Beware! This is the most flimsy toaster made of plastic. It broke after using a few times.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It Toasts. The range of toasting levels seems pretty wide. It doesn't turn into a bicyce or skateboard.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far meeting my expectations, all positive. It blends with my kitchen countertop (granite) and is the least expensive item in my Siematic kitchen.
It's ok but when it comes to toasting bagels, it doesn't do it evenly all the way around. And no sign of which way to put the bagels in the slots.

We're sorry to hear the 2-Slice Compact Plastic Toaster did not toast your bagels evenly. For the best results when using the Bagel feature, place the cut sides of the bagel facing inward toward the center of the toaster, as the Bagel function is designed to add time and direct more heat to the cut surface. If uneven browning continues, trying a different browning setting may help achieve more consistent results. Thank you for sharing your feedback, which is appreciated and will be shared with our team as we continue improving our products and user instructions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a simple, easy to use toaster, that does a great job with bagels and bread. While there are plenty of toaster options available, this modestly priced toaster has the right performance. I also like that it has good size buttons making it good for older adults.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes forever to toast! Even on 7 (highest setting) the toast is only lightly browned. Not at all happy with this.

We're sorry to hear your 2 Slice Compact Plastic Toaster is not producing the browning results you expected. To help improve performance, we recommend ensuring the toaster is plugged directly into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord and trying a few consecutive toast cycles, as some units may require additional time to reach optimal operating temperature. If the toaster continues to produce only lightly browned toast on the highest setting, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901111923 so we can further assist. Thank you for sharing your feedback; your comments will be passed along to the appropriate team as we continue working to improve our products and consumer experience.
It's no great shakes. I set it on the highest setting and my toast is only part done.

We're sorry to hear your 2 Slice Compact Plastic Toaster is not achieving your desired level of browning, even on the highest setting. For best results, try using the toaster on consecutive cycles for thicker breads, ensure the crumb tray is clean, and verify the bread is centered in the slots, as these factors can impact toasting performance. If the issue persists, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901101094 for further assistance. Thank you for sharing your feedback; we appreciate your comments and have forwarded them to the appropriate team.
The toaster works a bit differently from my last Cuisinart toaster and is built with lighter weight plastic. The controls are fine but the crumb drawer is in the back of the unit instead of the front as in my last toaster. Now I have to turn the toaster around whenever I want to empty it.
