Office Toaaster
I purchased this toaster for use in my office, so needless to say it gets a lot of use. Everyone loves it. The bagel feature is a big plus. Would definitely but the same one again.
What a wonderful toaster!
I know we just received this toaster yesterday and used it the first time this morning, but I think it is going to be the best toaster we have had in years. For the past 15 or more years, we have been using toaster ovens, but decided for just the two of us now, we could get along with a toaster. Used it for our fresh homemade bread this morning and it was phenomenal! I believe one reviewer said something like: "The toast was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, the way toast should be." Well, I am here to say, it is! No more brown stripes! Can't wait to try the bagel button out! I highly recommend this toaster to anyone.
Great Toaster
We are very happy with this purchase. This toaster is a replacement for an older Avante that also had the bagel feature. The toast and the bagels are not dry, yet nicely toasted. I tried another brand that advertised a bagel feature, but it toasted both sides (not a good thing!). The Avante Deluxe toasts the inside and leaves the outside alone.
Big toaster
This toaster is quite functional but is too large and really doesn't look as retro as it does in the ad
Waffle button causes FIRE
I have, wait - had, an older model of this toaster. This morning I tried the "waffle" button for the first time. Went upstairs, came down 3 minutes later and there were flames coming out of my toaster. Apparently the manufacturer incorporated a special "self destruct" feature under the code name "waffle." My advise, if you're smart you'll drop-kick this thing into the trash barrel.
