I bought this bread toaster for specific features like cancel, reheat, defrost and I'm happy with those functions. I'm still experimenting and struggling finding the correct number setting or sweet spot for browning breads. The other function that I struggle with is the bagel button. I would appreciate it if someone can tell me which way to insert the bagel or muffins when I use the bagel button and the expected results. I looked but couldn't find it in the user manual. When I read reviews from other toasters with bagel function, my understanding is that it would brown the cut side and keep the outside still soft but partly toasted.
Not sure how this will perform. After 2 weeks I had to turn the length of time required to toast the bread up another whole number just to get it toasted. Seems like it lost some toasting power right away. Hope it doesn’t continue because I can’t turn it up much more.
We decided to get a toaster when our old toaster oven broke. We enjoy the freed up counter space. The toaster is faster and this model toasts nicely. We especially like the price. The white matches our Cuisinart food processor and looks nice on the counter. We are very happy with it.
Worked ok for a week. Then, started to toast one side darker than the other. Now, it is burning the bread on any setting over 2. I will be sending it back.
Burns toast unless setting is carefully watched as it freely moves and does not “Cilick-in” at the desired setting. I either scrape or throw away a lot of toast.
