West Bend 78224 Quik-Serve Toaster, Black



okay toaster
It is a great concept, and toasts okay. What I notice is that sometimes the toast gets stuck on its way out and it isn't easy to get it out once it is stuck because the mechanism inside is holding it. The other problem I see is that it leaves alot more crumbs all over the counter because they all come out the front along with the toast. When I first used it it smelled like melting plastic, that smell has since disappeared, but it was very strong at first.
UPDATE: I am back looking for another toaster, after struggling with this one for almost a year, I am getting rid of it.

Not a toaster, it's a bread warmer!
I purchased this "toaster" because it was supposed to be a 1400 watt "quick serve" toaster. It's fast, but only at warming the bread. To toast bread it takes two or three cycles on the darkest setting (placing the bread back in the toasting slot). Even after the two or three attempts the bread is unevenly toasted. I sure wish I hadn't wasted the money on this item.

Not as expected

While it may be somewhat quicker the toast looks more blackened than browned. It worked about twice then without out any attempt to adjust any settings it started toasting only one side. It would only work by holding down the bagel/bread switch. Good looking toaster with sound principles but needs more work.
