West Bend QuikServe Toaster, 2-Slice Wide-Slot Slide-Through Bread Toaster with Bagel and Gluten-Free Settings and Cool-Touch Exterior Fast Toasting, Includes Removable Serving Tray, 1400-Watts, Black

This is way better than expected. It makes perfect toast and then shoots it out of the front bottom!Is that a novelty, well yes, but it’s a cool one and very practical too.Just load it up, and slide down the lever on the side.I have made bagels and burger buns too, and they all come out really really well!The footprint is not that large but it is pretty tall.The side flap needs to be lowered to allow for the toast or bun to exit.It’s pretty sturdy and well made and a bargain for the price.It heats up fast from cold.All in all, a great toaster. Note; It will only do 2 slices or bun slices at one time but its quick to toast and reload.

I really like this toaster! I like that the toast comes out of the bottom. I like the slim design. I like that my kids can use it with no issues. I like that you can wipe the tray (easy cleaning).

THE GREATEST TOASTER KNOWEN TO MAN. NO MORE FISHING HOT BREAD OUT. THE DAM BREAD SLIDEDS OUT THE BOTTOM. CUSTOM LOAFS LIKE SOUR DOUGH. THE SLICE ARE BIG..... NO PROBLEM YOU CAN TOAST THEM WITH THIS DREAM TOASTER.. DO YOU HAVE THOSE DAM SMALL PACKS OF FLAT BREADS. I DROP SEVEN IN THE TOASTER. PERFIT TOAST, THEY DROP OUT THE BOTTOM HOT AND READY... I SMER PENUT BUTTER ON THEM....WOW, I WILL BUY IT AGAIN.

I used this toaster a few times works good so far. Its's very light and browns well.

We were looking for a wide slot toaster that was slim and compact for our RV. There is limited counter space and storage space. The first time we used it, we had it under the cabinet and the cabinet was getting quite hot. So, when in use, make sure you move it out from under the cabinet. It is very easy to use, seems sturdy and the toasting is perfect. I love the appearance, compactness and easy to stow away. I highly recommend for small spaces.

Poorly constructed front toast panel. Panel lays down for toast to pop onto but panel is very flimsy; doesn't close easily, feels like could break from bending so easily; just not made sturdy enough. Also, toaster is made too wide; not sure why. Was looking for regular size toaster, but slim (take up less counterspace).

Very fast, very efficient. I’ve only used it a few times so far, but I’m very happy with it. It wasn’t until after using it twice that I realized it wouldn’t be a good idea under the cabinet (as pictured), but very little heat had transferred to the underside of the cabinet. Personally I’ll probably pull it out when I use it from now on, just to be safe, but I think it would work just fine directly under your cabinets. Clearance isn’t a problem, either. There’s plenty of room from the top of the toaster to the bottom of the above cabinet. Still, if you choose to use it directly under a cabinet be careful. Like I said, there wasn’t a lot of heat transferred, but different finishes can produce different results, so keep an eye on it.As for the toaster itself, it worked great at reheated some frozen waffles I had made earlier. They even came out with a little extra crispiness that my previous toaster couldn’t provide. They were evenly heated (5 - medium) without much change in color. I haven’t tried toast, but if this thing can handle a waffle with care then I think toast would be no problem at all.Make sure you follow the instructions - it’s like one page of info so there’s no reason not to. Use it empty on high power before actually toasting anything. After this first round I noticed a tiny drop of pink machine lube on my counter. It must’ve shot out when the toasting ejector had activated. This stuff stinks and needs to be burned off. You don’t want it on your food.Hope that helps. I was a little on the fence because of some negative reviews, but I haven’t seen anything yet to make me not love this toaster. It’s perfect. And the price is on point. If you’re like me and considering getting a high-end toaster ($100) - DON’T. At least not without giving this one a try first. I’m very happy with my purchase.

I would call this 4.5/5 stars if that was an optionOne doesn't see many meaningful changes in toasters very often, but this device definitely constitutes one. The slim design makes it easier to store on a counter than the typical toaster. And the drop down design eliminates the potential difficulty or danger in removing warm toast from a hot machine. The first use of the day does seem to send the toast sliding slightly before the desired doneness is achieved, but that's very typical of any toaster I've ever used. The "bagel" option to use only one side of the heating elements could come in handy for regular bagel consumers who don't want to cut the roof of their mouth.The only downside is while the landing tray is technically removable, the two small plastic nubs that squeeze into the sides of the device fit very snuggly, and don't seem to be intended to be removed. It's a pain to get the tray out, and even more to get it back into place. The entire time I'm trying to fit it back into place I have the sinking feeling it's going to break. I have absolutely no doubt that will be the fate of the tray in due time.If there was a simple design mechanism for easy removal and replacing of the tray this would be 5 stars all day long. I'm still going to keep it despite the oversight on the tray design because it fits on my counters so nicely, and does a great job evenly toasting very quickly.
