It's a nice toaster. Very pretty design and easy to use controls. Toasts well and even. The outer metal sides do not get hot when toasting I think due to it's double wall construction. Two minor issues: There is a slight odor from the toaster after toast is done. Tried toasting it off as suggested in the instructions but it still persists. I think it will eventually go away. Second minor issue is you have to push the start lever down with your fingers close to toaster. If you push down with your fingers at the edge of the push-down lever the toaster will tilt forward. People should consider this nicely designed toaster in their choice making.

I used one of these at a B&B we stayed in and went home and ordered one to replace my old tired toaster. Great results every time on a variety of breads and thicknesses. I might have knocked off 1/2 of a star since the operation of the buttons is not totally intuitive. After consulting the manual all became clear however. (I just feel a product such as this should not even require a manual..but that is me.) Overall a great purchase!

I enjoy sourdough toast, and the toaster I've had for years simply wouldn't accept the slice size that's available to me. This arrived to day, and after the initial 'Burn-in" the instructions said to do, I popped a slice of sourdough in and it came out absolutely perfect. Looking forward to the quality I've always gotten from GE products!!

Great toaster. Provides a very even toast on both sides of the bread. We like the way it fits on the counter - most toaster rest parallel and against the wall, we have it sitting perpendicular to the wall. The power cord coming from the side is not a bother. Cleans up nicely.

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.

I purchased a GE toaster because thru the years the appliances have preformed well and lasted for years with very minimal breakdowns. This toaster toasts dark on one side and light on the other so you have to stand over it and turn the bread. So, it doesn’t get used very much

My older GE toaster finally decided to retire, so since I have always liked the GE products I bought the newer version. Love the look of this toaster and it works great; especially like the light up buttons for bagels, frozen and cancel. This helps to avoid error when toasting. The removeable crumb tray is a plus! Cosmetically, its a nice looking addition to the counter. Very happy with this appliance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was ready for a upgrade and this toaster is great. Many have the bagel button but they don’t really work. I’ve been happy to get perfectly toasted bagels. Yum. Also it works on my white bread and mulit grain. I like that it wide enough for big Texas toast. Only downside is the side do warm up so I have to keep the kids away from the counter. Now a plus is this has a good side extension cord so I can move it around the counter. My last one as so many I was hugging the plug. I also have all stainless steel appliances so like that it matches that look.

This is our second toaster. I returned the first one thinking we had just gotten a bad one. The toaster does work but it basically toasts only on one side like I’ve pushed the bagel button when I haven’t. All of the heating elements do not light up on it and did not on the first one either. Our last toaster was a GE and was a great toaster for years. Unfortunately we are not satisfied with this one.

Nice looking, easy to operate. The top slot is 5.5 inches which is longer than most and why I ordered it but it would be nice if it was a least a 1/2 inch longer to accommodate some of the larger breads. You can't seem to find a toaster with larger top slot unless you get a toaster that's much longer which takes up too much real estate on my counter.
