BUYDEEM DT620 2-Slice Toaster, Extra Wide Slots, Retro Stainless Steel with High Lift Lever, Bagel and Muffin Function, Removal Crumb Tray, 7-Shade Settings,Cozy Greenish

I replaced my broken toaster with a purchase from my local store. The deal maker for me is the bagel feature, I toast a bagel almost daily. Function information is very limited on the outside of a box. Even the instruction book said the bagel button was for toasting bagels. Hmf, really? I pressed the button and waited and nothing happened. I returned that toaster in exchange for the exact same one I had that broke after 5 years. At least I knew it had a functioning bagel button. I brought it home and discovered from testing and reading the book that they changed how the bagel feature works. It adds more toast time to both sides of the bagel. The whole point of the button is to reduce toast time on the glazed sides of the bagel because they get so hot you can't hold it to dress it until it cools. I brought it back for refund.THIS Buydeem toaster is a dream. The body style and layout are beautiful. I have the black and chrome to match my kitchen and it looks awesome. To top that, the functions are perfect. They work as described in the ad that I could read before purchase. The bagel feature keeps all elements on for 30 seconds, then reduces the power to the outside elements for the remaining toast time. Which is also perfect as I keep my bagels in the fridge and are cold to start toasting.Also, not mentioned in the ad, the bagel button doubles as a muffin feature which is also awesome. The defrost will defrost a frozen bread slice then toast it to the set grade of the dial. The reheat button puts it over the top.I have never been so happy with a toaster. It will fulfill any toasting needs I will have.The test now is the longevity.

Sinceramente me animé por el precio y ahora que ya han pasado 2 meses no me arrepiento, funciona muy bien y no le pide nada a los que son de marcas reconocidas y por ende más caros.

