Black & Decker T4569B 4-Slice Toaster, Black



Perfect Bagel Toaster
I love bagels and primarily use a toaster for that one purpose (with some toast thrown in from time to time). This toaster is exactly what I needed as it actually caters to bagels without substituting quality in other applications. Functionally it's pretty flawless. I can get my bagels toasted evenly and at the correct brownness with little effort. It's a nice looking modern toaster, and while it might not have every whiz-bang feature that more expensive models offer, it does what it does humbly and with excellence.

The toaster slot size is 5.375 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.

PROS:

1) Dual trays for bagels or toast with self-adjusting guides for thinner items like sliced bread

2) Cancel button that makes it easy to eject something mid-way through. This is especially handy as you're getting to know the toaster and how to get your desired level of toasting.

3) A bagel button for toasting just the inside of the bagel. There are...

Outstanding
This toaster is exactly what I wanted and expected. Bagels are perfect, toast is wonderful, and frozen items toast great with the frozen button. I really like the cancel button when something doesn't work. Love my toaster.

SLOT IS A LITTLE TO DEEP
Toaster works great and we love the cancel button, but many things that we toast do not pop up past heating elements, where you can safely retrieve them. I have many light burns trying to get things out. I finally sat a pair of tongs by the toaster to get items out. Yesterday my wife put some thin buns in and one slid by the cradle and went to the bottom of toaster. I had to unplug toaster, turn toaster over and shake it out. We love how it looks on the counter and it does a great job toasting, but you have to be extremely careful removing products.
