 Best toaster since sliced bread August 9, 2008
A. Leitstein (Florida)
I've had this product since 2001 and have had no problems. The crumbs all come out the bottom in the toast catcher tray keeping the toaster clean. The tray is easily removed and we do it after every toasting because it's so easy. It can toast one side of the bread, for bagels, or both sides. The settings have always given me the correct darkness. Of course it can't melt cheese on the bread but neither can any other toaster that toast bread vertically. Overall it's the best toaster I've had.

I love this product. The only complaint I have is that there is no crumb catch when using it for anything.

The toaster did a good job as far as toasting went. When finished, product would not drop through the bottom. Tried Bagels,English muffins, and bread. All behaved in a similar fashion.
 Doesn't heat January 22, 2008

I acquired this toaster by redeeming award points from my job. I'd be pretty miffed if I had spent money on this thing. As it is, I'm a little upset about wasting my earned awards on it.
Here's the bottom line. The ONLY benefit this thing gives over other toasters is the ability to toast long items such as rye bread slices or a slice of any elongated bread such as fresh from a bakery. This is also the only reason it earns two stars instead of just one.
Before I got this, I read reviews and descriptions, and was mistakenly under the impression that the bread moves gradually through the toaster until coming out toasted from the bottom; like a conveyor of sorts. It does not. It works exactly like any other toaster except the item being toasted falls through a pseudo-trapdoor instead of popping back up through the slot. The slot is no deeper than any other toaster, so if something sticks out the top of your existing toaster, it will in this one too.
The main problem I have with this toaster is not only does it not toast evenly (it will burn a "band" across the middle before toasting the top and bottom), but it toasts the outside very quickly without heating through. In other words, if like me, you like toasting frozen waffles, it will burn the outside while not even heating the waffle through. The waffle just doesn't get hot overall. It won't even melt a pat of butter.
My advice...unless you toast long/rye bread exclusively, stay away from this toaster. It is otherwise useless.
Disappointing toaster January 13, 2008
byrdloves2read (Signal Mountain, TN USA)
My experience with this toaster certainly was different from the other review. Even on the lightest setting, one corner of the bread burned. Also, if you have a large slice of bread it sits above the toaster and doesn't get toasted. I've gone back to the toaster oven I was using before. It may take longer but it does a better job.
