Rounded and plump, this two-slice toaster from Rival fits the bill for one or two people. Thick bagels fit handily into the 5-by-1-1/8-inch slots, while self-centering guides keep bread slices of any thickness evenly spaced from the heating elements. One simple dial rotates to select the desired browning setting, while a snowflake icon indicates the defrost setting. If a piece of toast gets stuck the toaster automatically shuts off; if toast browns too quickly, hitting the cancel button stops the process. An extra-lift lever raises the carriage for easy removal of small pieces. Two-tone, cool-touch housing makes the toaster moveable even during toasting, and a slide-out crumb tray facilitates cleaning. The toaster measures 10 by 8 by 7 inches and is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

It promptly burned my toast to a crisp. I needed to open a window before the fire alarm sounded, due to the smoke.
In the maker's defense, this model is intended for people who also use a toaster for things such as frozen waffles, etc.

I did; however "1" ejects the bread much too soon and doesn't even make it crisp, and "2" toasts but not to the average color and texture I prefer. And I'm sincerely not being picky, this toaster simply does not function to a degree suitable for anyone. Well, unless you don't care if your toast is: (choice A) not...Read more
