Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I started this semester of college, I accidentally burned my old toaster (I also burns eggs, which I'm told is quite a talent.) I had to get a quick replacement that worked on the cheap. It's been several months now, and though I'm back at home, I've still been using this toaster. It's a wonderful toaster, but it has several big drawbacks discussed below. I'd still recommend it. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: This toaster is cheap and arrived quickly (for us 2-3 days) The different settings generally work well, particularly the defrost feature It's space efficient, and quite durable. It looks nice in the kitchen Cons: This guy is not very easy to clean as you can see from my photos. If you're smaller pieces of bread in this toaster, their is no good way to take them out on your own (the toaster doesn't have a great ejecting/popping function). I have lightly burnt my fingers multiple times trying to take it out. This is actually quite frustrating. When you first get the toaster, it emits a weird smell. The instructions say to use it a few times in an open space with nothing in it and then this goes away. In my case, the smell did go away after 4/5 toasts in my parents garage. Overall: This toaster has served me well in these last few months. For $29 I think the flaws are manageable enough that the toaster is ultimately a good buy.
