Tried toasting bread 3 times. Each time it burned the lower right edge of the bread despite the setting

Sides get HOT enough after one cycle, that you can't pick it up and I didn't try to pick it up for quite some time after using.

I love my Bella toaster! I love the color and how everything fits in easily and is easy to clean out the crumbs.

Attractive form, but color options are odd. Side to side heating is uneven. Not being digital there is no countdown to let you know how much time is left. I am hoping the uneven heating will resolve itself with use.

Even at the lowest settings it burnt my croissants and bagels. When toasting bread, one side was toasted more than the other side. Looks great but a total piece of garbage.

I bought this in November of 2025, and it worked nicely for about 2 months. Now the inside elements do not heat, so I only get toasted on one side of the bread.

I really like it but it doesn't toast evenly with two slices of bread in it. I've tried both in same slot and opposite slots. Still very uneven browning.

Very happy with the Bella toaster. It’s an excellent size for a smaller kitchen yet able to handle many sizes of breads, bagels, etc. It toasts perfectly, too, unlike the toaster oven we have used for years.

We bought this as a replacement for a similar design model by KitchenAid that quit holding the bread down; it worked but we manually had to hold the lever down. This bella product has a smaller footprint and almost all the features of the more expensive KitchenAid model. The toasting slots are exactly the same, except you cannot raise the bread to check on toasting while it is toasting. The KitchenAid unit worked for about 2 years, so we'll be anxious to see how this performs at a fraction of the price of the old one. It works well but time will tell...

Brought yesterday and it's working perfect and nice and neat on my counter top.
