For sure an expensive toaster - but much to enjoy! I like that i could toss this on 12mo financing so its not hitting my wallet in one lump. Incredibly easy setup. I like the idle clock display. No issues waking it up. Mine came with the panini press as an added “gift”, which I have used more to make grilled ham and cheese more than I have used for toast/bagels. I do wish it had the 270 version layout, but I’ll live lol. I def do not feel the panini press is valued right…25-30$ Or included with purchase. The panini press does at times need to be manually adjusted as it pulls into the machine. Is it better than a regular grilled sandwich… heck no… but takes way less effort.

I LOVE this toaster. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing and fun, but it’s so functional and easy to use. The moment I received it, my friends and I tried to toast literally every type of baked good you could toast. The touch screen on this toaster is such a great addition and convenient when choosing what to toast as every toasting is catered to the type of bread we choose to toast. Also, the shade of browning that you choose is fairly accurate! With this, the count down and soft alarm to know when the toast is done toasting is also a really nice addition! This toaster also isn’t a pop-up toaster - it elevates the bread up and down which makes me feel a lot safer when toasting my food. As well as, the easy pop-out crumb tray doesn’t hurt the aesthetic or functionality of the toaster - it’s perfect! This is the best toaster I have ever had hands down and my friends and i love it SO much. Disclaimer: Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

Excellent product, my kids love it. Know they make their own sandwich and paninis.

It does a lousy job on toasting bagels not purchased from a supermarket. I purchase locally baked bagels which are to high for the toaster and about 1” is not toasted. The frozen bagel is not toasted in the middle and using a higher number the bagel is burnt. Same issue with English muffins. Not brown the second toasting comes out burnt. The same with bread. The picture shown on the toaster isn’t what you get on the toasted product. Not very happy paying $300+ for a toaster that doesn’t perform well at that price. I would say research and testing is questionable.

This is amazing!! The quality is a 5 star. I had veen waiting a very long time to get one. It makes the perfect toast and everyone is eating bagels this week. We absolutely love it.
