It took me a bit to figure out how to release the glass to clean it before the first use, but then it was easy. It suggested starting at level 4, that did not toast home baked bread, but level 5 did. I am looking forward to using it for bagels and English muffins . I love the wide and longer length as we mostly used home baked sour dough breads.

Just bought our second one, the first one lasted almost 5 years. It's much more attractive on the counter than a traditional toaster, and we like that we can view the level of browning and stop at exactly the right time. It toasts quickly and evenly - we are really pleased with this toaster!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t believe that having a toaster that has a window could be so beneficial! I have finally been able to make perfect toast and bagels! The control panel is easy to use and the spring action is flawless!

It's a solid toaster with a strong feeling lever action. I believe the glass view is a big improvement. Using settings to gauge how done you want to get itls helpful but being able to change your mind, plunge it again and watch for the sweet spot is something I appreciate.

Slightly disappointed with the plastic, but I read that before I ordered. The great wide slot is perfect for my homemade breads. I don't always cut the slices too evenly, so this works for me. Not sure that the view window is anything more than window dressing- pun intended. Looks fun on my counter so it makes me happy. Only had it a short time and don't use it every day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this toaster by Dash! It is a pretty aqua green color and looks really nice on the countertop. The toaster works great. The slot will fit large bread including bagels fit perfectly in the slot. The side panel is clear and you can see how the toast is toasting. There are several adjustments you can make on the side panel to adjust level of toastiness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are not fans of having appliances on our countertop, but this toaster is actually neat and I don’t mind it being out. It’s easy to use, and toast comes out how we want it. And it’s neat to see it through the side as it toasts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Dash - Clear View Toaster. I love the color and the design! It is not like other toasters with the thin wires of heating element, this one has large heating elements on bottom of each side which allows the slices of bread to toast evenly. I love the large display window so I can keep an eye on how dark my toast gets. It does have a crumb tray that you can access to clean up. Bagels can fit in this toaster too. I love beautiful teal color too!

I like my cute new toaster but I have to put my homemade sourdough bread on the highest setting and it still only does one side well (the side away from the window). So I have to put it down twice after turning it around. It works better than the old one I was using so Ill keep using it.
