel function toasts bagels from the cut side while warming the crust while the defrost function warms frozen bread through then toasts. The stop eject button halts the toasting cycle at the touch of a button. Comes with 1-year warranty.

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.

Sharp R-55TS Warm & Toasty Toaster/Microwave Review

In the aesthetics department this item is top notch for anyone going for a stainless steel look in their kitchen. Brushed steel on front, with a black glass window - black metal on sides. Surprisingly, this is more important that I would have thought.
It microwaves well, though at 650W. The controls are convienent, and fast - with a single "one minute" button to save time on reheats. Seems to cook very evenly.
A nice function is the ability to turn the sound off completely - ridding your home of one source of beeps and chirps.
The oven works well for cooking. The toaster works surprisingly well, but it takes close to 3 minutes for a slice of bread. In the toast department, I'd recommend a stand-alone drop-in style toaster.
You can combine cooking and microwaving in steps (thaw then cook, not both at once).

KitchenAid Black 2-Slot Toaster 4-slice
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
KitchenAid hurts its brand name for each day this product is on the market. Here's the good news: The soft rise feature seems to work well for me; toast is easy to remove. The bagel function works well for bagels and hamburger buns. I have to change the darkness setting for different bread types (sandwich slices, buns, bagels, etc.), but I expect that, so it's ok. The digital setting knob is convenient because you don't have to guesstimate the correct setting. The bad news: The thing won't toast consistently. Almost every day, I wake up and load the toaster with two refrigerated bagels (4 sliced halves). It's always a cold start in the morning. I set it to brown on #6. The results range from moderately overdone to no browning at all. There's no excuse for it. As another reviewer has said, it also doesn't cook very evenly with 1 or 3 slices. Evidently, the radiant heat from the opposite side hits only one edge of the single slice and overcooks just that side. If you stick a single slice in the center of the slot, it gets even worse, because both edges will be overdone, while the center is underdone. I have to turn the toaster down one notch if I plan on running a second batch of toast. The Even-Heat System is bogus. I give this toaster an A for effort and an F for execution.

Breakfast is, after all, the most important meal of the day, so shouldn't it be treated with respect? Even in the dark of a mid-winter's morn you'll be able to see what you're doing thanks to the lighted control panel. Bagels? Frozen strudel? No problem, this toaster is designed to hold, toast, warm, and reheat.

I wanted a basic but reliable toaster oven. An older Black and Decker version we loved finally gave in and I purchased this one after reading one positive review. I absolutely hate this oven. The timer slips and stops clicking but does not turn the over off. It is a fire hazard. A few times the oven kept toasting and I finally noticed the smoke and burning smell. I usually use the "light" or "medium" setting but one of us has to literally stand next to the oven while toasting to manually turn it off. I wish I returned it right away.

Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance offers a large capacity with a curved interior that can fit a 9-inch pizza or toast up to four slices of bread at a time. Use the oven for convection baking (a fan circulates the heat), as well as broiling, toasting, and keeping foods warm until they're ready to be served. The unit features a quartz heating element and 1500 watts of power to ensure fast, professional results, plus it comes with a broiling rack with upper and lower rack slots for added versatility. Three user-friendly control knobs make the oven simple to operate. The top knob adjusts the temperature up to 450 degrees F, the middle knob selects the function (convection bake, broil, toast, or keep warm), and the bottom knob allows for setting the timer up to 60 minutes or choosing continuous "on", as well as selecting the shade setting when toasting bread or bagels. Other highlights include a see-through glass door, a convenient signal bell, and a slide-out crumb tray for quick cleanup. The sleek-looking toaster oven measures approximately 18-2/3 by 11-3/5 by 13-2/3 inches.

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.

Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Broiler Review

Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Broiler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this oven for several months now. I missed an opportunity to by it as a factory refurbished unit, and ended up buying it new here. Initially, I wanted to hold out for a convection oven with a larger capacity, but the reality of unit size and lack of availability of a larger oven with similar features convinced me to by this model.
I think I made the right choice. It is large enough to bake and broil a wide variety of things without having to resort to the "big oven", it has accurate, even temp control, and enough features and custom settings that I am still discovering new and better ways to use it.
It is a pretty large oven, does everything advertsed in best of class fashion, it's very easy to clean, and looks "right" no matter how your kitchen is outfitted. Even simple tasks like making toast are handled better than any regular toaster or cheap toaster oven that I have tried. When toasting bread or bagles, the first part of the cycle brings the bread up to teperature without bringing the heat elements up to "toasting" tepmerature. Towards the end of the cycle, the elements glow bright red, and toast both surfaces very evenly, and to taste. The result is perfectly toasted bread, bagles, pizza slices, etc, without cold centers. The cycle can easily be tailored for your favorite bread. Perfect.
Before I forget, someone posted a "review" here that really was a question about what temp the oven is capable of. The oven can also broil, so that would indicate that it can reach high temps, and in fact, it can. The "bake" setting allows you to select a temerature on the display up to 500 degrees. Most any cooking technique that can be done with a quality conventional oven can be done with this gem. And more. When I first started using the oven, I checked it's indicated temp with my electronic thermometer that I use for calibrating industrial sensors. In every case, the indicated air temp was within a few degrees of reality. My full sized oven wasn't anywhere near that close when it was new.
Broiling, baking, defrosting, and reheating leftovers are also given the benefit of digital control over the cooking cycle. Even the crumb tray was designed for effective operation, and ease of cleaning. I have used a number of dedicated convection ovens, and more than a few toaster ovens over the years, but this one is in a class by itself. Even if you grew up with the microwave, this oven won't gather dust on your countertop.
Update... July 12, 2005. This oven is used most every day, and has proved to be a solid performer. As time passed, I have used pretty much all of the functions of the oven, and learned to customize settings to please me along the way. I have not had a single problem with the oven since the day it arrived, and being easy to keep clean, it still looks factory new (when I clean it). It is about as large as I care to have on the countertop, and for bigger jobs, I simply use the main kitchen oven. For most anything else, this is the oven that gets the call. I still rate five stars.

