I like being able to see what shade the bread or bagel is turning. It only got 4 stars because it still requires me to manually stop it to keep from over toasting bread/bagel. The gauge does not accurately match up with what color toast you consistently get. So...when it is too light, my family cranks it up and then we are visually checking to make sure it doesn't overtoast. The up side is that at least it is toasting the whole piece, which with previous toasters was impossible. I have used this toaster on a variety of things, bread seems to go better than bagels or sliced rolls. While nothing is perfect, I am satisfied.

Love the toaster, i like to see the color of the toast, dont like it dark. Love how it doesn't take up alot of room on the counter, very slim design.

I have looked so hard for a toaster I even liked. They either burned the toast or broke immediately or just weren’t consistent. This toaster I love! Consistently perfect toast and bagels every time.

It doesn't hold toast straight. could not get a decent piece of toast after 8 tries at different settings. It gets too hot, it would make a good portable heater. Where do I take it to get a refund.

Works very well. The clear window helps a lot to gauge the darkness of the toast. I'm always amazed at the quality of Dash products for such a low cost.

Easy to use - but does take sometime to get use to levels. Not too good with bagels. Must be careful on the size of bread to fit two slices in at once.

We have had no problem with the toaster. Some people have had problems with toast being ejected too strongly, but this did not happen with us. Reheat function is very good idea if you have left the toast after initial toasting and it has gotten cold.

Nice toaster, novel glass front. toasts very well. Only bad point is it sometimes shoots the bread up and out of the toaster....my wife likes that , she tries to predict where to set her plate to catch the toast. I haven't tried to figure how to adjust yet. I like the design of placing toast in a single row.

I chose this toaster because it was recommended on America’s test kitchen. The toaster slot may be wide enough for two slices, but it isn’t deep enough. When you lower regular sandwich bread the top does not get toasted. America’s test kitchen also claimed that this had a little bit more button if your toast wasn’t dark enough. This toaster does not have that. It also is very vigorous with its ejection so have a catchers mitt nearby. Overall it gets the job done though.

I like toast! You can watch your toast get browned (on one side) while you watch! I have owned quite a few toasters and toaster ovens over the decades, and this one is the best toaster for bread so far. The Dash Clearview Toaster gives me excellent control over just how brown I want my toast to be. I have never had a toaster that toasted so uniformly and evenly! You can take out the glass window panel for easy cleaning (if you're just toasting, you probably won't need to) as well as a tray that catches the crumbs. If your eggs and bacon aren't done yet, you can press the Reheat button to make your toast nice and warm again without burning it. It also has a bagel button and a defrost button (for frozen waffles, for example). The slot is wide enough for the thickest slices. One caveat; it will not accommodate two really wide pieces of bread at a time. It is fine for most bread, but the maximum total width of the opening is 10.5 inches.
