This toaster is so beautiful. It looks amazing on the counter but you have to be wise about how much space a 4 slice toaster will take up. Luckily our coffee machine is very slim in comparison. I love that there's a bagel option. Wish there was a manual that showed you how dark your toast would be for each number on the dial. Could have sworn I saw it as one of the picture slides when purchasing but we learned thehardware. 3.5 is the perfect toast. Haven't tried cleaning yet. I imagine since it's stainless steel, it may need something else less standard to keep it shiny but it's a toaster, the only thing we touch is the little lever. Highly recommend the toaster.
I have been searching for a good toaster for months now! I thought this was it. It’s super sleek looking and sturdy - but unfortunately it does not get the bread darker - had to do each slice twice - regardless of which setting I used. I ended up returning it. Search continues!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there, and thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. We know how important a good toaster is, and are glad you like the sleek and sturdy design of this model. However, we truly hate to hear you had an issue with the bread not getting as dark as you prefer and had to toast each slice twice. We know that must have caused frustration.
We designed this toaster to have several toast options with 7 shades of doneness from light to dark, to fit a variety of preferences. We regret that it was not dark enough for you, and will certainly send your feedback to our Design team for review. We value your insights, as we always want to ensure we’re aware of what our consumers think of our models. If you had still had the toaster, we also have information in the use and care manual on the settings, as well as troubleshooting and the limited warranty information, which may have helped; that is linked here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-9000001-2.pdf .
We are happy to assist if you have any other concerns or questions, and wish you the best! -Sarah@GEA
Love the 3 options - there is also a way to pull up the item you are toasting so you don't have to reach in to get it out. A simple button to cancel when you are done toasting. We love it!
