MuellerUltraToast Full Stainless Steel Toaster 2 Slice, Long Extra-Wide Slots with Removable Tray, Cancel/Defrost/Reheat Functions, 6 Browning Levels with LED Display, Housewarming Gifts New Home

Pro: Very nice toaster! Feels sturdy, looks great. The form factor allows for more room to be freed up on the counter as compared to traditional toasters. The size is very nice, and easily fits two slices of toast. Easy temp control.Con (?): As expected, you must run the toaster without anything inside before first use, which burns off the protective layers on the heating elements. This is normal, but fair warning that the smell is very strong, although it quickly decimates after even just one 2 minute run. Would recommend doing this burn off procedure outdoors or under a running air vent, as the chemical smell lingers for a while if not properly ventilated.

Love it! Looks great, works great, nice size and toasts well

Just started to use this toaster; only used it twice so far. So I deducted one star for that reason. Will revisit the rating later after I have toasted for a while.For the two times I have used it (frozen waffles), it was fine. Unique design; thin but long. I have never used a toaster with just one slot, so this is new to me. The one slot is nice and wide though, so not seeing why it won't work for me. Two waffles fit fine side by side.Toasted well. Nice stainless steel color. When using for the first time, strong smell, but that is explained on the instruction sheet. It goes away after toasting twice with no bread. Speed of toasting was fine. Reasonably sturdy; not overly lightweight or heavy.

Wonderful, attractive toaster at a very reasonable price. Love the ability to toast bread or bagels, defrost, and adjust darkness by electronic number.

I really wanted to love this toaster, as the aesthetics are perfect. The size is perfect for my small countertop - takes up much less space than my previous unit. The stainless look matches my large appliances well. However - it does not toast very well! It varies on how it toasts depending on the type of break you put in. A regular sandwich slice seems to do okay most of the time, but a large sourdough slice (which is why I bought this style in the first place) does not do well at all. You are given 6 ranges of "doneness" to choose from. 1 and 2 barely get the bread warm. 3 isn't much better. 6 will burn the bread. That leaves you with 4 and 5, with not much difference between them. The large slice using 4 gets the end parts of the bread somewhat toasty, but the middle is barely warm. 5 isn't much better. Even using the "a little bit more" button doesn't accomplish much. The ends just get almost to the burnt stage, but still not much color in the center. My wife doesn't like the controls at all, but they don't really bother me. The coils in the center section seem to be getting hot, but why the bread doesn't get any color is puzzling. It's a shame. The look of the unit is perfect - just what I was looking for. The performance, however, is lackluster. I have used this for some time now, hoping that with a little use, it would do a better job. There has been no change.

This is an excellent toaster, and for the price you won't beat it. It's attractive, slim, and enough opening for bagels. It toasts in good time and one setting is all we need.

Love this toaster. It's snazzy streamlined look fits really well in my kitchen. It toasts to perfection and gives us lots of options. Highly recommend it

Definitely works for its intended purpose. Gone are the days that I had to tear off the edge of my bread to get it to fit. But...apparently gone are the days of the Bagel setting too. I don't know why I didn't pay attention that this didn't offer a Bagel setting...seriously just figured that was a standard feature on all toasters, but I was wrong. Because I like my sandwiches only toasted on the inside and not the outside (to prevent the roof of my mouth from getting scraped on toast), I'm dinging it a star for not having it regardless if I should've noticed it wasn't in the features description. For those that sometimes peruse over descriptions looking for specific features forgetting to check for standard ones, I'm making sure to note that it doesn't have a Bagel setting here.Someone mentioned to me they would never buy another digitally set toaster and I didn't understand at first what they were complaining about. Now I do. Although I can live with there not being a setting in-between two of the set values to give me that perfect toast (something you can do with the knob one), what really gets me is that my wife likes setting 4 and I like setting 3. And this is how it plays out in the morning. She gets up first, goes to the toaster, puts her toast in and notices it is on 3...so she pushes the + button and it goes to 4. She's good, toast is great for her. I wake up and put my toast in and upon noticing it is on 4 I have to push the + button 5 times to get it to 3 because there is no - button. Every morning...push, push, push, push, push just to finally get to the setting I want. At least it's my problem and not hers because if it was the other way around, this toaster would've been in the trash a while ago.It was frustrating tearing off the edge of the bread to get it to fit into my old toaster. But that one was easier to set the perfect toast level I wanted regardless of what it had been set at before. I'm still not sure which of the two is worse. If this had a Bagel setting and a toast level knob OR a - button it would be a 5-star toaster. But with the missing Bagel setting and the poor toast level adjustment feature the best I can give it is 3 stars (and if out of my frustration with having to push the setting 5x every morning I end up smashing it, I'll be sure to come back here and change my rating to only 2 stars).
