Proctor Silex Proctor-Silex 22450 2 Slice Cool Touch Toaster

Wide slots allow to toast many different kind of bread including bagel and muffin. Very affordable price. It was one of the top ranked toaster in Consumer report.

Weird smell, something like plastic melting smell when we tried to toast first time. The length of slot is not very long, so that wide bread could not be fit.

Inexpensive,Toasts evenly [when toasting a second time-see below] ,Wide slots,Cool to the touch,toast can be elevated w lever for retrieval.

The toast is not at all brown,even at the darkest setting.Since I get the same results from two units I'd say it's a badly designed toaster: weak heating coils or thermostat range not adjusted?

Toasts evenly, doesn't eject toast out of toaster, price

none so far, but wish it came in black

This toaster is reliable, attractive, and compact. It doesn't take up much room on the counter. Controls are easy to use. The case is sturdy and well-made. It does produce nicely browned toast.

The pop-up lift arm, temperature setting problems, short power cord.
