ONSON 2 Slice Toaster Stainless Steel,Bagel Toaster - 5 Bread Shade Settings,Bagel/Defrost/Cancel Function,Extra Wide Slots, Removable Crumb Tray, Stainless Steel Grill, Suitable for Croissants,and Various Bread Types (825W, Silver)

Not kidding....simply put, it's elegant, manufactured like a "solid state" piece of electronics [ nothing rattles when shaken]. Received mine today after two prior tries over a two month period of searching on Amazon. When I bought it, there were 22 previous sales with comments, all with 5 star reviews. I thought the reviews were "bogus". They weren't. In two days, there are now 32 sales with comments, all with 5 Stars. Now there is one more; mine is number 33. All reviews are comparatively current.This toaster, even though made in China, is an American bargain. Buy one now if needed, or as a gift. No joke nor bogus build-up.Had the toaster for two weeks now. I question the stated wattage of 825 based on my prior toasters.

I love golden brown bread with melted butter on it. I mean nothing like that.. haha. Now that you know how much I like my toasts, I'd like to tell you what is my biggest turn off from toasters. Cleaning and Quality. I mean they are all easy to use because the job is pretty simple but where this toaster stands out is how easy it is to clean and the superb quality of steel used not like sheet metal type material. It is slightly expensive but it is worth the price especially if you are going to use it daily like me.

For the price this is a very expensive toaster and it ought work as advertised, but after a week and after trying bagels, muffins and sliced bread I have yet to get it fully brown even on the maximum setting of 6. Everything I have toasted I have had to run through at least 2 toasting cycles, sometimes 3 times, just to get a little brown on the toast. The warming rack is a joke, it's just as well to lay the bread on top of the toaster, or even better I use my toaster oven to warm the croissants. In the end it's overpriced, cheaply made and it doesn't work. I threw the box away so I am stuck for $40 with a bad toaster. I'll be getting another brand for sure.

What can I say? It's a toaster... Stainless steel finish is nice. Heating elements warm up reasonably evenly - as good as any other toaster in the price range. Toasting timer/setting works well and as expected. Cancel, Defrost, and Bagel buttons are useful. Toasts bread and English muffins very evenly and quickly. Much better than my toaster oven for toasting breads: fast, even, and uses less energy. Would buy it again!

A good toaster, I like the fact that it allows you to toast your bread to 5 SHADES. My 3 year old doesn’t like much browner or dark toasted bread so I don’t have to waste breads to suit her likings. Happy baby! Happy me! Basically, You can turn to the exact level of toasting you like. Toasting on both sides are ready in no time.The removable tray is easily removed and shaken off the crumbs So it makes the cleaning process super quick . It has made my morning job of making breakfast so easy .I am happy so far and will update the review if anything changes.

This toaster is awesome and shiny with a useful gift. It indeed provides 5 bread shade settings as described. I usually use the third to fourth shade settings depending on type of bread I am going to eat. It is really easy to clean as instructed. The gift is a stainless steel grill that I can use to warm something like croissants or other small bread. Hopefully it will last long enough and I will never have to claim the one year replacement warranty that comes with it.

If you love to gamble, buy this toaster! Over a period of three days, using frozen bread (unthawed) from the same loaf each day, I got burned toast, thawed bread, and finally, somewhat nice toast -- after watching it like a hawk. It appears that quite a few of the elements don't work or, if they do, some days they call in sick.

This one has much more of a traditional toaster feel to it rather than a new age cheap electronic one. Been using it for over a week now and had no issues, stainless steel gives a nice look to it too. I only use white bread so haven't had a chance to test out all the features. I think it will last a long time just going by the build, but if it's dead after a few months i will update the review.
