Oster 6331 Inspire 2-Slice Toaster, White

 (33 customer reviews)

With this toaster, actually very hard.

For plain, standard-size bread, this toaster performs so-so. The toasting is not very even- almost as if one or two of the heating elements aren't actually heating. I've looked inside while the machine is active and all *appear* to be functioning, but alas, it just doesn't even come close to toasting evenly.

The real issue with this toaster is the carriage, the little ledge that raises and lowers the toast. I guess someone at Oster decided that they could save money by making the metal piece slightly smaller, but what happens is that whatever you're toasting (pop tarts *especially*) slide off one side and then become impinged inside the toaster when the carriage pops up. This usually results in ten minutes spent digging out pop tart chunks with a fork. (After the toaster had been unplugged, of course!) Some of these chunks then stay caught in the unit because they are too big to filter down to the crumb tray...Read more

Bought one of these toasters couple of years ago and works fantastically well. We liked it so much that we bought another one recently for a family friend. The size is a bit small i.e. only for 2 toasts at a time but for its price its value for money. In conclusion, highly recommended toaster.

Bought this toaster a year ago and have had problems with it since the very beginning. When making toast, it would feel like the lever wasn't catching and so wouldn't work. Today, it finally gave out. I won't buy another one. Also, a bright blue light on the front face of the toaster is annoying, especially at night. And was bright enough to shine right into my bedroom. I usually left it unplugged.
