Haier TST240SS Stainless-Steel Long-Slot 4-Slice Digital Toaster

I saw a toaster with a single long slot used on a TV cooking show once and have wanted to get one ever since. I do a lot of baking, including baking rustic breads. Because they are rustic loaves, slises usually do not fit in regular length toaster slots. Then I saw this baby. Not only is it a long slot toaster, but it has two of them. I was sold. I ordered one right away. In fact I had to wait because Amazon had not yet relieced them for shipping.

Upon arrival, I was not disappointed. It worked just as I had hoped. Not only does it work great for long slices, but it is the best toaster I have ever had period. Once you learn what settings to use for a given type of bread, be it plain old white, wheat, bagels, english muffins, etc., all you have to do is use that setting next time and it turns out perfect. I have not tried the warming rack yet, but I don't see any reason why it would not work great as well.

If you love toast. Buy this toaster.

My wife bakes bread which tends to be too long for a standard size toaster so I ordered this long slot toaster and am very happy. The browning control adjusts the number of blue lights from 1 to 10 with 5 being the default. The lights count down as toasting progresses so with a glance you can see how much longer before done. It's nice looking and has a pop up warming rack. The only negative is no bagel setting where only one element heats, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

Love this toaster. It looks great- elegant and slim.

Very easy to use- love the digital aspect. Just turn the knob to change the settings.

I don't think I'll use the bun warmer, but it is a pretty neat feature!

Highly Recommended!

UPDATE:
Had to mention two more things:
The small "footprint" is fantastic. Takes so little room on the counter compared to other four slice/two slot toasters!

It works FAST! Adding this because just two days ago, to my surprise, I found myself saying outloud, "Wow, that was fast!" Watch the settings, though- 2 dots or 3 dots, most, will brown that toast!

Oh yeah- my three teenagers all think it's "awesome" for what that's worth!
