Hamilton Beach Contemporary 2 Slice Toaster with Wide Slots, Bagel Function, Toast Boost, Auto Shutoff, Stainless Steel

toaster is really nice, easy to use, has several settings on side from very light to darker brown toasted bread. does have a cancel button i discovered on side by controls. cancel it pops up, so can be checked. can toast bread or wide for bagels. really nice and inexpensive. well worth price.

I’m guessing I’m out of touch with what’s going on in the world but I remember when you could buy a toaster for $10/12 . This toaster was the least expensive one I could find. I like it’s compact size, that it has a cancel button and a bangle setting.

My old toaster was finished. I bought this one because it advertised all the features I was looking for. Will toast bagels as well as bread. It has a cancel button and has extra lift for shorter bread. It also has a darkness control knob. So far, I am happy with the purchase and would recommend for someone who does not need multiple daily toast.

I have toasted bagels, poptarts, and english muffins every day since I purchased it, with no problem. Before buying this product, I read all the comments by those who purchased the small plastic toaster that comes in colors but the plastic on the top melts when the toaster gets hot. Always buy a stainless steel top like this particular one. This toaster performs as it should. The round knob controls the temperature and will pop-up when ready. The bottom opens up for cleaning crumbs. The instruction booklet that is packed with the product (yes I read it 🤪) suggests to unplug when not in use. That's exactly what I do. The cord is short and I don't have issue with that because almost every kitchen countertop has at least one convenient outlet—I have two. The toaster is a compact size so it's perfect, exactly as shown, and at a great price. I do recommend it.

I've been looking for a toaster for a very long time. This little bargain toaster makes perfect toast! I tried more expensive toasters and returned them one after another because they couldn't even crisp the bread. This one is amazing. The bread turns out perfectly, from lightly toasted to dark and crisp, whatever your preference.

it matches my stainless steel and black appliances, plus it is easy to clean out the crumbs and food debris with the tray underneath. My last toaster had a burned toast smell because it was solid on the underside and impossible to reach the bread crumbs seeds and oats from multigrain bread that dropped down into the slots and turned to charred, smelly crumbs. This toaster smells just like toast is supposed to and doesn't stink up my kitchen when my spouse uses it for his toasted snacks

Hamilton Beach usually makes agood appliances, I bought the space saver Drip coffee maker which is lovely, this toaster is basic, and seems to do what its made for. The only thing else to know is tht becareful because the top outer surface get really super hot, let it cool before putting it away and definitely keep an eye when kids use it. I wouldnt recommend letting younger kiddos use it unsupervised THE TOP SURFACE GETS HOT🔥. And will burn you, The only plus to that is itll keep your toast warm nd butter melted afterwards

Very basic toaster. The slots are a bit short and part of the bread is often sticking out of the toaster. Toasters aren’t made the way they once were. . The toast boost is nice and the ability to set a toast level is Convenient. My main concern is it is very flimsy and I don’t think it’s going to last very long. I understand the need for a shorter electrical cord for safety, but this one is simply too short.

This Hamilton Beach toaster is worthless. It is 100% unreliable. The slots are too small to accept a regular sized slice of bread, and the upper part of the slice stays above the toasting area, so that part doesn't toast at all. It doesn't toast evenly when it toasts some. It partially toasts only one side of the slices, if it toasts at all, or it may absolutely char the slices black and inedible even when set to the lowest toasting level. Hamilton Beach should pay me for the slices that this toaster has charred, and I have had to throw away. I have bought many Hamilton Beach appliances, and right now, I have four different appliances with that label that are working fine, but this toaster was not made right. I don't know what it would do to a bagel, or to a doughnut or anything else. I was looking for a toaster to toast regular sized bread slices. The last toaster I had was was also Hamilton Beach, and was wonderful. I don't know why it quit, but it is not being made anymore. WHY? I don't feel like ever buying another Hamilton Beach item of any kind.

I would give this toaster 0 stars if I could expect it somewhat toasts the bread. Can't lift the handle to push the toast up to grab. The same number will give different toast results. The toast is always burnt on one side and not toasted on the other. Please buy any other toaster