I've used this toaster daily for a couple of weeks now, and the only thing it has going for it is looks and price. I read Amazon reviews for everything else, don't know why I didn't in this case.
The first problem is that it doesn't toast evenly. Some of the "coils" don't seem to get hot (red), so there are bands in your toast that aren't browned. It has to be turned up very high to get the whole piece, then the rest is so hard it's unpleasant. Plus, that makes the cooking time much longer. Secondly, when the toast is finally done, the bread doesn't come out far enough so that for even a regular sized slice of bread your fingers have to touch the hot toaster to get the piece out.
I absolutely do not recommend this toaster.

Don't be tempted by the $40 price. This is an OK toaster at best. Using one side works as an average single toaster, but using two sides just doubles the toasting time. The heating elements in mine are no longer lighting up fully after only one year. No crumb tray - just take it outside and shake it upside down. It's sad that this had to be built and packed in China, shipped all the way here, then become pretty much useless after one year. My previous toaster - now being used again - has lasted for over 40 years...

Average Reviews:

This is an excellent toaster. We went through a series of cheapo toasters from Walmart or wherever and I could never get good results. Was it too much to ask that both sides of the bread be toasted evenly from top to bottom with one cycle of the toaster? You think that would be a no brainer but apparently it's difficult for the el'cheapo brands to accomplish. This Dualit toaster gets the job done though. The bagel setting is great too. It toasts the cut face of the bagel perfectly while not burning the rest. I can toast pretty much everything between settings 2 and 3. Why it goes all the way to 8 I can't imagine. Perhaps if I need to start a fire on a short time delay I can stick some pop-tarts in there on 8 and then run away.
Anyway, you can do worse than buy this toaster. I highly recommend it.

KitchenAid 2-Slice, Two-Slot Toaster Review

KitchenAid 2-Slice, Two-Slot  Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the only toaster on the market that has a differential heating button (hotter on the inside heaters, lesser on the outside heaters) to be used only for bagels. The cut side of the bagel (inside) will toast nicely, whereas the uncut side (outside) will only warm. The bagel comes out perfect, not rock hard which is often the case when it's been toasted on both sides.
My only disappointment with this toaster is how it toasts regular white bread/English Muffins. Since the bread is thin, it is held too far away from the heating elements, and it usually takes two attempts to get the bread actually toasted to anything more than just a light brown. If you want your toast darker, you'll have to adjust your setting, and then toast again.
If you are looking for a superb toaster for your bagels, this is the one for you. But if you don't eat toasted bagels that often, you would be better off with a more traditional toaster, without the extra wide slats.

West Bend 78122 Performance Series 2-Slice Infrared Toaster Review

West Bend 78122 Performance Series 2-Slice Infrared Toaster
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.

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.

Sunbeam 3916 Heritage Series 2-Slice Toaster, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
REVISION (11/25/07): I bought this toaster over a year ago and I'm surprised to read all the terrible recent reviews. This toaster has worked like a dream for me over the past year. It toasts bread perfectly and evenly. Zero complaints, I love it.
MY REVIEW: My old toaster worked fine, but it was hideous white plastic that was ridiculously hard to clean. So I got on Amazon to check out the selection. This Sunbeam toaster caught my attention right away because the price was right and it's a replica of my Grandma's old workhorse of a toaster that functioned like a champ.
I was giddy when my new toaster arrived and it was even better looking than I hoped. It's lighter weight than my Grandma's old Sunbeam, but it's 40+ years later, so what do you expect?
The first thing I toasted was bread for actual toast. I pushed down on the lever and the bread wouldn't stay down. I immediately thought my toaster was a piece of junk and broken. I fiddled around and figured out that you have press down gently on the lever for it to stay down. (My old toaster was so ghetto that you had to slam down the lever, so I didn't know any better.) My toast turned out perfect and one of the coolest things about this toaster is that it has an extra leverage function that lifts the toasted items a little higher so you don't have to stick your fingers into the slots.
Just an awesome toaster and it's a huge upgrade to my kitchen!!

I just got this toaster a month ago and I like it a lot. To be fair, I don't toast things every day but I have not had any cause for complaint yet. Put bread in, it toasts it evenly and you take bread out.
I think many people who like "artisan" bread will like this toaster because it does a couple of things that make weird size slices toast well. First, it has nice wide toast holders that can fit longer and thicker pieces of bread. It also has a pop height adjuster that can make it easier to get out those shorter slices. I can't find another toaster for the price that lets you toast this type of bread easily.
If you don't slice or eat specialty breads, you might not want to spend this much unless it is a good match for your decor. It still does toast regular store-bought bread well though. I also had good success with English muffins and bagels although I had to use a higher temperature setting to make it a one pop deal.
