Black & Decker 2-Slice Toaster with Extra Wide Slot Push-Button Functions, Shade Selector and Swing-Down Crumb Tray, Black/Stainless Steel

I recently replaced my overpriced, underperforming toaster with the BLACK+DECKER Rapid Toast 2-Slice Toaster, and what a difference! This little toaster lives up to its name – it's incredibly fast. It did take a few tries to find the sweet spot on the dial for my preferred level of toastiness, but once I figured it out, I've been enjoying perfectly golden-brown toast every morning.What I love most is how it toasts bagels. The outside gets perfectly crisp and crunchy, while the inside stays soft and chewy. Honestly, there's simply no comparison between this affordable gem and my previous "fancy" toaster. If you're looking for a quick and efficient toaster that delivers delicious results, look no further!

It's a solid toaster that toasts bread and bagels super fast. It looks nice on your counter. It's extremely efficient. The toast tastes good.I can personally guarantee anyone who reviewed this and complained that it burned their toast or 'set the toaster on fire' bought the toaster without understanding what it does, plugged it in without reading any of the instructions, cranked the dial all the way up to 10, slapped some bread in there, and expected some dark toast in 4 to 5 minutes. That's not how this thing works.You should have this on 4 at MOST, (unless you're defrosting a waffle or something) - you can run it twice at 3-4 and get perfect toast and it'd still take 1/4 of the time of a regular toaster. If you're doing something like a pop tart you can probably go with like, 2.Only advice I have past that is to not touch it after it's been used because it DOES get insanely hot after a single use - and the first time you use it it will emit a weird smell, but it's gone completely after the first use. Sacrifice a piece of bread if you're worried, but honestly the toast tasted fine to me, so you'd probably be okay.TLDR; the people complaining about this thing are using it like a regular toaster instead of a high-powered toasting monster

This toaster is really fast, which is what we wanted. The toast sometimes comes out a little uneven (more done on one side). But it's still a nice product and a good buy.

Toast quickly

Where do I start? I can say it is an attractive, extremely well made fit of SS materials and it ends there. in this new world of AI I suppose companies are left with complete idiots as designers and engineers. Right out of the box when I noticed how the crumb tray operated I formed an opinion, boy thats going to make a mess! why it doesn't have a tray that slides out like I assume all modern day toasters have is beyond me. Next is the bagel function that the toaster boast of having, well it doesn't. What is has is a button thats non functional. normally the top of a toaster has stamped into it's metal components an icon of a bagel with cut sides in towards center of toaster. This toaster has warnings "hot surfaces" in three languages, excuse me there at Black+Decker, question, is that for your idiots? Myself, I know not to touch metal surfaces that cook, learned that when I was a baby, has stuck with me ever sense! It would have been nice, in my opinion, if Black+Decker would have put this toaster through the simple test of functionality, they too would have discovered these two important functions of a simple appliance, A non working bagel setting with a useless crumb tray. If you are looking to buy an attractive toaster that does not do bagels the way bagels are meant to be toasted and you can live with the flawed crumb tray get the toaster. for You there at Black+Decker, send this one back to design and get it right this time! I WILL BE SENDING THIS ONE BACK.

I was skeptical at first, but this little toaster delivers exactly as promised. In our household, we used to rely on a toaster oven, which took around 5 minutes to make toast — between preheating, placing the bread on the rack, and hoping it wouldn’t overcook or burn. Half the time, we’d forget the toast was even in there, and it would end up wasted.Now? Toast is done faster than brewing a cup of coffee in the Keurig. It may sound silly, but this simple switch has made a noticeable improvement in our daily routine. Quick, efficient, and no more forgotten toast. Highly recommend!

It's fast as advertised. Otherwise, same as all other toasters. Uneven toasting.

The BLACK+DECKER TR3500SD Rapid Toast 2-Slice Toaster has truly impressed me! It toasts bread quickly and evenly, which is a huge time-saver during busy mornings. I love the wide slots that easily fit bagels and thicker slices of bread. The settings are easy to adjust, so I always get the perfect level of toastiness, whether I want a light golden brown or a darker crunch. Plus, the sleek stainless steel design looks great on my kitchen counter. Cleanup is super easy thanks to the removable crumb tray. If you want a toaster that delivers on speed and consistency, this is the one!
