BLACK+DECKER 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots

I bought this toaster based on user reviews and price. So many things to say about it! I don't know where to start, so please excuse me if things get long. From the get-go it has made perfectly wonderful toast with all kinds of bread, thick, thin you name it. Consistent, evenly browned with the dial slightly right of center, maybe at the 12:15 position, maybe closer to 12:30, but certainly not at 12:45! And the toast is warm. Win! I purchased this to replace a Cuisinart 2-slice unit we had for a couple of years. It still worked really well, and like this one, it has a removable crumb tray. Good/bad, but I really don't like to wake up bleary from the night before and think about stuff like that. And I certainly don't in the evening when I'm craving a snack. At the low price of around $26.83 (including tax), I can just order another one and throw this one away and not have to worry about crumbs or cleaning! It has a slightly shorter power cord than our last unit, and is much lighter, since it's body is made from plastic instead of stainless steel. Maybe a slight drawback in a self-defense scenario, since swinging it around with a shorter cord and less weight won't have as much impact, and may actually shatter. Important to know, so I stored it near the blender, which has a much heavier base and longer cord, just in case. Preparation and planning are everything! This is not a deal breaker. I'll report back on the shatter when I buy another toaster......... Suggestions for product development: 1. Maybe Bluetooth/WiFi compatible, so you can see the cycle progress and listen to your playlist or a movie. 2. Additional colors, like Pink, White w/Stripes, Pearl (if you like Jam) Deep Purple or Cream. 3. Solar powered to offset the carbon footprint from the toasting cycle. Anyway, go buy this toaster! It's an awesome product and inexpensive. And it makes toast!

Very pleased with the toaster. Besides being an attractive toaster it does a good job browning the bread.

After reading numerous reviews and subsequently using the product, I have these comments: 1. It does smell funny when first fired up. I’d expect that - after several dry runs with no bread, the funny smell diminished greatly. 2. It was my experience that the bread was toasted as evenly as one could expect for a basic toaster. No complaints there. 3. The exterior sides do not get hot; they do get a little warm. The back gets the warmest. Touching the metal parts shortly after use is unwise. After a half-dozen toasting cycles, no part of the plastic exterior was uncomfortable to the touch. No safety concerns. 4. I find the cord to be long enough. Most counters are 24” deep which means that there should be sufficient cord length for most applications. A longer cord may require a higher gauge wire which means cord storage is a BIG problem. 5. The toaster is lightweight, nice-looking and as fully functional as one would expect a toaster in this price range to be. 6. My only complaint (and the reason for docking one star) is that the cord storage on this toaster is awful. Clearly, cord storage was an after thought - and a bad one at that. 7. (Update) I concur with other reviewers that the “Bagel” button does absolutely nothing. I tried two bagels - one with the button ON and one with button OFF. Both were equally toasted on both sides - no difference between the cut and uncut sides and no difference between bagel #1 and bagel #2. This isn’t a deal-breaker for me but it is curious that the button is essentially dysfunctional. I would probably never use the “Frozen” button. Bottom line: If you want a basic toaster that gets the job done, this is a reasonable choice (if the price is competitive vs. similar products). But, if you are a bagel fan who primarily wants just the cut side toasted, you should consider looking elsewhere.

Just wanted a basic toaster, which this is and does the job well. Please note cycle it through 3 times before toasting anything to let the smell of the plastic getting hot and open your windows. Beside that is great for a basic toaster.

Excellent, we love this toaster, especially because it's a nice size besides working well.

Very good toaster

Purchased this in September 2024, initially OK for the past few months it takes toasts extremely uneven and takes quite some time to do that. Have to turn whatever you're toasting around so both sides at least get somewhat toasted. My experience with this toaster is it is not durable. Would not recommend.

Actually rated 4.5 stars I have been through many toasters looking for one that would toast bread evenly… imagine that. My family has made fun of me for my ridiculous need to have toast evenly toasted. I feel like it’s my god given right to have perfectly browned toast. I owned a Cuisinart 4 slice toaster that I finally replaced with this. The 4 slice was more than a few years old and worked ok for a while, but toward the end, I was toasting on the lowest setting and then flipping the bread upside down and front to back when it popped up… 3 times. I ordered this after reading reviews and on the 4 frozen setting, it makes good toast. I keep my bread in the freezer). When the kid toasts white bread, it is perfect, but at 3 settIng. My Dave’s Killer bread has about 1/2 inch all the way around not really that toasted. It will do for now, but frankly don’t expect it to last too last too long, because it feels cheap, which is why I wish it came in a stainless steal finish. It would have a better perception of quality. I really don’t understand why getting bread evenly toasted is so darn difficult with all the advancements we have made in technology🤷‍♂️

Un tostador de buenos materiales llego muy rápido excelente calidad funciono al 100% lo volvería a adquirir

This is so far the best toaster we bought! Simple, easy to use, takes larger slices, toasts come up just perfectly done...works quick and efficantly...price point perfect, not so massive. blends nicely on a counter ...great buy!!!!

works great

Me gusta que es amplio no hay problema para cualquier tipo de tamaño de rebanada y deja un buen tostado

Très beau design. Difficile d'enlever les miettes. Faisait de belles rôties. Les éléments chauffants ont commencé à faire défaut après 2 ans.
