Mueller UltraToast Full Stainless Steel Toaster 2 Slice, Long Extra-Wide Slots with Removable Tray, Cancel/Defrost/Reheat Functions, 6 Browning Levels with LED Display, Housewarming Gifts New Home

This Mueller toaster is the best looking, beautifully finished, attractive small applince in my kitchen. The toasting quality is incredibly wonderful, easy to use touch-controls, easy to clean, & has a "full-length" slide-out crumb catcher-tray! Best of all, it can toast very large slices of bread, as well as being a wide-slot toaster, that most ordinary toasters cannot do both. Delivered & packaged excellently, & very pleased/satisfied with this incredible small appliance. Thank you.

Great toaster! Thin for limited counter space. Will accommodate a thick bagel or an extra long slice of specialty bread. Several settings (1-6) for your perfect preference. Cancel option to stop the toasting. It's attractive. The one slot model is thin for space saving. Easy removal tray for crumb clean up. It's a wonderful appliance.

Just started to use this toaster; only used it twice so far. So I deducted one star for that reason. Will revisit the rating later after I have toasted for a while.For the two times I have used it (frozen waffles), it was fine. Unique design; thin but long. I have never used a toaster with just one slot, so this is new to me. The one slot is nice and wide though, so not seeing why it won't work for me. Two waffles fit fine side by side.Toasted well. Nice stainless steel color. When using for the first time, strong smell, but that is explained on the instruction sheet. It goes away after toasting twice with no bread. Speed of toasting was fine. Reasonably sturdy; not overly lightweight or heavy.

This is my second toaster (same model). The first one lasted a good while but one of the wires inside burned out. I love the streamline look of it. The width accommodates bagels etc. The end product is always toasted perfectly!

Love this toaster it works great and fits most toastsble items

I really wanted to love this toaster, as the aesthetics are perfect. The size is perfect for my small countertop - takes up much less space than my previous unit. The stainless look matches my large appliances well. However - it does not toast very well! It varies on how it toasts depending on the type of break you put in. A regular sandwich slice seems to do okay most of the time, but a large sourdough slice (which is why I bought this style in the first place) does not do well at all. You are given 6 ranges of "doneness" to choose from. 1 and 2 barely get the bread warm. 3 isn't much better. 6 will burn the bread. That leaves you with 4 and 5, with not much difference between them. The large slice using 4 gets the end parts of the bread somewhat toasty, but the middle is barely warm. 5 isn't much better. Even using the "a little bit more" button doesn't accomplish much. The ends just get almost to the burnt stage, but still not much color in the center. My wife doesn't like the controls at all, but they don't really bother me. The coils in the center section seem to be getting hot, but why the bread doesn't get any color is puzzling. It's a shame. The look of the unit is perfect - just what I was looking for. The performance, however, is lackluster. I have used this for some time now, hoping that with a little use, it would do a better job. There has been no change.

Pro: Very nice toaster! Feels sturdy, looks great. The form factor allows for more room to be freed up on the counter as compared to traditional toasters. The size is very nice, and easily fits two slices of toast. Easy temp control.Con (?): As expected, you must run the toaster without anything inside before first use, which burns off the protective layers on the heating elements. This is normal, but fair warning that the smell is very strong, although it quickly decimates after even just one 2 minute run. Would recommend doing this burn off procedure outdoors or under a running air vent, as the chemical smell lingers for a while if not properly ventilated.

This is very different from any other toaster we've bought in the past. It's the first toaster I've used where you insert bread end-to-end. The slots are wide enough to accept crumpets and cut bagels and other products of similar size.I do like the stylish design and easy to understand LCD display. The toaster settings seem more powerful than normal toaster settings, I have to turn down the number more to get my desired toastiness. I prefer mine nearly burnt, so a setting of 3 or 4 (out of 6) is pretty accurate.The door at the bottom is removable which is nice. No more shaking the toaster out over a trashcan. Just remove tray and take it to the trashcan instead.It has a defrost feature. I tried it with 2 frozen pieces of toast stuck together but it just toasted the outside, leaving the pieces still stuck together and frozen in the center. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, I don't know. Anyway, defrosting... that's what microwaves are for. I also haven't used the reheat function and likely never will.OMG BAGELS!!! Why didn't I mention bagels??? I recently discovered bagels from Randall's and we have become addicted to them ever since. We have a problem, yes I know but I can't find and bagel support groups in our local area. Depending on the bagel size, this will somewhat do the job. Small bagels fit perfectly, but the larger asiago cheese bagels just won't fit. I have to toast those one-half at a time, then turn them over to toast the underside because they stick out an inch at the top. So I burn a few. Setting 4 is too high for bagels. Try 2 or 3. After this updated review I'm going to get a an asiago cheese and jalapeno bagel from the freezer and devour it with a crazy look in my eyes. You knew it, didn't you? No support group, remember?While it's all cool, sexy-looking and all that, I do have a few issues with it but only one major one:1. It's long and skinny, nearly twice the length of a normal toaster, so finding the perfect countertop space for it could be challenging.2. It has a very powerful spring action when the toaster pops. I've sometimes found my toast laying on the countertop or sideways across the toaster after it came out. I have even had it land both pieces in our sink on the garbage disposal... no I am not kidding. Perhaps designed by NASA to launch toast into outer space?3. The worst feature, although not a dealbreaker is it doesn't toast evenly. Meaning it will leave about a quarter of the toast untoasted or barely toasted at the bottom, noticeable by a dividing line between the toasted part and untoasted. I don't know why this happens, but it seems designed that way to frustrate people such as myself. I'll add a picture later to illustrate my point.4. You cannot flick up the handle a little bit after it's finished toasting to "pop out" stubborn or small toast like you can on a normal unit. It stops fully at the top. Once it's done, if it still 'aint reachable, then a game of Operation with a pokey object is in your immediate future.Other than that, it's a pretty good unit. If you want to play catch with your toast, or create uneven abstract toast-art, or even just admire your own reflection in the shiny finish, then this toaster is for you!
