[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Hamilton Beach Brushed Stainless Steel Toaster a few days ago, to review. It's a very nice looking toaster.
The first thing I toasted was a bagel. I set it to 5 and it came out perfect. It is probably a little darker than most people like, so you might want to set it on 4 for your first try. Next I toasted some bread. It was just regular white bread. I set it on 3 and it came out with a light toasting. So I let it go a little longer. I really like the way this toaster works. The numbers go up to 7 so it will really be great for everybody.
It has a bottom panel that pulls out where the crumbs fall. That's a nice feature also.
I definitely think people should give this toaster a try.
Thanks Hamilton Beach.

Best toaster out there!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using toaster ovens for 30 years I decided to get a toaster. I'm so glad I got this one. Beautiful Stainless Steel, it has thin wire grates that adjust to the size of the items in the toaster, holding them up so they toast evenly. It toasts the outside and lets the inside remain soft and chewy. It also has a high lift toast boost for smaller items, making them easier to grab!!!!!
Not only that, it has a removable crumb tray at the bottom. I'm calling this "The perfect toaster!"
Full disclosure; I received this consideration for my honest review. I'm so glad I did, and am recommending it to all my friends due to it's ability to toast extra wide to ultra thin items to absolute perfection.
I absolutely love it!!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's probably not much one can say about a toaster, but I have to admit that I like this one a lot. My last toaster I put away after each use, but this one is so elegant looking that I leave it out on my counter.
As for toasting, I've used it with bread, bagels and even hot dog buns and it toasts pretty evenly on both sides! That's huge.
If I had one complaint, it would be that it feels like tin rather than stainless steel. It's lightweight (almost feather light) and tinny feels comes across like it's cheaply made, however performance, and stylish-ness override that.
Surprisingly, even thought it's "just a toaster", I am impressed!

No Frills Toaster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toaster looks nice, has sleek finish. English muffins fit in slots, but my bagel had to be sliced in half. There are temp settings from 1 to 7. I used half-way setting at #4. Frozen white bread crust burned on edges, while center of bread was not toasted, in one cycle. My bagel did toast evenly. Unfrozen white bread also tended to burn on crust edges, but center did brown evenly. There is a crumb tray at bottom which was easy to use. However, the sides get very hot, would not recommend this with small children.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: I received this item as a promotion for free and for an honest review.
I received the Hamilton Beach (HB) Stainless Steel 2 slice toaster on 07/28/2017. The outer box was almost too large with insufficient air bag packing allowing the inner HB box to shift within. The HB inner box protecting the toaster itself was well packed and showed no signs of damage. Unpacking was a breeze. The box contained the packing, the toaster and a very small instruction sheet. I set the toaster on the counter for use the next day and sat down to read the instructions. The instructions were quite lengthy for such a small sheet and were mostly warnings of what not to do. I was surprised that the instructions said not to toast things like pop tarts or the like.

I was surprised that the instructions said not to toast things like pop tarts or the like.
The next morning I decided to try the toaster. (Note that the toaster will not latch without being plugged in which is noted in the instructions). As a new appliance I decided to run it for a short while WITHOUT any toast in it to clear it of any manufacturing residue. I am glad I did. There was a slight wisp of smoke and a quite hefty smell of burning oil. The very sides of the toaster remained very cool but the very top (where the hot air escapes) was quite hot (Again this was covered in the instructions). After a couple of minutes the smoke was gone and the smell lessened. I pressed the cancel button, the cages came up and shut the toaster off. I unplugged it and waited. After a few minutes, I plugged the toaster back in and put 2 bagel halves in it, set the selector at 3 and pressed the lever down. The oil smell was still present but significantly reduced. After a few minutes the bagels popped up browned and ready. (The browning can be adjusted to your desires. In this case, I will probably select a slightly lower value for a little less crunch in my bagel).
There is a small crumb tray that I have not used yet, but it is there. The cord can be wound around the base for more compact storage.
All in all this is a very good, small and light weight toaster. If I had to make any negative statement, it would be to have a 4 slice toaster.
Not bad at all though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Toasted items raised high for easy removal with no burned fingers
Large toaster slots which easily accommodate different sizes of breads and bagels
CONS
Lack of a "bagel setting" which would allow for toasting only the cut side of the bagel

Great Features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received my Hamilton Beach Toaster 2 days ago, and very impressed with it! At first glance, looks very sleek with stainless steel exterior. Made toast with regular sliced bread, and it turned out great! Adjustable browning control dial is nice to select how brown you would like your item! The cancel auto shutoff button is a great feature also. The extra wide
slots make it easier to accommodate English muffins, Bagels, waffles and more! Holds the items your toasting firmly, and high lift feature does make it easier to reach smaller items. Easy slide out crumb tray is a breeze to clean out crumbs! No more shaking toaster upside down to remove crumbs! I'm very impressed with all features this toaster has to offer, and wipes clean with no effort!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toasting time seems long. Crumb tray is in the back, so need to turn it around to clean.
