[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this toaster when our two-slice cheapo model bit the dust. This toaster is awesome from everything to waffles to bagels. Works awesome and toasts super evenly. I really like having the increased capacity for weekend breakfasts. I would recommend to anyone looking for a sleet simple design, reliable toaster.

We got a 4-slice toaster so we could each have permanent personal settings and to reduce time for breakfast prep. The toaster works well with thin or thick sliced bread and bagels. It's lightweight which is nice because we keep most appliances stored in a cabinet. The chrome is shiny on top which may be a challenge to keep looking good, but so far we are very happy with this purchase.

We went from a 2-slice toaster to this one. The stainless steel look is really nice, with the housing and buttons/slide also stainless steel. The outside of the toaster stays cools irrespective of how many slices you're toasting. The top of the toaster, however, and to be expected, is very hot. So, keep your hands away from the stainless steel on the top of the unit. When you toast, the Cancel button will illuminate in the event you need to stop the toasting process before completion. Two additional buttons, Bagel and Frozen, also illuminate if you chose one of them. All in all, we are enjoying this toaster and believe it is deserving of a 5-star review.

Looks great on the dark granite countertop. Excellent design and the external does not get hot even at the highest setting. The toast browns almost evenly on both sides of bread, unlike the other toasters I have had in the past 25 years in which one side browns at the setting while the other side is almost burnt. This toaster, so far since I've only toasted on slice of honey wheat bread, is perfect. The underside cord holder is a plus so there isn't a lot of cord, even with a twist tie, dangling around to the outlet. The wide slots are truly wide for bagels. Another great feature is that the finished toasting pop-up is at the right height. This toaster's handles do not allow to go beyond the manufacturer's adjustment.

But it has some slight differences from side to side using the same setting. Its OK after you discover this and make the appropriate setting for each side. We find a half setting less on the left makes toast the same shade as the next higher setting on the right. (Such as 3 1/2 on the left and 4 on the right.) It really is a beautiful toaster and now that we both are retired and have the opportunity to eat breakfast together at home a 4 slice toaster is a must. And its nice that each side has its own crumb tray Its stainless steel finish is a breeze to keep looking sparkling new .

When you engage the "bagel" function of the toaster, the two heating coils in the toaster that should not be active in the Bagel mode continue to stay on and accordingly, the toaster does not toast only one side in bagel mode. This was a major disappointment as I toast a lot of bagels. If you use the "bagel" mode a lot, this is not the toaster for you. I would not buy a GE toaster again.

Our old GE toaster gave out after 20 years. Unfortunately we purchased a competitor brand as a replacement since it was cheaper and in stock locally, big mistake. Uneven toasting, burnt on level two, hot exterior. Ordered this GE toaster to replace the replacement and love it! Toasts even, the shade settings actually provide different levels of toasting, and it looks nice. Big win is the shade knobs click for each setting, other toaster did not and was definitely a feature we missed from our original GE toaster!

We had an inexpensive 2 slot toaster, it worked fine. The need for a 4 slot toaster with a Bagel setting was a plus! Everyone in the house likes this and it comes out perfect! Just be sure of the setting you like because that is what you get. So worth the price!

This toaster is very nice. Love the lighted buttons and selections available. Seems to toast evenly, without having to turn your bread. Yay! Wish the slots were just a tiny bit wider, but handles a bagel fairly well. Frozen waffles toasted right the first time, when pushing the 'frozen' button.

One of the best products to have for your Morning Routine and Beyond, The Frozen Feature button is a must 2 use for Morning Goodies, A great asset! Then mine cools off quick for me to be able to put away early. You can't go wrong with this Toaster It's the Best..
