I see it's half price now...hate it when that happens!
Purchased this toaster for my new remodeled kitchen , and it blends in very well.
This toaster is a great purchse for the money.
i first noticed that it toasted darker on one side (when not on the bagel setting), but i was willing to overlook that "problem".
good appearance and company name fooled me.
it's sleek and the brand name is not large so it doesn't take away from the toaster itself.
looks great, buttons and controls are nice and easy to use.
after just a few months of use, the lever pops up after a few seconds and i have to push it back down 2 or 3 more times in order for it to toast my bread.
I hesitated buying this toaster after reading the other review of it, but since I liked the style better than any other toaster in its price range, decided to give it a try hoping their toaster was a fluke.
I purchased this toaster a couple of days ago and plan to return it.
I purchased this toaster about 6 months ago.
Seems to be another quality Hamilton-Beech product.
Three months later, the baskets no longer depress/close around the bread and so the toasting mechanism doesn't engage (and I get no toast)!
Regular bread is toasted a little slower than other toasters I have had.
Pros: Beautiful and easy to use.
Pros: It doesn't jam or make a horrible noise.
Pros: Works perfectly, has crumb tray, slots wide enough to toast anything
Didn't get five stars because it won't fit large slices, but for 20 bucks it's a good little toaster.
Our old Proctor Silex toaster died after many years of just being a simple toaster.
The center group of heating elements barely gets hot resulting in toast that is under-done on one side and over-done on the other.
Ugg...this toaster replaced my awesome, expensive chrome toaster, which randomly stopped holding down the toast.
Just purchased this toaster.
This toaster is great looking, and if you toast regular loaf bread, it's a 5 out of 5, however it has a weak spring up mechanism when toast is done, and will not pop up bagels!
