Hamilton Beach Contemporary 2 Slice Toaster with Wide Slots, Bagel Function, Toast Boost, Auto Shutoff, Steel Blue

I have toasted bagels, poptarts, and english muffins every day since I purchased it, with no problem. Before buying this product, I read all the comments by those who purchased the small plastic toaster that comes in colors but the plastic on the top melts when the toaster gets hot. Always buy a stainless steel top like this particular one. This toaster performs as it should. The round knob controls the temperature and will pop-up when ready. The bottom opens up for cleaning crumbs. The instruction booklet that is packed with the product (yes I read it 🤪) suggests to unplug when not in use. That's exactly what I do. The cord is short and I don't have issue with that because almost every kitchen countertop has at least one convenient outlet—I have two. The toaster is a compact size so it's perfect, exactly as shown, and at a great price. I do recommend it.

toaster is really nice, easy to use, has several settings on side from very light to darker brown toasted bread. does have a cancel button i discovered on side by controls. cancel it pops up, so can be checked. can toast bread or wide for bagels. really nice and inexpensive. well worth price.
