Four letter word best describes this toaster... junk!

Terrible low quality. Bread toasts more on one side

This is a nice enough toaster that gets the job done. It is very sleek looking, and will fit right in with most modern kitchen decor. It is very straightforward and simple to use. There are only 3 buttons: Cancel, Bagel, and Frozen. They are fairly self explanatory, and work as expected. It would've been nice if there were a little illustration or something that told you which way to put the bagel, but it is cut side facing in, as would be expected, so that's not really a big deal. My only critique comes down to performance. It didn't really toast my items evenly. Whether I was toasting bread, bagel, or something else, it always seemed to toast the bottom of the item quicker than the top, resulting in uneven toast. It wasn't so bad that it ruined the toast or anything, but it's at least worth mentioning. All that being said, it's a toaster. It has one job, and it does it good enough. Could be better, but it's not a bad product by any means.

This GE 2-slice toaster is very attractive with a combination of brushed stainless and chrome. GE recommends setting the browning level to 7 and running the toaster for one cycle prior to first use. Being a new product, it will put off a bit of an initial odor during this process. The toaster’s simple, straight forward design makes its use very intuitive. Simply turn the control knob to choose toasting level from one of seven shades from lighter to dark. Hit Cancel if you need to stop the toasting process at any time. If using the Bagel setting place the outside of the bagel towards the inside of the toaster to toast to keep the exterior of the bagel less toasted than the inside. For frozen bread utilize the Frozen button. The height of this toaster was similar to our old one, but still a bit taller at almost 8” so keep that in mind in terms of the space between your upper and lower cabinets. I feel the price is a bit high at $49.99 since this has the typical functions of a standard, 2-slice toaster which will still not accommodate a longer slice of bread. Also, the weight of the toaster is on the light so it just makes one wonder about the quality of the components or how durability will be over time.

The first thing you want a toaster to do is the only thing you want a toaster to do...make toast! In my household that last word can take on different meanings and requirements. If your just throwing a couple slices of bread in you can burn it to a crisp for a nice piece of charcoal or you can make a nice piece of warm bread. Whatever your definition of "toast" is it can do it the way you want it, you just have to learn it settings. Both my wife and daughter use a gluten free bread, one is frozen and one is not. With the Bagel and Frozen setting, they can dial it in just right. And the Cancel button helps not over do it when you are learning the machine. Definitely use the high setting for the first use with no bread as the instructions say, it burns off the oils from manufacturing and cures the metal. The Stainless steel and chrome look is really nice and there is an LED light around the CANCEL button when the toaster is activated. Nice touch. I don't normally commit on the instructions that come with devices, but on this one I was left scratching my head as there isn't much to tell with a Toaster (they make sure you know not to use it in a bathtub!) but the print media is like a cardboard, not too "green".

Got this to replace our old toaster. It is very efficient and does a consistent job in all aspects. Slots are wide enough to accommodate oddly shaped pieces. Stainless steel finish looks very good on our counter and toaster is very stylish. Controls are intuitive and easy to operate. Very satisfied

Toasts unequally. Bottom is dark top is light. Works okay

The GE - Stainless Steel 2-Slice Toaster is amazing. I just love it. It's sleek, and elegant, with a ton of features that make the perfect toast and bagel every time. There's nothing like having a traditional toaster in the kitchen, and the GE Stainless Steel 2-Slice Toaster takes that experience to a new level. The option to select the type of bread is great. Then select the degree of shade for the bread you use to create the perfect texture every time. The best thing about this toaster is you can easily make toast of varying textures for your family if they prefer lighter or darker toasted bread. I've used the toaster dozens of times and it's always a great slice of toast/bagel every time. I highly recommend the The GE - Stainless Steel 2-Slice Toaster.

I received the GE 2 slice toaster as part of the Best Buy Tech Insider Network in exchange for my opinion of the product. This GE toaster does everything it is advertised to to. It has multiple settings for how done you prefer your toast and each setting seems to be accurate in the amount of doneness it dials in. In all, there are 7 different shading options. In addition to the shading options, this toaster has buttons specifically set for Bagels, frozen pastries and a cancel button. The openings are wide and the speed in which the toaster heats is very good. The toaster is compact, light weight and the stainless steel blends well with other stainless appliances. Overall, this toaster is a good buy for anyone in the market for a 2 slice toaster.