UPDATE #3: This toaster is now available in Stainless Steel. Much better choice than the icky green. My opinion though. Icky green may go well in some kitchens and may not be icky to those buyers. However, that is not the reason for my update. A couple years later plus a few months: this toaster is still going strong. For a measly $50 this toaster simply can’t be beat. I own a $330.00 toaster that is hand made in England that has been around for many, many years and this toaster beats it in just about every way possible—as far as how the toast, bagels, etc. come out. The Dualit has many features that the Buydeem does not and if I am not mistaken no other toaster made anywhere has such as a stay-warm feature. That’s all and good but for the life of me I can’t get it to toast evenly bread evenly. And for $334.00 plus tax it should do everything as advertised. In addition to that, I also own another toaster that costs $539.00 plus tax and it’s not even worth the cost of the stainless steel used in the construction of the toaster. As earlier stated, this is one Chinese-made toaster from a real Chinese company that builds a better toaster than any other company making toasters in today’s market. You simply can’t go wrong. Of course, it’s possible that got a one-off toaster and yours might be bad and will not work, but I doubt it.UPDATE #2: I want to let the Amazon public know what I have faced with the Buydeem Company since writing my initial review and Update #1. After writing my initial review, I received a note from Buydeem to explain to them how I burned my finger because they thought it was impossible to to so. They asked that I CHANGE my review to reflect this. After re-reading my review, I realized I did not write a fair review and did not give them a fair rating of the toaster. Since the toaster’s tipping forward and dropping toward the floor and in trying to catch it I burned my finger was my fault in having it at the edge of the counter, I decided to explain it in the update and I changed my rating to a 5-star. As I stated both in the update and in the initial review, this is a GREAT toaster; in fact, I have yet to find a toast that does everything one could want from a toaster as well as toasting bread perfectly—fully browned top to bottom and left to right—except for the one that is handmade in England and sells for six (6) times the price of this toaster.Then, after making the change, I received another notice from Buydeem begging me to change my review as they had dropped from a 100 percent rating to 88 percent due to MY single rating. I wrote them back saying that I had already done so and asked them why they hadn’t bothered to look before they wrote me.Then, they wrote me back immediately asking me to add pictures or better still a video of me, I presume of my making toast so show how good the toaster is.I am telling the Amazon buying public this because I feel that this type of conduct by a seller, manufacturer, or vendor is pandering to an almost illegal degree. And I feel certain that it would be against Amazon’s rules that any of these companies/people are allowed to do. So beware, if you purchase this very fine toaster and don’t give it a 5-star review, you may be facing a, shall we call it ‘a comeback’ from Buydeem to fix your review and change it to a 5-star so they can keep their rating at 100 percent. They may or may not do this, but from my experience, they will.UPDATE:First, I want to add that when my review was posted, Buydeem wrote to me to review with me what I said below. First, they sent me a copy of the UL Certificate they received showing that the toaster is UL rated and indeed it is. So that issue has now been cleared up.Second, the fact that they contacted me shows they care about their product. Never has any product owner or manufacturer taken the time to reflect on what I said in a review which, to me, shows they are passionate about the products they make. So, I want to make another item in my review very clear. When I said that when I pushed both plungers (lift levers are what they are really called I know now) down to lower the bread into the toaster to be toasted, and the machine tilted forward and on one occasion burned my hand, this was a one off situation. I actually had the toaster at the edge of the counter because, as I said, it wobbled. It wobbled because a foot had come off during shipment and before I realized it and replaced it (it was in the box) I was trying to find out why my counter was so uneven. So, I moved it toward the front edge of the countertop and then tried pushing both lift levers down. Being a strong man, pushed too hard, the toaster flipped forward, fell off the counter, I tried to catch it and because I had just toasted four pieces of toast just before this, the toaster was already hot, when I caught it from falling to the floor, my fingers touched the hot part of the toaster, the chrome edge around the burners which on any toaster are always hot. My point was that if it tilts forward, and IF you accidentally touch that area of the toaster one could get burned. The toaster itself, the green body of the toaster, is very cool to the touch.I advised the person who contacted me that were the toaster a little heavier such as making it on a die-cast chassis, this would prevent this very light toaster from tipping forward when the lift levers are pressed downward too hard or lifted up too hard it would prevent the toaster from tilting backwards.Since I wrote that initial review, I have since learned to not push so hard on the lift levers and as a result the toaster remains on all four feet and, therefore, remains firmly on the countertop. For this reason, I am changing the rating to a 5-star. As I earlier said, other than the King of Toaster, the Dualit family of toaster, this is the first toaster that toasts bread very quickly and leaves it crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. That is the way a good piece of toast should be. And it toasts all the bread evenly from end to end, top to bottom, side to side. This is, for the price, a marvelous toaster. Other than the Dualit, the best toaster I have ever had that is sold on the US market. I hope that clarifies this my earlier review.Not very often do I alter a review, but this toaster really makes the grade A and deserves a 5-star rating._________________________________________________________________________________________________I know you are going to ask how I could give this toaster a 4-star rating when it’s easy to use, has great value for the money and it’s a great style, I’ll explain. This toaster is a very, very good toaster when it comes to toasting. I don’t know of another toaster that does its job more quickly than this toaster. And, it does it very well. The browning is very even from top to bottom and right to left. In that vein, I have no complaints.However, Amazon does, in its description, mislead us. It states that the weight is 8+ pounds. With no knowledge of the brand except for the good reviews it had, I decided to purchase it along with the fact it was heftier than most non-die-cast toasters such as the Breville models which I have been used to. But the Buydeem weighs in at 4.13 pounds, just a little too light to be valuable as a toaster, especially if children are using it. This toaster does get hot.When I lifted the risers to remove the pieces of bread after they were toasted, the toaster flipped up off the front feet. Worse, when I pushed both risers down to start all four slots toasting, the toaster flipped downward to the counter. In either case, had the toaster been used over and over again, I could have burned my hand. This, for a child, could be—I will say it again—could be a danger. For this reason alone, I am returning the toaster for a model with good reviews that will not flip up or down.It seems to me that a toaster that not only is made in China but is from an actual Chinese company would have weighted it down a little more for safety reasons. I did not see any UL Certification but it may have been..

We have to replace our toaster every two years it seems, and thought we would give this brand a go for a change. Very stylish looking, (we got the green 4 slice) and appreciate the wider slots for our homemade bread.So far it makes great toast, even on both sides, and the defrost/toast feature is a nice touch.Hoping this lasts longer than 2 years, but so far we are happy with the looks and quality.

Love the way this makes toast who of thought you could make toast with this. Oh yea, it's a toaster works well and looks great.
