I have only used the toaster twice so perhaps it needs a break-in period but it doesn't toast evenly on both sides of the toast on either side of the toaster. The end closest to the controls is hotter and if you're not careful that end of your toes will be burnt

Wow is all I can say. We looked up a bunch of toasters after the toaster we had 17 years finally died. This GE is the truth! From hearing evenly on both sides to having room to fit split bagels in it, we love it. The buttons are a plus too. You won’t be mislead or disappointed buying this.

Just received the toaster today. Made toast. Fantastic. My old toaster kept blowing up. It appears that this one is gonna do the job make toast love toast, love GE got the beautiful two sliced toaster fits well on the cabinet. Looks nice and welcome addition to our home.

Only toasts on highest settings. Adequate for our tastes, but it's a good thing we don't need it darker. My biggest concern is about half the elements don't heat up at all. If more of them go out it won't toast on ANY setting. GE used to have dependable products. Now you are just selling cheap outsourced trash!

It's operating perfectly so far (three weeks of use). It looks great, and the adjustment dial is easy to see and adjust toastiness. I retired my old toaster because I could never adjust it properly - no visible marking on the adjustment dial and uneven toasting.

The toaster looks great, and while lightweight it doesn't seem cheaply made. I made a batch of homemade egg mcmuffins today and using the bagel setting for my english muffins, they came out perfect! Strong chemical smell, but I read about that in reviews before I bought it and know that it will go away after a few uses.

Nice looking. Toasts better than some I’ve had. Plenty enough room for bagel thickness. Pretty uniform toasting. Two complaints: For bagels or English muffins the dial has to be set to the highest setting to get a decent toasting color and I like a compact toaster, size ok but too tall.

Other reviewers toasters seem to do good toasting at different settings.Mine, however, doesn't actually toast with color at setting number 5. Seems odd in that it has 13 settings. #5 is the ninth setting; they have half numbers. But it does a good job of even toasting, even if two-thirds of the settings are useless unless one only wants warm bread. So I give a three as I regard it as average.

The toaster is well made with easy to use features. It has wide enough openings for bagels or thick bread for toasting but also allows for thinner slices to be toasted evenly. It is attractive enough to leave on the counter. The slide out tray makes for easy cleaning.

This is a great toaster. I just bought all new GE appliances recently and this toaster completes the look! It works great for toast and bagels and I love the push button cancel button if you need to pop it up faster! You can’t go wrong with GE as it’s a trusted brand that’s been around for years!
