Weak "pop up" spring does not raise toast/bagel up enough to be safely removed without tongs. Cooks toast/bagels to perfection. The browning control knob is a superb feature. Allows precise control of toast/bagel browning. The frozen and bagel buttons are another excellent feature. You will love the toasting performance of this toaster. Just wish it had a stronger "pop up" spring.

The toaster looks beautiful and is very solid. Works great so far, and this may just fade with time, but the first couple uses I’ve smelled a little lingering of a bad smell when the toasting starts. Alarmist like something during manufacturing or packaging is added that (I’m hoping) burns off after a couple more uses.

The toaster is beautiful, just as pictured. Cooking time selection for doneness is great to find your prefect shade of toast. Only suggestion for improvement is to make toast slice opening longer. Does not fit every size of bread, which means have to toast x2 to get both ends toasted.

Based on the price point, this is a great little toaster. It is also sleek and clean looking. I give it 4.5 stars because one side of the toast gets a bit darker than the other side, but all things considered, it's a solid toaster and I would recommend it.

I needed a new toaster and when I saw this product, I just knew I had to purchase it. I grew up using GE appliances so it was a no brainer! It toasts evenly and quickly. I have yet to use this wonderful appliance with anything else but I'm sure it will do the job as well. Thank you GE for this wonderful toaster!! Highly recommended!!!

I like the traditional metal toaster. Was surprised at how light (in weight) this one was compared to the previous one. Was a little disappointed on how it toasts. It is more brown on the bottom than the top. Not sure if it is from just being new.

They don't make toasters like they use too...some will say. It doesn't apply to this one. This toaster toasts the bread evenly on both sides, the settings are accurate and it's a standard toaster, no frills or thrills, just a toaster that does what it's supposed to do by doing it right "Makes good toast".

“I absolutely love this GE toaster! The stainless steel finish gives it a sleek, modern look that looks great in my kitchen. The buttons light up to indicate which mode you’ve selected (like bagel or frozen), which is super handy and adds a nice touch. The toasting options are fantastic, offering more choices than my previous toasters from Black+Decker and Hamilton Beach. It’s also surprisingly easy to pull the lever down without tipping the toaster over, which was a problem with other, cheaper models. Plus, it’s very quiet—you barely hear the heating elements, and it toasts bread evenly every time. Highly recommend!”

I tried my new toaster 4 different times. The outside of the bread was the shade as selected. The inside sides of the bread were burnt. I returned the toaster bought a Black and Decker for half the price of the GE toaster. The replacement toaster works fine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple and stylish, this toaster replaced a barely used "fancy" name brand toaster with way too many worthless features. The GE Toaster browns well on both sides and whether fresh or frozen, it gets the job done!
