Hamilton Beach 24425 SmartToast Toaster

Pros: duel controls, wide slots
Cons: none that I could find

A couple of months ago my trusty bargain toaster, purchased ten years ago for 9.99, decided it was time to go into retirement. Not wanting to be without my morning bagel, (which I had to pound to a thinner thickness on the counter in order to get it to...

Pros: Toasts evenly, Easy cleanup, Stays cool outside
Cons: Hard to put toast back in immediately

Ok, Smart toast is a little overboard, but hey, this is a pretty good toaster. We've had it for about 2 years now, and it is still alive and toastin.

The toaster has 4 slots with dual controls. The dual controls are really nice, cause hubby...

Pros: Looks stylish, looks convenient
Cons: It isn't durable, it quits toasting (on both sides )while nearly new!

I bought this 4 slice smart toaster and loved it! Then, I had it just a while longer. Whoops! The toast is now toasted on one side and 'dead' on the other. I bought it because the concept of not waiting for what seems like forever to make two toasted...

Pros: Nice price, I love a toasted bagel
Cons: Nothing

I will have to disagree with the previous opinion. This is the best one I ever had. I love it because I make toast from store bought bread and it does a wonderful even toast job. It also is great for when I want to eat a toasted bagel. My main reason...

Pros: better than not having a toaster
Cons: uneven toast, hard to clean

I received the Proctor Silex Smart Toast 4 slice toaster as a wedding gift only a few months ago. In the past 25 years of my life I've had some bad toasters, but this one takes the cake. Overall lets remember, "It's a Toaster!" It serves a very...

Pros: Does not get hot
Cons: None

I received this toaster last year for Christmas. My husband bought it for me because he was sick and tired of hearing me complain that I wanted a toaster that I could put more than two pieces of bread in. Can you blame me? I have three children, one...

Pros: Holds large bagel halves, it's lightweight, it looks nice and it's inexpensive
Cons: The buttons that lower the toast always pop-up, you have to babysit it

Proctor Silex SmartToast 4 Slice Toaster
Lightweight for cabinet storage

It's too touchy, once you finally get a button to stay down, don't move - because it will pop right back up. You just have to hope it will stay down. It is so...

Pros: Big openings, makes 4 at a time, safe, easy to clean
Cons: See New Epinion, as this is how it rates at first, and THEN_____

I remember the days when I stood at the counter, trying to make enough toast to please everyone. It seems like it took forever. Now, I have my Proctor Silex 4 slice toaster, and I don't feel that way, at all. It is fast, makes toast evenly, and has...

Pros: Make breakfast easy
Cons: top can get hot

I bought this toaster, because I wanted to be able to fix 4 slices of toast at once, and I can honestly say I had never had a bagel, till i got this toaster.

It has 6 levels on it, so if you like light crust you can set it to 1, or for dark...

Pros: toasts correctly, accommodates anything
Cons: none

I have not had a lot of luck with toasters in my life but the SmartToast 4 Slice Toaster by Proctor Silex does the job!!

I was so sick of getting toast that wasn't brown enough or half burned, I chucked the last toaster we had so fast after we...

Pros: Different settings for each side, handles thick bread, even toasting
Cons: Odd shaped bread doesn't fit in (i.e., rye)

In my life, I have purchased and used many toasters. From the cheapest 2 slice model to expensive 4 slice ones. So far, this has been the best one I have used.

After nearly a year of use, it still toasts both sides of the bread evenly,...
