Amazon Basics 4 Slice Toaster, 6 Browning Settings, Removable Crumb Tray, Bagel and Defrost Function, Cancel Button, 1600W, Black

Once upon a time I procured my first 4-slice toaster from an estate sale for about $5.00. It became my forever toaster, until it didn’t. When one side stopped working I yearned to replace it. A nice looking Cuisnart CPT-142P1 caught my eye, and I promptly purchased it from Amazon. You must understand that I enjoy a bagel from time to time, and prefer it toasted like the local Bagel Shop toasts them. Well the Cuisnart toasts both sides of the bagel. So why does it have a bagel button on it? I can burn the back side of my bagels in the normal toaster mode just fine. So back it went. As my original toaster was a Kenmore it was decided to stick with a proven brand, what could go wrong? So off the order went for a Kenmore toaster. It toasted bagels properly; however it took 6 minutes whereas the old Kenmore did the job in 3 minutes. Come to find out it was slow in all modes. The elements didn’t even seem to light up. It’s a good thing Amazon loves returns. Off it went. Next I ordered an Amazon Basics 4-slice toaster. I’ve run the preliminary tests, and finally I think my new forever toaster has arrived. Sorry for all the returns Amazon, but you’re not getting this one back. The End Reply from Aunt Irene: Your toaster saga is a testament to the ups and downs of finding the perfect kitchen appliance. It sounds like a true journey of trial and error! It's interesting how even small features like a "bagel button" can make a big difference in your satisfaction with a product. The Amazon Basics 4-slice toaster seems to have finally hit the mark for you. Enjoy your perfectly toasted bagels!

We needed a new toaster and this was the best choice. The price was good and its actually made good. It works good. The temp settings are legit... weve never went past 4 or else the toast burns. Love the look, it isnt too bulky on the counter either. The kids like to use it too- so its a win.

I was very happy with this purchase. I purchased a top rated (from Amazon) slim line toaster from Amazon less than a year ago, but it wouldn't toast on both sides simultaneously. My husband hated that. My daughter had purchased this toaster and recommended it to me. It was less expensive, and she was very happy with hers, so I ordered one. I must say, I'm glad I did. It's everything I needed in a toaster: reasonable price, 4 slices with dual controls for each two slices. Toasts on both sides simultaneously. Cancel button if you need it. Simple controls. The first thing my husband said was, "That looks nice." It's not a slim line, but it's attractive on the counter. My only complaint would be that the marks on the dials are a bit hard to read, but I can mark that with a sharpie. I'd call this a great purchase.

Great toaster! Only issue is, the push handle is on the end where all the pressure goes when pushed down and the “handle” has broken off.

Replaced the old toaster as it had seen better days. This toaster works very nicely, great options for control, for whatever you may be using in your toaster. The kids enjoy the different settings and have learned quickly how they prefer to use them!

I really like the finish of this toaster. I like the styling, it’s a little bit retro but it fits in really well with the rest of my kitchen. The black goes really well with my black stainless steel refrigerator and black appliances. It’s got buttons on it for bagels, defrosting, frozen bread and to cancel if your toast is done before it pops up. I especially like the button to cancel toasting. As sometimes I can see that it’s done before it pops up and this is a simple push of a button and up it comes. I’ve had it for a couple of hours but I’ve already toasted some bread in there, and it came out toasted very evenly. There’s a bit of a smell on the first burn, but that will go away as I use it more. The dials for how dark you want your toast have numbers and little click stops as you make the dial turn for darker or lighter, which is very cool and it lets you know exactly what setting you are on for each side. There are two slide out trays in the back of the toaster to get your crumbs out after you toast bread or bagels. I thought this toaster was reasonably priced and it sure looks great in my kitchen. I’ve just gotten it so I can’t say how long it will last, but it looks like it is made to last a good long time.

Only had this toaster a couple months but its super cute and works well. Seems like its fast too (or our old one was really slow). But honestly... pleasantly surprised with this one!

This toaster has been a great addition to our kitchen. The extra-wide slots easily fit bagels and thick slices of bread, and the shade selector lets everyone get their toast just the way they like it. I really appreciate the separate controls for each side, which makes it easy to toast different items at once. The crumb trays are easy to clean, and the extra lift feature is helpful for safely grabbing smaller pieces. It works quickly and consistently, and the sleek design looks great on the counter. I am so happy with this purchase that I plan to buy another one for our guest space.

Does not toast the bread as evenly as any other toaster i have owned I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
