Oster 3905 4-Slice Retractable Cord Toaster, Black

 (14 customer reviews)

After reading a number of reviews on various 4 slice toasters, I was a little worried about purchasing one. I was pleasantly surprised by the Oster 3905. The unit performed admirably toasting all 4 pieces of toast evenly and QUICKLY. I would recommend this toaster for anyone requiring a 4 slice toaster and on a budget.

Pros: FAST toasting, retractable cord, bagel feature, price, wide slots.
Cons: One set of toast may not toast at the same rate as the other. Who Cares....adjust the darkness setting accordingly!

It would only toast one side of the bread, it often smoked and overheated, and it finally just flat out died only a year and a half after I bought it. I actually did the happy dance around the kitchen when I could toss it into the trash. I decided I was really going to do my homework when buying my next toaster. So I read umpteen reviews and I heeded Consumer Report's reviews of toasters. Based on Consumer Report's word, I bought their lauded Haier TST850DS. I thought for sure I had finally found a winner. Nope. The Haier toaster only toasted at one level -- super light, bread still semi soft -- no matter what number you selected on the dial. I turned that sucker up to the highest level and still got the same result: chewy,...Read more

Poor choice, would not recommend. Toaster toasts only one side well. Otherside is under toasted. This happens every time regardless of slot used. Increasing toast setting burns one side before other side is toasted nicely. No way to win with this one... Worst toasting toaster that I have seen in a long time..
