So far, so good. We have only had this toaster for a short time, and as they say, "time will tell," but as of now, we are happy with it. All of our bread is home-baked, and slices aren't perfect as with store-purchased bread, but this toaster handles it all very well. I find even on the darkest setting, toast is not quite dark enough for our preference, but very easy to set at a lower setting for a brief period, and then it is just right. Before this purchase, we had tried two toasters from a different manufacturer. They worked so poorly that we returned them. We have high hopes that this toaster will last for a long while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for my counter top, so simple with three buttons and a rotary knob. This has been a huge upgrade for us, as the last one was so finicky about over done sometimes and really over done others. We’ve found this is just a set it once and it consistently produces great results, that taste wonderful! Looking forward to a long run with this toaster, Good Job GE!

love the modern clean lines, the extra wide openings, and higher rise to remove toast etc. The shade knob is very accurate also. Glad I spent the extra money on this solid GE appliance.

If you want a really good basic toaster for large loaf bread and bagels, then this is a great choice. It even toasts frozen bread nicely with the setting for that.

Researched various toaster options before deciding to replace our 20 year old GE toaster with this one. ( The light-dark knob and cancel button on the old one had stopped working.) This fit the bill because it offered the functions we used (frozen, bagel, cancel, and toasting setting) in an attractive but not overstated design that fit well with our kitchen. All functions work as advertised. I'm delighted that I can now have a piece of light or medium toast without standing over the toaster to manually stop it at the right time. It heats up nicely and toasts quickly. I like that the cord can be guided through brackets underneath the toaster to shorten it and allow it to come out from the back. Also, the leaver can be raised a bit to grab the ready toast, so no more fishing the toast out with a wooden stick. This toaster is a bit lighter in weight than our older one but it still has a substantial feel. Wipes clean nicely. The price was a bit high but it had the features we wanted and our other GE laaaaasted, so we felt OK about going with a known brand. Happy with the purchase. Delivered promptly by WalMart.

You can toast your bread or bagel to anywhere from nicely browned to what looks like something cremated. Wide slots accommodate various kinds and widths of bread or similar product.

This is the Best toaster that I have ever used by far! This thing cooks everything even, It cooks frozen pancakes and it has a button to stop and eject during cooking if you want to stop at any point. It is easy to clean and it looks great on my counter. This is the Rolls Royce of all toasters! Best 50 Bucks that you can spend on your kitchen!

America's Test Kitchen recommended this model GE model which is why I bought it to begin with. Firstly, this is a beautiful looking toaster so if you're looking for a high end look on your counter top this definitely fits the bill. Fingerprint issues are minimal. I was impressed by the size, shape %26 overall appearance of the toaster, no complaints whatsoever there. The toaster toasts at a reasonable pace, but it doesn't toast perfectly even on both sides. One other issue to note is that if you're making more than two pieces of toast consider that the second set is beginning with a hot toaster so lower the setting a bit to allow for a pre-heated toaster. It is not a 'smart' toaster so it doesn't reset temperature back to cold immediately after a use. Overall I plan to keep it %26 I like the fact it doesn't take up too much space on my countertop.

For one thing, the toaster do not toast on both sides of the bread at the same time. When I flip it over to do the other side it get too crusty. The same problem I had with my other toaster I had for over 15 years. I thought it was time to get a new one, but this new one is doing the same as the old one, did.

The toaster I received toasts bread darker on one side, lighter on the other side. Both sides should be equal. The heating elements heat unevenly. Some are glowing orange. some not glowing at all! This uneven side toasting occurs on both slots.
