Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 24450 4-Slice Cool-Touch Toaster, White
Customer Review: It's a toaster!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, it's a toaster. It makes toast. It works fine, looks good, doesn't cost a lot of money, and it makes toast. What more could you possibly want from a toaster?Customer Review: Good toaster- Good Price
Summary: 4 Stars
Perfectly adequate toaster at a good price. Toasts evenly and well, although a little slowly. Great value.Customer Review: Slots are not long enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I was looking forward to replacing my old toaster, which takes too long to produce toast. I was very disappointed in this toaster. The first thing I tried to toast - a relatively small slice of oval marble rye - was too long to fit in the toaster. Unless you only toast round or square things, like bagels and white bread, you are going to have to cut off the end of the bread. I'm going to go back to a toaster that has two extra long slots.Customer Review: don't be fooled by the price or previous reviews
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this toaster based on a combination of previous reviews and price. After more than a week of frustration I discovered the only 4-slice toasters which received good reviews cost a great deal of money (Dualit) or were backordered for weeks.
Then there was this toaster. Although it showed up in record time (less than the stated delivery time - thank you Amazon) it was a disaster from the moment it came out of the box:
1. It's a very light weight toaster, which means it feels cheap. The plastic is low grade plus the lift and heating elements are flimsy and rattle around a great deal.
2. The lift mechanisms feel cheap. I had to gingerly push them down in fear of breaking them. If I pushed down with any reasonable force, the toaster tipped forward.
3. To make matters worse, the left side of the toaster was broke: the lift mechanism wouldn't stay down.
4. I did try to use the side which worked on both regular bread and frozen waffles. The bread came out uneven: one side was noticeably darker than the other, each heating element produced different results, and each slice was toasted unevenly on each side. the frozen waffles came out very dry and due to their being curled up, jammed on the way up. If I wasn't there watching it, it could have started a fire because the heating element didn't turn off.
Overall: THIS IS A CHEAP AND DANGEROUS TOASTER. Avoid it like the plague. I'm just going to have to suck it up and pay the extra money for a better quality machine or wait for the other toasters to get restocked.
Customer Review: Nice Toaster For the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want a toaster, this would be the one to get. It does what it's supposed to do, and I am very satisfied with this machine. Don't hesitate to buy this toaster.
