Seems to be a little inconsistent - does a fairly good job

It’s perfect for our small kitchen, makes great toast and is attractive.

Like this toaster.Works great.Toasts on both sides.

Window lets you achieve the best toasting results.

This toaster is perfect for my mom. She likes being able to see her toast so it is not overdone.

rear element does not come on

Great toaster.

I loved having the side window to watch the progression of what ever food item I was toasting, but this product didn't last long. Eventually the mechanism to drop the toast failed. If you held it down, the toaster would heat up and work, but it wasn't worth the bother and this cute little toaster is headed for the garbage can.

Nice toaster

I purchased this toaster back in April and have tried to use it multiple times. Every single time I use it the bread is only toasted in sections and not evenly as expected. On top of that if you are not standing right next to it to catch your toast when its done your toast ends up in the counter or floor as it shoots it out of the toaster. We tried multiple settings and different types of bread but had the same results time and time again. If I would have read the reviews prior to purchasing I would have seen others had the same issue. Lucky for me Sam's has a great return policy and took it back no questions asked.
