Elite Gourmet ECT118B Cool-Touch Single-Slice Toaster, Wide Slot, Black

Great toaster for the price

Just received this nice little toaster with the specs we required. It' simple but has the wider slots to hold all types of breads. It has a shorter cord, which is much appreciated for use on our countertop. The "cancel" button is always very good, as well as the crumb catcher. I followed the instructions about cleaning it before use, and then setting it on the highest temp through two separate times, with some air flow in the kitchen, and it didn't smell at all. The "cool touch" is much appreciated as well. We hope to make good use of this product. We haven't actually toasted anything inside yet, but we'll be trying it out today for that purpose. The white color is shiny and it's just a very straight-forward retro-look, with modern features. Thank You!

Does the job, intense heat, very lightweight, crumb door on bottom does not stay closed. I didn't expect to keep this toaster very long I used it during holiday. Works great!

My 16 year old son recently started to like toasted bagels but we had a regular toaster. You know how tough it is to toast a bagel in a regular slot. And he has a Mama who does not buy a nifty new thing just because he wants to easily slide the bagel out. Poor kid. He lost the campaign for a new toaster. Anyways, there I was, toasting up some bread for Chipped Beef on Toast (yum!) and I heard a zap, smelled smoke, and saw the briefest of flames come from my 25-year-old toaster. Yikes! I pulled the plug and hit Amazon, ready to give my son the toaster of his dreams. This was/is perfect. We discarded the old toaster and broke out the new one …. A couple bagels later, we know it was a most excellent purchase. Simple, white (we have nothing stainless in our kitchen), wide-slot, excellent at toasting bread AND those bagels for the always-hungry teenager in my life … perfection! No bagels were harmed in this process. We may have used a baseball bat on the old one … I did mention I have a 16-year-old, right? And he does like to destroy things …

I really wanted to deal with the issues I've had with this toaster since I received it two weeks ago, but after a number of them, I've realized I can't. It sparking today when starting to toast, was the last straw. When I took it out of the box, the push down knob was off the Slider. It was extremely difficult to get that back on. At that time, I noticed that the sliding mechanism was no where near level, with the front sliding all the way to the bottom and the back still halfway up. More on this later. I did read that I should do a few toast cycles with nothing in there to burn off any residual smells. I did 2 of these, noticed smells on the first cycle but not the second. Then I tried to toast some bread. I had to be extremely gentle and intentional about the angle and pressure I used to push the Slider down. The front will go all the way to the bottom yet leaving the back end half way up, it won't lock so won't turn on. I figured out how to manipulate it to be more even and get the back end to lock, but this takes way more effort than should be required on a toaster. I like my toast pretty dark, so I placed it on the 4 setting. It came out black on one side of each piece, and a little darker than what I would consider a 4 out of 7 on the other side. I can only imagine that "toasting" on the 5-7 settings would give you the results of Sharon Weiss's ruined pumpkin pie from Marie Callender. My spouse could not get the toaster to evenly slide and lock. I had to attempt several times to assist. The knob fell off again. Today, when my spouse pushed the lever down, the toaster sparked. I am not in the mood to have marital arguments over a toaster that has been nothing but issues in the two weeks we've had it, so we are done with this toaster. Sadly, I wasted $15 after I scoffed at $50 toasters. I probably still won't buy one of those either, but I would have been pretty close to that purchase price had I not wasted the money on this one, considering I'm going to have to get another one that is a few dollars more now anyway. Buyer beware.

It toasts the slice of bread unevenly with almost burns the bottom. I had the flip the slice and toast again to complete. Also, I toasted 4 slices in a row and the plastic on one side started to melt the outside of the plastic exterior. Directions should warn, "let cool between slices". Love the size for storing in my RV.

This little beauty fits my needs perfectly. Just one slice toasted my way. I love all the varied toasted open faced sandwiches. And half the calories because it's only one slice!

Very basic toaster but you can’t beat the price

Muy buena relación precio calidad.

Idéal pour moi je le voulais petit et léger pour le camping et c’est le cas. Service rapide

Funciona perfecto aún cuando hago de 4 a 6 panes seguidos, me encanta! Y no ocupa espacio! Ideal ara mi.

This toaster got 5 stars but the slot is nice and wide but it could be a bit longer. It works great for our solar off grid system! You couldn’t be too rough with it as it is a bit light. So far it does exactly what we need it too

Calidad y precio buenos
