I am enjoying this toaster more than others than i have had. I frequently buy sourdough bread which comes in long slices that don't fit in regular size toasters. This toaster handles all sizes of bread and takes 4 slices of normal bread easily with room to spare, as well as lookg great on my countertop, with a slim profile. I enjoy all the functions , reheat and defrost and it toasts my bread beautifully and evenly on both sides. I highly recommend it. the buttons/controls are a bit tricky for me to work at times, but I'm sure I'll get past that and have NO regrets buying it.
This toaster fits beautifully in my black and stainless steel kitchen. I purchased the 2 slice toaster. The digital functions are easy to use so you can change the toasting settings easily. Easily accomodates long slices of bread (sourdough) or thickly sliced bread. Love the pull out crumb drawer - keeps things neat. Have used for frozen waffles, bread, bagels - no problems. It has a defrost setting! Great purchase.
TLDR: You could pay more or you could pay less. But it would be very difficult to find a toaster that toasts everything in your pantry.
I was seeking a toaster that would allow me to toast bagels (thick) and artisan type breads (wide). I searched several sites off and on for a few months (while trying to keep my old toaster alive by brute forcing the button down). There are a lot of good brands with lots of good reviews.
But the one thing that was alluding me was the 'wide' slot. Maybe it was because I was seeking a 2 bread toaster and not a 4 bread toaster. Then one day I found this one. And after reading the reviews, I decided to make the purchase. That it was on sale was a bonus. This could be the whole review. It does those two things very well. So it's perfect for me.
No it's REALLY perfect for ME. I also like to eat a Pop Tarts (unfrosted) once or twice a month. Which exposed it's only real flaw. The top edge of the Pop Tart (and sandwich bread) doesn't get toasted. So why is it perfect then? Because I was able to flip the Pop Tart in it's side. This toasts it perfectly. And the design of the toaster still allows for the Pop Tart to rise out of the slot and easily be picked up. I have yet to turn sandwich bread on it's side, but I suspect I'll get the same results.
I also haven't tried frozen waffles yet. I stopped buying them because my last toaster (RIP) left them soggy on one side. I actually started defrosting them in the microwave first just to get them to toast. But even then it was easy to over toast them (turn dial) and they'd become like cardboard. But I will try them, and if they fail, I will update this review.
To address one of the reviews I read here. I find it very strange that the graphics are wearing off this persons toaster buttons. The 1 setting is perfect for toasting everything except bagels and English muffins. 3 is best for those. So unless this toaster is being used daily in a hotel lobby by dozens and dozens of people and little kids with greasy little hands, I fail to see how you can subject it to so much wear and tear.
I suspect it's not a manufacturers issue but the cleaning agent. I have some expensive pots and pans whose coatings have been damaged by Cascade dish washing detergent. That's on me for trusting the cleaning agent to be gentle. There's a reason they advertise it cleans caked on food. Soap and water should be enough to clean the grime and germs, without damaging the lithography.
The first thing I noticed was how lightweight the Mueller toaster is compared to our 20-year-old toaster. However, it’s sturdy and well made.
It has two large slots, and will toast two wide slices of bakery bread or two bagels at one time. It will also toast Four average slices of bread.
It has six browning settings and even has a memory guide. If you find a setting you like, it stays there until you change it. I love the release lever, too. No more burning fingers trying to get the toast out.
The stainless steel design is attractive and the crumb tray is convenient for easy cleaning.
Highly recommended!
I was surprised with the size initially but it does fit well on my countertop. I toasted a bagel based on the lower of the recommended setting which was 5-6. For me it was a little too dark on 5.
We followed the directions to learn how to use the settings. It wasn't hard. The toaster has a nice appearance and I like the versatility of the thicknesses of bread that can be toasted. It seems to be a good buy with a reasonable price. You may need to experiment with the settings to find your favorite settings for different breads.
Never had a digital toaster before. It toasts perfectly and is so easy to use.
I used to put the toaster up in a cabinet so it was not seen but this one is so nice and sleek I like having it on the counter to show it off! We are very pleased with this toaster.
I originally chose this toaster because of its unique design features. I liked the idea of a single slot that can accommodate two slices of bread, and it looked aesthetically pleasing. The toaster was attractive, so I decided to order it. It arrived quickly, and at this point, I can only say that it's a toaster and seems to work as expected, which is a good thing. The aesthetics are as pleasing as I anticipated when I placed the order. The controls are simple and logically laid out, and the quality appears to be good. I'm hopeful that it will provide a long, useful life with plenty of toasted bread.
Honestly hard to find a toaster this slim and sleek. It works fine, though the mechanism was a bit stuck at first, just unbent the metal a tiny bit and it works fine
Nice design and good product so far.
First of all I deducted a star as there is no bagel setting. Other than that it's 5 star.
Compact and minimalist look suit me, and there are very few toasters available with these qualities.
Haven't had it long but up to now it toasts well.
Remains to be seen how well the defrost setting works - I hope well as I toast a lot of bread from frozen.
Up to now I'm happy with it.
What a fantastic toaster. Best one ever. One big long slot and extra wide. It fits two slices in a row, or a cut bagel. Also fit's longer buns, like maybe you cut a baguette to fit. It is timed toasting, so no boring the second person's toast in the AM ...Fantastic !
