Amazon Basics 4 Slice Toaster, 6 Browning Settings, Removable Crumb Tray, Bagel and Defrost Function, Cancel Button, 1600W, Black

I am very impressed with the quality of this toaster! Handsome design. Works great! Incredible value for the price!

Once upon a time I procured my first 4-slice toaster from an estate sale for about $5.00. It became my forever toaster, until it didn’t. When one side stopped working I yearned to replace it.A nice looking Cuisnart CPT-142P1 caught my eye, and I promptly purchased it from Amazon. You must understand that I enjoy a bagel from time to time, and prefer it toasted like the local Bagel Shop toasts them. Well the Cuisnart toasts both sides of the bagel. So why does it have a bagel button on it? I can burn the back side of my bagels in the normal toaster mode just fine. So back it went.As my original toaster was a Kenmore it was decided to stick with a proven brand, what could go wrong? So off the order went for a Kenmore toaster. It toasted bagels properly; however it took 6 minutes whereas the old Kenmore did the job in 3 minutes. Come to find out it was slow in all modes. The elements didn’t even seem to light up. It’s a good thing Amazon loves returns. Off it went.Next I ordered an Amazon Basics 4-slice toaster. I’ve run the preliminary tests, and finally I think my new forever toaster has arrived. Sorry for all the returns Amazon, but you’re not getting this one back.The EndReply from Aunt Irene:Your toaster saga is a testament to the ups and downs of finding the perfect kitchen appliance. It sounds like a true journey of trial and error! It's interesting how even small features like a "bagel button" can make a big difference in your satisfaction with a product. The Amazon Basics 4-slice toaster seems to have finally hit the mark for you. Enjoy your perfectly toasted bagels!

Love this toaster. Works well especially with a family who loves toast and bagels and such. We can toast for everyone in at the same time. Good size and easy to use. Slots a tiny bit small, but so far no problems with anything. I’ve used it for sourdough, bagels, hamburger buns and it’s holding up. And surprising light weight for how big it is.

Bagels fit easily and toasts great

What a great looking toaster. Works like a toaster, but looks really good on the counter.

It's a great toaster and it matches the other kitchen gadgets.

Finally a toaster that toasts properly! This is a bargain for the money paid

This toaster is really large and the buttons you push down to start the toasting are very flimsy. I opened the package late, but if I could I would return this. The upside… it does toast your items. The knobs to start the toasting product seem really flimsy. Not the best item in my opinion.
