Sunbeam 3916 Heritage Series 2-Slice Toaster, Stainless Steel Review

Sunbeam 3916 Heritage Series 2-Slice Toaster, Stainless Steel

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!!

Combining elegant design with practical function, this Heritage Series two-slice toaster from Sunbeam features extra-wide slots to accommodate thick bagels or artisan-style breads. The toaster's food select buttons include bagel, pastry, and toast with seven toast-shade settings that allow for light to dark toasting. In addition, the unit offers reheat and warm options for heating up items without drying them out. Other highlights include extra-deep slots, self-adjusting centering guides that ensure bread is perfectly aligned for even browning on both sides, a cool-touch exterior, and a locking high-lift lever for safe removal of smaller items. The toaster measures 6 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cherries in Pink Tablecloth Review

Cherries in Pink Tablecloth

The design of this tablecloth is very retro and very cute; it even has a slightly faded look to it so it appears like it was a hand-me-down from Grandma rather than purchased new. This tablecloth even comes in an adorable little bag made from the same fabric that you can use for something else. THe one drawback to this tablecloth comes with the washing instructions and the shrinkage that follows.
The instructions say to wash in cold and then dry without heat, which makes sense. However, I ran this tablecloth through TWO cycles of heatless drying and it was still incredibly damp, so I had to hang it outside, which was fine. I was a little disheartened to see how much the tablecloth had shrunk, though, when I put it back on my table. Now the ends come just to the edge of the table, but do not hang down the sides. My table is 36x60, so if this cloth was indeed 66 inches, there should be a little overhang on the far ends. There was a little when I first got it, but not anymore.
I wish this cloth was offered in longer sizes. It is very cute, though.

Cute print, but shrunk a lot the first time I washed it. It's nowhere near 62" anymore... more like 58". Doesn't fit my small dining table very nicely anymore, but it would work for a card table (although still probably not drape nicely at this shrunken size).

I put this on my Christmas wish list and my friends bought this for me for the holidays. We used it last night for my Christmas celebration and it is great. Haven't washed it yet but am VERY happy with the quality. It came in an adorable pouch made of the same fabric with bric a brac on the envelope. Extra nice for gifting.
