Not a Bad Toaster for the Buck
Have been using this toaster for about a week now. For the most part I really like it. My toast comes out nice and even and I really appreciate the countdown timer in the display window. Have not used the "reheat" function, but have toasted a few bagels and it works just as well as toasting bread. Very easy appliance to keep clean and I certainly appreciate the removable crumb tray. Despite the Black & Decker warning to not put the tray through your dishwasher I did and it cleaned up very nicely. Just be sure to turn off the "HEATED DRYING" option on the dishwasher.
The one thing I did not like is the retractable power cord feature. I pulled numerous time on the cord trying to get the locking system to hold the cord in place but it kept retracting the cord into the toaster as it simply would not lock. I finally smashed on the "retract" button a number of times and the internal cog finally locked the cord into my desired length. This is the only reason that I did not...
Junk
Toaster lasted all of 35 days before it stopped working. All the lights on the toaster are flashing/giving strange numbers/codes and as soon as you put something in it, it pops back up. Just outside of Amazon's return window so now I have to deal with Black and Deckers and pay to return the toaster.
Won't buy a toaster from Amazon again. If I buy it at a local store, I have a 90 day return window.
Good toaster
The toaster looks really good - stainless all around. The top mounted button are great and the display works well. The retractable cord isn't really necessary but isn't a problem.
Toasting wise, it does a decent job. It seems to toast the inside of the toaster slightly more than the outside. Overall it is a good toaster for the money.
