Amazon.com Review
Here's a toaster than puts power breakfasts within any family's reach. Bread, bagels, waffles, English muffins--anything up to about 1-1/4-inch thick that benefits from toasting goes into the toaster's 10-inch-long slot two at a time and slides automatically onto a tray ready to serve. Because of its versatility, West Bend calls this The Ultimate Toaster. It could be called The Convenient Toaster, as well. Turn a knob to select six toaster settings, from light to dark. To toast bagels on one side only, push a button. Change your mind? Push the cancel button, and the toaster halts immediately. The hard, white plastic exterior wipes clean with a damp, soapy cloth. And crumbs land on the tray, where they can be mopped up. If you need to free counter space, the cord stores underneath. --Fred Brack

Summary: I Love this Toaster Why isn't it still available 2007-05-07
Comment: I have had this toaster for almost 4 years and I like it. I like having the bagel or english muffin sliding out the bottom instead of trying to pry it out from the top. My sister wants one and I have not been able to find one for her, I would not mind purchasing another one as a back up because realistically I know it won't last forever.

Summary: Superior Toaster 2007-01-10
Comment: I cannot understand all these negative reviews, I have had this toaster for 2 or 3 years and find it a delight everytime I use it. I used to hate digging down with a fork to get english muffins out. The product has never once failed in any fashion all these years.And crumb clean up with a sponge beats turning a toaster upside down and shaking it.

Summary: Toasts fine until... 2002-03-16
Comment: This toaster was perfect for the space I had. Too bad it didn't keep working. First the toast started to brown unevenly, then the slide thru feature failed. There is NO way to get it out but to dig it out - or turn it upside down. I only had it for about 4 months before we had to invest in a different toaster.

Summary: did not like toaster 2002-02-27
Comment: I knew it was to good to be true.
It did not release the toast into the tray when it was done.
I also noticed in the manuel, it said to trim the edges of the bread before inserting in toaster. Who has time to do that?
Very disappointing product.

Summary: viva la difference! 2002-02-24
Comment: i give this unique TOaSter 4 stars, but im not very picky. as soon as i saw the ad with eggos cascading down the pristine white tray, i was in luv. the machine took me back to my college days when, super fit and carefree, i had time to wait for an english muffin to coast its way down the giant antiquated slide-thru commercial toaster we had in the student cafeteria. the real thing was stainless steel and cud handle about ten slices of bread at a time. unlike the west bend, designed for residential use, i think the pieces mustve made their way down by gravity alone. mebbe the moisture in the untoasted bread helped it adhere to the chamber and get the proper exposure to the hot coils, much the same way as a sweaty bottom makes a kid stick to a park slide. as the bread toasted and dried out, it started a slow decline to the bottom against a gently sloping metal waterfall. its a lot like waiting for your luggage to show up in the airport carousel. half the suspense was vying with the other students for the slice that was yours--hopefully it was the one that was done! the west bend operates on a wire bread basket that springs open at the selected time, but like the real thing, it tends to take somewhat longer to toast than a standard pop-up toaster--particularly for fresh bread--probably cuz the slot is wide to accept thicker items such as BAgeLs and the case is heat-resistent plastic that can get damaged by intense heat. so far im satisfied with its performance. even if it has shortcomings, the sleek designer appearance and professional concept cant be beat. it actually makes toasting fun and rather upper-class. just butta that right on the tray, tah, tah! i predict it will be a collectors item one day.
