T-fal TL6802002 4-Slice Digital Toaster with Bagel Function, Black



Great Toast...What More Can You Ask
At first, I got all caught up in comparing features and in reading all the bad reviews. Finally realized that every toaster had bad reviews and the matter of how long the toaster will last just cannot be determined at the front end of buying a toaster. I finally bought this toaster because it was recommended by Consumer Reports as their top pick, and I haven't been disappointed. It makes the best, most evenly toasted toast I think I've ever had. My only complaint is that it doesn't butter the toast and put it on my plate. This toaster is great. Buy it and spend your time on something more beneficial and important like I did when I finally came to the realization that I was buying a $40 toaster, not a $ 30,000+ new car. Good luck!

Great toaster
This is a well sized toaster being both lightweight and streamlined. It is easy to use, meaning that it's very intuitive. I only mention that as it's digital. The toasting bay is long enough to do 4 slices of toast, or 2 slices of "artisian" shaped breads. The bagel feature is great! The outside of the bagel is nicely warmed with the inside toasted. We're spoiled now from this toaster! The defrost setting also works well. It took me 2 or 3 tries to get the setting that we prefer, but I expected to do that with any new toaster. We've been using this toaster for about 2 weeks now without incident, it's easy to use, easy to clean up and toasts evenly and well. I don't know how to respond to others reviews that it's "slow" it seems normal to me.

Just arrived - will update
Just arrived - I'm only posting because there's so little info on this toaster. As of today Amazon still has no image so I uploaded one direct from t-Fal's website. That's my good deed for the day.

This toaster has two long slots. It can easily fit 4 slices of bread and it may fit better in your kitchen than one of the huge 4-separate-slot toasters. Toasts nice and evenly so far (only had it a day so I'll update later). Seems average in toasting speed (why is everyone so obsessed with this?)

It's got a digital countdown timer which is very nice (when's my toast gonna be ready???!!!) Only a few simple controls and functions which is all you need. This could be my favorite toaster ever if it keeps doing it's basic job well.

<UPDATE> Still working after 6 months. It doesn't toast quite as evenly as I thought before but it's ok. LOVE the bagel function. To the commenter: yes it beeps when it's done -- but it's not too loud.</UPDATE>...
