Toastmaster T2035W Cool Touch Bagel Toaster, White

In addition to being handsome, this toaster has the largest, deepest slots I have seen. Slices from my bread machine fit in it. The auto-shut off feature elininates my concern about the heavy slices not rising, since the unit shuts off even when jammed. It toasts great and the slide out crumb tray makes cleaning a snap. I love it!

We have this toaster in the kitchen at work, and recently, I've taken to bringing in a box of pop-tarts to munch on. I was amazed (and a bit amused) to find that this toaster actually has a pop-tarts setting, and so instead of eating my pop-tarts raw, I tried it. Twice. The first time, the corner of my pop-tart got wedged in-between the heating element and the side when the toaster popped up. I managed to rescue 98% of my pop-tart, but I was unable to unwedge the corner. The second time, at least 5% of my pop-tart was wedged in places it shouldn't be, and the unit started smoking!

I imagine it might be a fine toaster for large items such as bagels, but, despite the brand name (complete with Kellog pop-tart font) setting just...Read more

I purchased this toaster to use at the office for toasting my breakfast bagel. My biggest gripe is that it takes about 4-5 minutes to toast a bagel to golden brown. Also, when the heating stops, the bagel doesn't always pop up automatically.

The bagel feature works by pressing a button after you have started the heating process. This turns off the outside elements, so you can get the inside of the bagel brown without burning the outside. I tend to use this near the end of the cycle, otherwise the outside of the bagel won't be crisp.

The style of 2035W is attractive and the price is fair, but I wish it worked faster.
