Hamilton Beach 2 Slice Extra Wide Slot Toaster with Bagel & Defrost Settings, Shade Selector with 7 Browning Levels, Toast Boost, Auto Shutoff, Black & Stainless Steel (22633)

This toaster truly does have extra wide slots! I love to toast my blueberry bagels, and they did not fit into the slots of my old toaster. So when I found this Hamilton Beach toaster at a very reasonable price, I had to give it a try! It works really well, and toasts my bagels perfectly. It's lightweight, and very aesthetically pleasing. The stainless steel looks great, and perfectly matches my microwave and stove. I love this toaster!

Great and reliable toaster

To begin, I have to say that this toaster is very basic, and I am glad I only paid $20 for it. For the price, one shouldn't have great expectations for a toaster - but I did think that it might be better than what it is. Don't get me wrong, if you are looking for a toaster that just toasts regular size bread (like the square size of wonder bread or something) then it would probably work just fine for you. I typically buy good quality bread like Dave's or Oroweat Multi Grain that are more rectangular in shape, and the slots are just a bit too short for the slices to fit - so I have to push the slices down after the lever is engaged. I wouldn't expect a toaster in this price range to have a sensing mechanism that would allow it to toast evenly, and this one doesn't. It seems stuck on the bagel setting, which one side inevitably comes out darker than the other. Depending on the bread that I buy I have to adjust the timer accordingly, which is expected. The feature works well and is consistent when keeping it at the same setting and using the same bread. It is useable, though I wish that I would have spent a bit more for a better-quality toaster. I am giving it four stars because it does toast and would probably suit someone who uses the more inexpensive "square shaped" bread or smaller slice bread. Just doesn't work well for the more rectangular types of bread.

Toasts my toast just fine. You've been making toasters for awhile now. So Im glad to say, you've definitely made a fine toaster at a decent price.

This is the first Hamilton Beach item I have bought in over 20 years. Their line of appliances got a horrible name back in the '80's for poor quality. However, after reading all the reviews and doing my research this was the model of toaster that had all the bells and whistles I wanted and was the right price. Having used a toaster oven, then an air frier oven, my toast over the past several years has been rather dry since both types of toasters take up to 10 minutes to cook, drying the bread. I love eating toast cooked over an open flame, which crisps the outside, but leaves the inside warm and chewy. A toaster doesn't do it for me, so I frustration I went ahead and bought this toaster. Yes, the first slices of bread out are a little unevenly toasted, but I have noticed that when I use it for more than the original two slices, the next sets are perfect and it only takes about 2 minutes to cook, leaving the outside crispy and the inside soft, warm and chewy. I am delighted with it.

The toaster is a replacement for old one that was only a few years old . It seems to be ok for what we need it for nothing fancy . I noticed only one side of the bread seems to get brown . What I do like is it has a better dial for the settings. It also has good buttons for either just roasting , defrosting and to cancel ..

I read the description, even went to the Hamilton Beach website to verify the "Bagel" option. I was looking for a toaster that shuts off part of the heating elements when toasting bagels so that only the cut side is toasted, this also works well for hamburger buns. The description both places didn't say whether this toaster shuts off part of the elements, only that it would make the cut side of bagels toasty and only warm the other side. Nope, it toasts both sides, all the bagel setting does is to increase the cycle time. This toaster also arrived with the lever jammed and at first did not want to push down to begin the toasting cycle. After several attempts of jiggling/wiggling the handle it finally did push down, however it would still get stuck about every other use. I only used the unit a total of 4 times before returning it after determining that it did NOT work as expected. The toast it made was however very evenly toasted and this toaster has a small countertop footprint. If you're just looking for a simple toaster that makes regular toast real well, this is a great choice. If you're looking for a true bagel toaster that will only toast once side, this is not the unit you want.

I just needed a simple toaster, nothing fancy, and this does the trick. Works well, looks nice, doesn’t take up too much space. It’s held up just fine for a month now. Works for my bagels when cut in half. The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because it seems to get way too hot for anything anyone would want to eat if dialed up anywhere past the medium setting. We burned a few things figuring out that you don’t need to dial it up very far to get the job done. But now we know and we’re fine with it. It was a very good price for the quality so I would buy again.

Llego en tiempo, funciona bastante bien, tiene varios niveles de tostado y no ocupa mucho espacio. Satisfecha con la compra

Grille pain excellent choix

Funciona a la perfección. No hemos mantenido en la marca, después de 15 años ha sido tiempo de sustituir nuestro tostador. Para mi gusto en el número 3 la rebanada regular de pan tiene el tostado ideal, es una ventaja que pueda descongelar, pues en casa solemos congelar el pan, además de que le caben rebanadas mas grandes. Comparé el precio con su venta en tienda física en supermercado en USA y resultó un dólar mas barato comprándolo por este medio.

Bintage muy bonito
