West Bend 77222 Toaster 2 Slice QuikServe Wide Slot Slide Through with Bagel and Gluten-Free Settings and Cool Touch Exterior Includes Removable Serving Tray, Silver

This is way better than expected. It makes perfect toast and then shoots it out of the front bottom!Is that a novelty, well yes, but it’s a cool one and very practical too.Just load it up, and slide down the lever on the side.I have made bagels and burger buns too, and they all come out really really well!The footprint is not that large but it is pretty tall.The side flap needs to be lowered to allow for the toast or bun to exit.It’s pretty sturdy and well made and a bargain for the price.It heats up fast from cold.All in all, a great toaster. Note; It will only do 2 slices or bun slices at one time but its quick to toast and reload.

We were looking for a wide slot toaster that was slim and compact for our RV. There is limited counter space and storage space. The first time we used it, we had it under the cabinet and the cabinet was getting quite hot. So, when in use, make sure you move it out from under the cabinet. It is very easy to use, seems sturdy and the toasting is perfect. I love the appearance, compactness and easy to stow away. I highly recommend for small spaces.

In the advertisement, this toaster looks fantastic. It appears to be a slide toaster and a pop-up toaster. Additionally, it has a thin design that allows you to toast two bagels next to each other in less area and has a control panel to adjust the toast's appearance.I'm disappointed that it's bigger than I anticipated. The mechanism releases the toast onto the tray by plunging down to unlock a trap door beneath it, rather than just popping them out. The plunger on this primarily plastic toaster is primarily decorative and does not really pop toast; instead, it functions as a changeable weak point mechanism.The cleanup is simple, but if you want to make a grilled cheese or quesadilla sandwich, you'll have work to do.I suppose it's energy efficient because I occasionally have to toast the bread more than once to get it to a golden brown. The provided examples demonstrate how the toaster will cook bread unevenly when used for the first time. However, if bread is inserted into the toaster sideways and given time, the toaster will begin to toast the bread uniformly.Since the device doesn't pop up, anything that is too large or too rigid won't fit through to the bottom tray, which is necessary. There are no attachments that fit into this toaster to make grilled sandwiches or other foods.If this toaster isn't going to spring toast upward, the cancel button should have included a start button, in my opinion. Additionally, this toaster is too big for a kitchen table to operate without the tray open.

this seems like an excellent buy! but don't look for it to save counterspace! it takes up as much space as two toasters really, but i still think it's an excellent buy, despite that! i like the single slot design allowing for larger slices of bread , and that it also comes in stainless steel is nice! overall a very cool toaster!

Easily the best toaster I have had in 20+ years.Cons.2nd toasting is much darker than first toasting.harder to push downlarge slices don't toast as evenonly 2 slicesshort power cordPros.good temperature control (clickly)Even toasting99% of the time toast slides out bottomLoud clunk lets you know when its doneSimple design.relatively fast toastingeasy clean upminimal counter spaceMy favorite toaster is no longer made and becoming a collectors item. This is faster and toast better. the bottom eject is obviously the best feature. Its harder to push down than most, fine for an adult but might be hard for younger kids. Has a loud clunk when it ends which I think is a plus. Large rye pieces tend to stick out the top if cooking 2 at time, this happens with many toasters. You can just toast 1 piece of a time.Because the toaster is warmer the first batch will be lighter than following batches. Turning the toaster down 2-3 clicks is a must after the first batch if you want consistent toasting. I like the clicky temperature dial. Gives you more consistent results. i do wish there were better marking but honestly you can make your own if you need. I do wish the toaster could be mounted to the wall but it takes up less space than most 2 slice toasters.I have only used it for about a month, but will update this if my impression changes or if it breaks.

Was great for the first year or two but then it broke. It would not drop the toast down through the bottom. Ended up switching Grandma back to a regular toaster but at first it was amazing.
