Toastmaster T2040 Dual Control 4-Slice Toaster

Pros: Doesn’t take up much space on the counter; does a fair job in toasting.
Cons: Isn't always 100% reliable in its toasting abilities; has a "pretty blue flare", explained below.

I guess I was spoiled by my previous toaster that I received as a gift 20 years ago. I used that toaster everyday for the entire 20 years, 7 months that I had it. So when the day came that it heaved its last breath, the first thing I did was think ...

Pros: looks very elegant, doesn't smudge as much as most white appliances
Cons: toasts slowly and inconsistently, only toasts the surface, odd textures, poorly designed cancel

There are certain things I expect from a toaster. I expect the heating elements to turn red when the toaster is in use, providing a visual cue that it's working. I expect the toaster to let me find the right setting and retain that setting from that ...

Pros: Nice idea.
Cons: Simply doesn't work well.

With three kids, a four-slot toaster is a must in our household. Unfortunately, we didn't do any research before we headed to the store and just picked this one out because it was the cheapest on the shelf. There's a reason it was so cheap. This is the ...

Pros: Big slots, dual controlled, Toasts 4 slices at once.
Cons: It quits working properly in just a few short months.

The very first toaster my husband and I ever had was a small 2 slice toaster that we received for a wedding gift. We used that toaster for about 12 years.Our family was growing bigger so we decided it was time to get a new bigger toaster. Our other ...

Pros: cheap
Cons: cheap

We just bought this toaster in the silver/black color. Sorry to say this was the only reason we bought the toaster other than it being 4 slotted. We recently changed our kitchen decor and were looking for the all black/stainless look. Being that ...

Pros: "Looks" well made, and probably will last a long time.
Cons: Doesn't work worth a darn!

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how this product ever got to market. I mean, did it go straight from the drafting board (of an engineer who'd never designed a toaster) to the store shelves? Didn't they build a prototype and try it out to see...

Pros: Nice Looking box. Pop Tart Feature.
Cons: Handle will not stay down unless you slam it.

You need to be a pro wrestler to slam the handle down hard enought for the toast to stay locked in the toast position.
The quality seems to be just fine and the design is very nice, but I have a hard time not knocking it off the counter when I give...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Quit working, and it has it's own mind when to pop up.

I had one for about a month, being single I toasted approx. two loafs of bread, and one side quit working. For a family, probably wouldn't last a week. Don't waste your time and money buying this.

Do not buy, It does not perform like it should. Toast are not browned even when set at darkest setting. It does not let you push the toast back in again when it pops up, you have to wait before you can pop the bread in again. Very frustrating.

Everything falls through the Grid on the inside! The poptart label on the dial is tacky.In order to stop the taosting mechanism, you have to really pull the lever back up, thus casuing your food to slide through the "auto toasting grid"

Pros: Good design
Cons: Toasting is uneven from one side to the other.

Good looking unit but is not good at doing what is should be doing, push down on the lever and take notice that one side is closer to the heating element than the other, hence one side is toasted more than the other, if one side is perfect chances are the other will be burned.
