Black & Decker T2569 2-Slice Toaster, White

At this price, this toaster is a great deal. The temperature setting knob is a little flimsy, but it definitely gets the job done. I've had it for 3 months now and it is used daily by 5 people and it's still going strong!

I should say first of all, that the toaster itself works fine, and we haven't had any problems with it from a reliability standpoint. I give it a one star rating, however, because of one baffling aspect. If you ever toast Pop-Tarts (or some other form of thinly sliced bread), then this toaster is the worst toaster you can buy. The Pop-tarts have a tendency to slip down into the toaster, and it is very difficult to get them out, as the spring loaded bread holder pins it in. Thus, you have to turn the machine over, shake all of the crumbs out, and basically get the Pop tart out one small piece at a time, all while you are burning yourself. As others have noted also, it does not pop other toasted items up high enough to get them. You usually have to jiggle the handle to get your item to "jump" out, and catch it. Avoid this toaster!

It toasts, but the extremely short cord is annoying and it doesn't pop up enough so things like muffins are hard to get out.
