I think the toaster is a very good value. I noticed if you toast bread continuously the outside of the toaster does get hot. Also the left side pops sooner than the right at the same settings making the toast on the right darker even if they are at the same setting

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!

This is a very modern looking toaster appliance which I love. Since it is a 4 slice toaster it does command a wider counter-top space footprint. It has very easy to use controls and you can set your browning adjustments from 1 to 7. The appliance did a nice job toasting both bread and bagels. If you use the bagel setting, the toaster only operates the inside elements therefore you need to place the cut side facing inwards. If you like your bagel toasted on both sides, just use the regular setting of the toaster. Before using the appliance for the first time, you should operate the unit empty once or twice in order to burn off the smell on the new elements using the darkness control set to 7. I found that after the second cycle of the empty burn, the appliance no longer produced any smell. Overall this is a wonderful product with a 4 slice capability which has separate controls. Its stainless steel look is modern and fits well in any kitchen. Registering your product is made easy as you can scan the QR code that automatically populates your products name and serial number. Super easy, awesome. Great product.

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 toaster was old and only toasted two slices of bread at a time. I asked for a better toaster for Father's Day and my wife bought it. Now we can toast different things at the same time conveniently. Works very well and seems high quality. It looks nice too.

Best toaster my wife and I have had in our 50 married years. Toast is almost evenly done on both sides. Bagels and English muffins come out perfect. A unique feature of this toaster is that there is no need for an additional lift of the lever to get the muffin out because the lever's travel is always all the way to the top, making retrieval of the muffin easy without getting "toasty" fingers. The metal sides do not get hot, which was a welcome surprise. My only complaint is that the small dial's numbers are hard to read since they are etched in the metal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my 4 slice toaster. It is so convenient for a family of 4. It takes less time to toast 4 pieces of waffles/ toast as it would 2. Toasts perfectly. Great product . Also had a nice look to it.

Have just used it for over a month now and I really like the features, there are the perfect amount of options without it getting to complicated. Its built solid, can launch out my bagels unlike my previous toaster and having four sections makes my mornings go quicker. Aesthetically appealing as well and goes great with our silver appliances.

I like the style and look of the toaster. It matches my kitchen appliances and breadbox. Four slices is convenient. Seems to be built solid. I hoped it would toast quickly, but it takes the same amount of time as my old toaster. Although, it does toast bread more evenly and the lift handles work better.

Looks great. Like that it has 4 slots and adjustable toast color by number. I like that the cord can be wrapped under the bottom and come out in various places. Only suggestion would be to make the plug in flat with downward angle so it fits closer to the wall.
