GE 2-Slice Toaster with Extra Wide Slots and Removeable Crumb Tray, Stainless Steel

Researched various toaster options before deciding to replace our 20 year old GE toaster with this one. ( The light-dark knob and cancel button on the old one had stopped working.) This fit the bill because it offered the functions we used (frozen, bagel, cancel, and toasting setting) in an attractive but not overstated design that fit well with our kitchen. All functions work as advertised. I'm delighted that I can now have a piece of light or medium toast without standing over the toaster to manually stop it at the right time. It heats up nicely and toasts quickly. I like that the cord can be guided through brackets underneath the toaster to shorten it and allow it to come out from the back. Also, the leaver can be raised a bit to grab the ready toast, so no more fishing the toast out with a wooden stick. This toaster is a bit lighter in weight than our older one but it still has a substantial feel. Wipes clean nicely. The price was a bit high but it had the features we wanted and our other GE laaaaasted, so we felt OK about going with a known brand. Happy with the purchase. Delivered promptly by WalMart.

So far, so good. We have only had this toaster for a short time, and as they say, "time will tell," but as of now, we are happy with it. All of our bread is home-baked, and slices aren't perfect as with store-purchased bread, but this toaster handles it all very well. I find even on the darkest setting, toast is not quite dark enough for our preference, but very easy to set at a lower setting for a brief period, and then it is just right. Before this purchase, we had tried two toasters from a different manufacturer. They worked so poorly that we returned them. We have high hopes that this toaster will last for a long while.
