Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had done so much research on toasters that my husband started making fun of me. Based on the stellar reviews, I was happy to finally settle on the T-Fal, but unfortunately I had the same experience as S. Sherman and Pat "Pretty Old Dolly" - uneven toasting, one-sided toasting, where's the high speed?, etc. I really think it's just a luck of the draw with the individual toaster you receive and so I am in the process of receiving a replacement. Also I DO believe in second chances with some things, so am hoping for better results the next time. UPDATE: No such luck -- same problems with the second toaster (see my photos on this product's main page). The left side of toaster was not too bad; however, as you can see from the photos, there is a definite malfunction here with the right side of the toaster (bottom row of toast). Who wants to be flipping bread all morning in a busy household of five? Not me! Also, while the bread was "down," I stepped away and when the toast popped up, one of the pieces literally FLEW out of the toaster and plopped onto the floor. One disadvantage I guess of those angled slots. Too bad I don't have a dog (or a so-clean-you-can-eat-off-of-it-floor), right? So, it's another return and I'm off to Walmart for a GE 4-slicer recommended to me by my BFF, Susan. I even tried it out at her house. Thanks, Susan.
