Disappointing results
1/5
It's hard to understand the high ratings and positive reviews for this product. It looks nice, but is definitely more bulky than necessary. The toaster often sends slices flying out, falling either in front or behind the toaster due to the force of the pop up action. This happens with all bread types - regular sliced, bagels and artisan loaves. Toasting can also be inconsistent, often with burned edges appearing or sides being toasted unevenly.
I bought this especially for toasting artisanal bread due to the long slots. Shorter slices still need to be fished out with tongs as although the resting height of the bread is quite high, there's no way raise the toast up further to get shorter slices out easily. Unfortunately it does not do well for the purposes it was purchased.
