Haier TST850DS Die-Cast Stainless-Steel 2-Slice Toaster

First off, it's not 11 lbs as the description says more like 2 or 3. Heavy duty construction yet light weight, looks cool, air cooling vents, toaster does not eat up on the exterior, screens holds bread in center so bread toasts evenly, quiet pop-up, toasts quickly, setting for frozen stuff and bagels, settings easily adjusted, etc. This is the one to buy. I've only used it a few times so far, so I don't know how durable it is but so far I'm very impressed. Highly recommended.

I did some searching of various reviews of older-style looking toasters and this suited my price range and had enough features too. The cancel button is nice as you learn how high to turn the dial for toast etc. and with the english muffin or bagel setting you can toast the inside but not the crusty part....sweet! It takes a short while, but better that than constantly burning things like our old toaster (or waiting an eternity like our toaster-oven) it seems well regulated in the levels of toasting if you follow what I mean. There's a frozen button we have yet to explore- we have only had it a couple weeks if that, but also I like the medium size very much- not too large on the counter... hope that helps. PS:- it was sent immediately- terrific job!

I bought my beloved Sunbeam at an auction for 25 cents about 8 years ago. It has led a happy life, spoiling me and - no doubt - its previous owner(s) with perfect toast, slice after golden slice. I had to find another one that would, hopefully, last another 56 years! I read all the customer comments and opted for the Haier. It's a dandy, both in style and function. Toasts beautifully and looks great on my counter top with its classic 50's styling. I couldn't be happier with my choice and the price is unbeatable. I strongly recommend you consider this toaster if you want top quality at a fair price. As for my Sunbeam...it deserves a rest after so many years of perfect toast.
