I purchased the Dash Clear View Toaster based on the reviews I researched, and especially based on the one that America's Test Kitchen gave on it's YouTube channel. After using a Black&Decker $20 toaster for the past 8 years, which served me very well, I have to say that the Clear View Toaster is a far superior product. Not only does it toast evenly, but it retains some of the moisture inside the bread, while leaving it nice and toasted on the outside. I've never had toast not taste dry without any butter or other garnishments, so this was a pleasant surprise! I believe this has something to do with the heating elements, which are not the standard wires; rather they are large element tubes located at the bottom of the heating tray. Another thing I love about this toaster is the space-saving design. The single-slot design also allows me to toast wider pieces of bread, like my favorite Goldminer's Sourdough, without having to cut the slices in half. The view window is a nice addition, but based on how I have my toaster orientated, it's not a feature I will use often. The outside remains cool to the touch and also is very easy to clean. It matches the other appliances I have around my kitchen, including my appliances!Dash, great job on making a great product! So far, I am really enjoying my new toaster!Chris

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this last month when I was remodeling my kitchen and fell in love with this appliance. It is really easy to use and even my kids can use it to make toast and is really convient when trying makae a bagel or some toast.

After my 12 year old Breville finally gave up I went in search of a new toaster. I previewed several prospects and have discovered that buying a new toaster is not at all an easy task. Toasters run the gamete from cheap to super expensive and have several features such as defrost, bagel and reheat, etc. Paying more does not guarantee better performance. Seems most new toaster can not "toast" bread! They either don't toast, burn your bread, toast unevenly, and are not consistent. Ran across the Dash ClearView and found it to have the features I wanted...wide and long slots (1.5 x 10.5) defrost, bagel and reheat functions and a very cool see through window. My Mother had a glass front see through toaster back in the early 80's Don't re,ember the brand and don't see anything like it. Thought I would give the Dash a try and glad I did. My search is over! Toasts perfectly, and is consistant! Ran some tests with white, multigrain bread and English muffins and they were perfect. I like my toast on the lighter side and found the #4 to 4.5 setting to be perfect and the shade matches the illustration in the Dash user manual. DO NOT believe the negative reviews! As far as the "launching" of the toast out of the toaster, I had no such issue. And with the lever not latching and staying down it is "user error" The inner removable glass has a safety switch on the right side of the glass channel if glass is not properly reinserted and switch not engaged, circuit will not complete and toaster will not function. Dash has included an additional instruction sheet describing this. Also, this toaster uses quartz heating tubes, not nichrome ribbon wire. Quartz tubes are more even heating and are more durable than nichrome wire. The only other toaster i have ever seen with quartz tubes was a Krups, and I believe they are no longer made. Bottom line, this toaster does what a toaster should do! Buy it. You will be happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple weeks ago and I love each and every single one of the features I love that you can see through the toaster so I can see exactly how done the bread is that I'm cooking so I don't burn it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Dash Clear view Toaster is very easy to use. My kids and I really enjoyed watching the toast we made toast in this toaster. I would have to say this is the most unique toaster I have ever owned. I would definitely recommend this to everyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this toaster. The toaster is incredibly easy to use and comes with a guide to help you learn the setting for how dark you want your toast. The window is by far my favorite part. My toddler loves to sit in a chair next to the toaster and watch his toast cook. I love that you can watch the toast and get it to the perfect level of toasted. It is incredibly easy to use, and it is a gorgeous color. I would 100% recommend this toaster.

This toaster has been great when it worked now after a couple of month it has stop working and that little fix that they put in the box doesn't work. See, they know that there's a problem that is why they put a fix in there, I should have returned it when I still had the box it came in. Do not buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this toaster! This Clear View Toaster has a wide opening perfect for thick pieces of toast or bagels. It has five settings on it for the perfect toast. It has a clear window so you can see your toast. It works perfectly. I highly recommend this Clear View Toaster!

Seriously I've owned a lot of toasters in my life but none of them are as good as the dash Clear View toaster. It toast bread Bagels English muffins or whatever you want to perfection and what's even better is you can see it and if you want it to pop up early all you have to do is push the button in the center of the dial. I love the bagel setting because I only want the cut side to toast and now I can have it the way I like it. Don't even think twice just order this believe me you'll never be sorry you did.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this toaster! All I have wanted is a way to see my food while it is toasting and someone finally did it! I have always been annoyed at toasters that level 3 is too light but level 4 is too dark. I no longer have that problem. I love being able to watch my toast so I get the perfect color and texture every single time. I would highly recommend this toaster!
