Purchased several toasters before finding this one that toasts evenly and is consistent. The design is good looking which helps because it sits out on my counter. Manual dial selecter means less things to go bad (like digital displays) overall I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.

The toaster is attractive, easy to use, and appears well made. Would have given 5 stars, but initially the levers would not stay down. However, the levers just need a little more finesse, rather than just pushing down. And, there's a light that comes on when they are in the correct position.

Just received this new toaster. Plugged it in to cure the interior as instructed and all coils working as they should. Put in some bread to toast and set shade dial and turned it on. The toast came out evenly browned and not all dried out. toaster works great.

We got a 4-slice toaster so we could each have permanent personal settings and to reduce time for breakfast prep. The toaster works well with thin or thick sliced bread and bagels. It's lightweight which is nice because we keep most appliances stored in a cabinet. The chrome is shiny on top which may be a challenge to keep looking good, but so far we are very happy with this purchase.

This toaster is great. I had just bought another toaster in January that I was just trying to make due. It just didn't toast evenly. After going to my daughter's vacation home where she had a GE toaster-2 slicer, I decided to go ahead and purchase this one. It works wonderful. It is my only choice now for a toaster and everyone knows it.

Had a GE toaster that was approximately 15 years old that I finally needed to replace. This one works well. Two reasons for the 4 stars rather than 5 is in the design of this model. There is a gap all around the top where the sides meet the plate with the slots. This is going to let crumbs fall into it and there is no way to clean them out. Also the crumb trays are in the back of the toaster instead of the front like my old model which is going to be a lot more inconvenient.

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

We went from a 2-slice toaster to this one. The stainless steel look is really nice, with the housing and buttons/slide also stainless steel. The outside of the toaster stays cools irrespective of how many slices you're toasting. The top of the toaster, however, and to be expected, is very hot. So, keep your hands away from the stainless steel on the top of the unit. When you toast, the Cancel button will illuminate in the event you need to stop the toasting process before completion. Two additional buttons, Bagel and Frozen, also illuminate if you chose one of them. All in all, we are enjoying this toaster and believe it is deserving of a 5-star review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the style, it looks sleek yet chunky. It is a very pretty toaster, which is admittedly an odd thing to say about a toaster but it really is. I love seeing it sitting on the counter. It's champion at toast, very even, no burnt spots or bald spots, a nice even toast. Bagels and frozen pastry too. Doesn't toss the toast across the room either. :D

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.
