West Bend QuikServe Toaster, 2-Slice Wide-Slot Slide-Through Bread Toaster with Bagel and Gluten-Free Settings and Cool-Touch Exterior Fast Toasting, Includes Removable Serving Tray, 1400-Watts, Silver

This is way better than expected. It makes perfect toast and then shoots it out of the front bottom!Is that a novelty, well yes, but it’s a cool one and very practical too.Just load it up, and slide down the lever on the side.I have made bagels and burger buns too, and they all come out really really well!The footprint is not that large but it is pretty tall.The side flap needs to be lowered to allow for the toast or bun to exit.It’s pretty sturdy and well made and a bargain for the price.It heats up fast from cold.All in all, a great toaster. Note; It will only do 2 slices or bun slices at one time but its quick to toast and reload.

Great toaster. I love that bagels, toast, etc drop out of the bottom. It toasts quickly and the adjustable darkness is fairly accurate. The only slight negative is it’s a little bigger than anticipated. However, overall, we are very happy with it.

In the advertisement, this toaster looks fantastic. It appears to be a slide toaster and a pop-up toaster. Additionally, it has a thin design that allows you to toast two bagels next to each other in less area and has a control panel to adjust the toast's appearance.I'm disappointed that it's bigger than I anticipated. The mechanism releases the toast onto the tray by plunging down to unlock a trap door beneath it, rather than just popping them out. The plunger on this primarily plastic toaster is primarily decorative and does not really pop toast; instead, it functions as a changeable weak point mechanism.The cleanup is simple, but if you want to make a grilled cheese or quesadilla sandwich, you'll have work to do.I suppose it's energy efficient because I occasionally have to toast the bread more than once to get it to a golden brown. The provided examples demonstrate how the toaster will cook bread unevenly when used for the first time. However, if bread is inserted into the toaster sideways and given time, the toaster will begin to toast the bread uniformly.Since the device doesn't pop up, anything that is too large or too rigid won't fit through to the bottom tray, which is necessary. There are no attachments that fit into this toaster to make grilled sandwiches or other foods.If this toaster isn't going to spring toast upward, the cancel button should have included a start button, in my opinion. Additionally, this toaster is too big for a kitchen table to operate without the tray open.

Very fast, very efficient. I’ve only used it a few times so far, but I’m very happy with it. It wasn’t until after using it twice that I realized it wouldn’t be a good idea under the cabinet (as pictured), but very little heat had transferred to the underside of the cabinet. Personally I’ll probably pull it out when I use it from now on, just to be safe, but I think it would work just fine directly under your cabinets. Clearance isn’t a problem, either. There’s plenty of room from the top of the toaster to the bottom of the above cabinet. Still, if you choose to use it directly under a cabinet be careful. Like I said, there wasn’t a lot of heat transferred, but different finishes can produce different results, so keep an eye on it.As for the toaster itself, it worked great at reheated some frozen waffles I had made earlier. They even came out with a little extra crispiness that my previous toaster couldn’t provide. They were evenly heated (5 - medium) without much change in color. I haven’t tried toast, but if this thing can handle a waffle with care then I think toast would be no problem at all.Make sure you follow the instructions - it’s like one page of info so there’s no reason not to. Use it empty on high power before actually toasting anything. After this first round I noticed a tiny drop of pink machine lube on my counter. It must’ve shot out when the toasting ejector had activated. This stuff stinks and needs to be burned off. You don’t want it on your food.Hope that helps. I was a little on the fence because of some negative reviews, but I haven’t seen anything yet to make me not love this toaster. It’s perfect. And the price is on point. If you’re like me and considering getting a high-end toaster ($100) - DON’T. At least not without giving this one a try first. I’m very happy with my purchase.

We were looking for a wide slot toaster that was slim and compact for our RV. There is limited counter space and storage space. The first time we used it, we had it under the cabinet and the cabinet was getting quite hot. So, when in use, make sure you move it out from under the cabinet. It is very easy to use, seems sturdy and the toasting is perfect. I love the appearance, compactness and easy to stow away. I highly recommend for small spaces.
