The best toaster of any size I have ever had! Whether it was toast, bagel or English muffin, it was perfect every time. The added bonus was that it didn’t take up much space on the counter.
I was hesitant to purchase a plastic toaster after my steel version that lasted 20 years. However, this little machine has been working great. Light and consistent; I'm very happy with the choice.

It toasts, unevenly; control dial feels about to fall off. This is the third one of this model we’ve owned The first one we sent back immediately because it toasted only one side in one of the slots. Second one did exactly the same but we decided to live with it. I don’t have high hopes for the longevity of this one, but Wirecutter recommends it, all things considered.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the 2 Slice Compact Plastic Toaster—we’re sorry to hear about the uneven toasting and control dial concerns, especially after multiple units. For more consistent results, we recommend placing bread centered in the slots, avoiding overly thick slices, and ensuring the crumb tray is clean and properly seated, as buildup can sometimes affect performance. We understand your frustration and would like to learn more to better assist and review your experience.

Just got this new toaster and haven’t used it yet. Looks great. I like that it is designed for bagels and Texas toast. I purchased the black one to match other kitchen appliances. Looking forward to using it but been out of town so it’s just looking pretty. Ive had their coffee makers for the past dozen years with the last one lasting almost 6 years making 2-3 pots a day and I just replaced it at the same time. I’ve been happy and satisfied with their products and service when needed. Highly recommend them.
