Upon placing my first slice of toast in the GE 4 - Slice Toaster, the toast came out perfectly even on both sides and perfectly brown set at the 4 ½ setting, maybe a tinge of a difference but still pleased. A slight odor at the beginning to most likely burn off the elements. After that, the toaster was fine. Easy to use settings illuminated in blue and the dial settings have positive clicks. I opted for the stainless version as I am quite satisfied as to the quality and performance. The large sized toaster slots are very welcome as one can place Texas toast or bagels within with no problems. Quite pop up mode when toast is finished. About three minutes for one slice of toast set at 4 ½ .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We decided to try a GE Brand of toaster. What a classy elegant 4 slice toaster! It is simple to use. The design is classy, clean, and functional. We love the variety of toast options that has 7 shades of doneness. We especially love how turning the knob "clicks" to the number selected to how much you want your toast done (lightly to dark). The slots are big enough for anything you want toasted. It toasts everything perfectly. This toaster was well thought out. It looks great on our countertop. It is easy to clean as well. We also got it at a great sales price. We would highly recommend this GE 4 slice toaster.

Replaced my 18 year old GE Toaster. This one is very nice looking. Love the wider slots and that it pops up higher. Settings accurate. Do wish the cord was in the back instead of the side.

Best 4-slice toaster I have ever owned. Easy to clean with crumb trays at the bottom that slide out. Multiple control settings with large slots for bagels, waffles and breads. Includes cancel, frozen and bagel buttons.

Looks good, Works well and is easy to use. Toasts evenly.

The toaster works great and accommodates various sizes of bread and buns easily. It would have been nicer if the darkness control setting on the buttons were more pronounced and easier to see.

i love the 4 slot GE toaster. it's built solid and toasts toast and bagels perfectly. it also has a wide range of shades so your toast comes out the way you like it.

Just set up this toaster today. It is a good looking Appliance however, I can see where fingerprints and smudges are going to be a problem all over this toaster. I went through the set of procedures and then made my first two pieces of toast. I had the setting on seven or maximum browning and it took a really long time and unfortunately came out rather light. Haven't decided whether or not, I will be keeping this toaster yet.

This toaster replaced our Cuisinart toaster. It takes about 50% longer to toast anything. The filament wires are much thinner which says a lot about the cost cutting. I'll not be buying this brand (GE, aka Haier) again.

I had high expectations for this toaster, given the high ratings and being from GE. Unfortunately, I returned it within days of receiving it. It does not toast both sides evenly – not even close, (see pictures). At the 4.5 setting, one side is dark and the other is very light. (No, it wasn't on the ‘bagel' setting.) Upon further inspection and testing only about half of the heating elements in all slots were glowing red and in a haphazard pattern. No wonder the toasting is inconsistent! Very disappointing.
