Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not sure why it is so difficult to find a decent toaster. We just returned the Aicok toaster. It took forever to toast anything. We then bought this one based on the reviews and it broke after the second time using it. Toaster slice carriages are jammed in the upward position. Makes a clicking sound. In any case there is a motor that moves the toaster carriage up and down. I can imagine that over time in high heat the motor would fail. Anyway this one was defective from the get-go. This toaster was shipped to us in it's original box. No boxing. No padding. Just the manufacturer's box. I can't exclude that the toaster was damaged in transit. Anyway, defective toaster. Beware.
