Waring WT200 Professional 2-Slice Toaster, Brushed Stainless Steel

This was purchased at a local department store, and as I was comparing this toaster to others in similar price ranges: Oster, Black and Decker, I needed to find a specific aspect of the Waring Pro WT400 that justified the most expensive price tag there.

Don't hesitate to buy this toaster. It is great quality, stainless steel throughout with no cheap plastic sides like so many stainless models. It toasts evenly with light to dark dial. It has a very nice defrost feature which actually defrosts, not toasts.Wide slots for bagels with a bagel toasting feature that will toast inside but not exterior of the bagel. It is a bit large and industrial looking, which I like. A really well made stainless steel toaster at a reasonable price.

We bought this toaster based on the good reviews on Amazon. We were not disappointed. The toast is toasted evenly and we have been pleased.
