Elite Gourmet 2-Slice Cool-Touch Toaster, 1.25" Extra-Wide Slots, 6 Shades

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've been very happy with this Elite Gourmet 2-slice toaster. It toasts evenly, heats up quickly, and the different browning settings make it easy to get toast just the way we like it. It's compact, so it doesn't take up much counter space, but it's still big enough for bagels and thicker slices of bread. It looks nice, is easy to clean with the removable crumb tray, and has been reliable for daily use. Great value for the price!

Love this toaster for many reasons, the price was great, it's light to pickup and move. It's easy to clean out after every use. I turn it upside down over sink and give it a good shake & then pull out the bottom tray that's easy to remove, wash and replace. It looks good on the counter but can easily put away if you prefer. It toasts by the number you turn to. I use #3 it's a nice toast without being too dark.

The Elite Gourmet 2-Slice Cool Touch Toaster**is a pretty average toaster, but it gets the basic job done. It has 6 browning levels, which is nice if you like to control how light or dark your toast gets. In everyday use, it works reliably and toasts bread the way you’d expect without anything complicated. One feature I really like is the cancel button, which lets you stop the toasting early if the bread is getting done faster than expected. It’s simple, but it’s convenient and something I end up using often. The crumb tray is another good feature. It slides out easily, so cleaning the toaster is quick and simple. The only downside is that it fills up fairly fast, so you’ll need to empty it regularly if you use the toaster often. The 1.25-inch wide slots are helpful for thicker breads or bagels. They aren’t extremely wide, but honestly they feel about right—I can’t imagine them being much narrower without causing problems. Looks clean. I have the black one which goes well with black appliances. Overall, it’s nothing fancy, but it’s easy to use, easy to clean, and does the basic job of toasting bread well. If you’re looking for a straightforward toaster without a lot of extra features, this one works just fine.

We got this toaster after I looked at every one available on Amazon. It is good quality as far as materials and construction. It should last a long time. The biggest weak point for longevity may be the digital display but I won't know that until time goes by. The main reason we were replacing our old toaster was because it did not toast English muffins evenly and we would have to partially toast a muffin and then rotate it to finish off the untested part. This toaster was perfect for that initially but after a few weeks it is doing the same as our previous toaster so I have to rotate the muffin to get it all consistency toasted. I really don't need the digital display. And, it is hard to set the temp. The display/time does not react to the control knob changes so you have to fiddle with it while it jumps around. I'm not sure it will give as much time as every one might want for something that needs extra toasting. It goes to 3.5min and you have to put it down again and watch it to get more toasting. It is consistent except for the initial setting. We don't change the setting since we really only do muffins but if you wanted to change it all the time that might be an issue. It may just be the one we got but don't know. I tried using the button to give extra time for frozen items, like frozen waffles. It didn't seem to have any difference so I don't use it. It does pop items up fine (not too high). The clean out drawer for crumbs that fall down works like other toasters. I was disappointed in how hard it was to find a toaster with good ratings. This was the best for a reasonable price. Not totally happy though. I'm not sure why it toasted the whole muffin right originally but it doesn't now. It is still usable but it is an extra hassle.

Looked good but the first time I pushed the "toast lever" down it broke off. Got it to work using plyers, but it doesn't toast each side evenly. There are only 2 heating elements. Both on the outside....none in the middle...so you have to flip the bread over to toast both sides. Gonna pay the money and get a better one.

Some of the stuff I bought in Amazon is for my mom. She loves the toaster. She talk about the toaster every time I talk to her she told me she made bagels and all that she said is really good toaster she said it doesn’t burn her bagels or bread bagels and the English muffins don’t even toast. It comes out very evening and she is really thrilled so that’s why I gave her a five stars.

Does a good job, but is hard to regulate the doneness you want! The slightest movement can mean light or dark - SOMETIMES, other times it is fine. I about ready to get a new one - such a pain. Course this doesn't seem to manifest itself right away or you are just not sure how you set it - thus it past returning by the time you do.

Works fine although using the manufacturer’s guide to light/dark was totally off. It needs to be set higher than you might think. Overall satisfactory. The slots will accommodate a bagel.

Funciona bien para lo que está hecho, nada espectacular, una compra buena hasta ahora

This attractive and sturdy toaster makes perfect toast, with many levels of toasting. The reheat or warming arm is a great option to have.
