Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex Cool-Touch Toaster
Customer Review: My favorite toaster EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
The Proctor-Silex 22450 is not a fancy-looking product. If you need a fancy-looking designer toaster to impress somebody, get something else. But if you want a toaster that just does a great job for the money, this is a good choice. Its skin is insulating plastic and is very light in weight. You can just pick it up or slide back to put it away without ever burning your hand. This is a GREAT feature!
As with most toasters, you set the temp dial to the setting you want, pop your stuff in, and push down the load lever. With THIS toaster, if it is unplugged, your bread won't stay down. This is a super handy feature, because when someone unplugs your toaster to charge a cell phone or run the crock pot, you could be sitting there awhile before you notice.
Once you get it going, a red light comes on to tell you it's cooking. That red light doubles as an eject button to get your bread/poptart/muffin back right now, should you become impatient or realize your spouse has turned the heat way up to toast something else.
As one other reviewer has pointed out, this machine does not pop up your toast very much; the secret to getting your toast back is to just slide the load lever up. At first I wondered, why doesn't this thing just push the bread up higher, like every normal toaster? But now I realize why -- it keeps your toast snug in there until you get to it, instead of outside, where it can cool off. I really appreciate this feature now.
Having said that, here are the improvements I'd like:
1) Slightly wider slots, to handle bagels easier
2) Make the crumb catcher a little better -- this one drops a crumb or two sometimes
3) Replace the rotary temp adjustment dial with a vertical slider for an instantly readable indication of the temp setting
All in all, though, the best feature is that white plastic case. It just doesn't get hot. This is a terrific value for the money. We've gotten our money's worth several times out of ours, and it still works great. If something happened to this one now, I'd take another one.