... it toasts! It's a toaster. It is a nice stainless steel and very simple. A turn nob to set the number for doneness. And 3 buttons for "frozen," "bagel" and "cancel." Depending on which you use, it illuminates a pretty blue ring around the button so that you know that's what it is set to. The number dial for doneness goes up to 7. I put my bread on 3 and it was super brown! I mean VERY brown. I like my toast light brown. So that was good, because I know I only need to put it on 2 for toast. My frozen waffle came out well also. This toaster has it's crumb tray on the bottom like usual and you pull it out from the back. It's nice and get the job done. I'm not sold on the high price point though. But good toaster. Peace.

Now normally in a toaster I would have said that there isn't much to say other than the color and the number of slices. I previously used a behemoth of a 4 slice toaster, and we no longer needed that kind of capacity. I find the slots on this toaster to be larger than the one it replaces and the dial having 7 "shades" gives me more options for light/darkness than I previously had. Well made, quick, powerful, not entirely perfect, but getting pretty close. This is a solid choice from a long-standing appliance maker that won't steer you wrong.

I purchased this toaster for use in my second home. The quality is great; the stainless steel is thick and durable. It easily resists scratches and the stainless steel makes it really easy to clean. The crumb tray at the bottom is easy to access and clean as well. The cord is quite short; hence the four star rating. Other than the short cord, this toaster does everything it should. The settings are sensitive and allow you to choose exactly how dark or light you prefer your toast to be. The heating elements inside warm up fast, however, this toaster takes about as long as any other toaster I’ve tried. For the regular price (not on sale), this was a great deal and I would definitely purchase this again. I would recommend this toaster.

This toaster has been a pleasant surprise. it's not out of the ordinary to come across a toaster that doesn't meet your standards of toasting. So far with this toaster I am quite pleased. The toasting itself is very even over the whole piece. It does take a few runs to figure out your preferred setting. The slots are a good size to fit just about anything "toastable" in it. This toaster isn't anything fancy, but it does look great on the counter. It's a bit bulky compared to my old toaster though.

I love the stainless steel look of this toaster and it works really great! It's a simple toaster with 2 different settings that makes it easy for anyone to use. You can either choose frozen or bagel and the last button is cancel. The last knob is how toasted you want your bread or bagel. Aside from how easy it is to work, its very nicely made and nice to look at. Its also very lightweight, but doesn't feel cheap. I love it! Not much to say or complain about it.

Our family is a big user of the toaster, especially for breakfast - from regular toast, to peanut butter toast, to frozen waffles. So, it is rather important that it works the way we need it to. Sometimes, toasters can be hit or miss on how well they toast. Luckily, this toaster works quite well!! I could be humorous and say that this makes excellent toast, but, in fact, it does make great toast! For making toast, it does it very evenly. I found my perfect Shade setting at 4.25, and it comes out great every time. It has a Frozen button which is designed for toasting frozen bread, but it works quite well with frozen waffles. We always had to run 1.5 cycles to get them cooked right with our previous toaster, but just one now with that setting (at 4.5 Shade). And, of course, the Bagel button turns off the outside heating elements, so it just toasts the one side of the bagel. Also, when it pops up, it is rather quiet. The outside design looks good. All stainless steel shell and chrome plasitc buttons and lever. The stainless steel design matches perfectly with our other GE stainless steel appliances. One thing I prefer with our previous toaster was that all of the controls were along the side, so it could be turn against the wall and take up a little less counter space. Also, the crumb tray isn't quite as easy to remove without turning it completely around and moving it to the edge of the counter. All in all, this is a great toaster and we are glad we got it!

It was a Christmas present on my brother's wish list. He wanted a simple to use yet quality toaster that can accommodate a bagel. After an intensive research, he picked this one and has been happy with this toaster.

As far as toasters go, this one works just as expected. I was looking for something to match my other stainless steel appliances and landed on this one at an affordable price. I do really like that the slots on it seem wider and deeper, making it easier to fit the bigger slices of bread or ensuring your bagels get toasted evenly. I like my toast toasted to a light brown color and setting 4 seems to work for me. The only reason for a 4-star review is because overall the toaster seems a little cheap. It's very light and looks like it could dent easily. The buttons and slider seem kind of flimsy and look like they might wear after prolonged use, but I have high hopes that this will last long enough. As long as it toasts my bread, I'm okay with it.

In a day and age where it is really hard to get what you want, this seems to deliver. I wanted stainless steel, I didn't want anything too fancy and I don't need a toaster all the time. The one I had was not working anymore, so I needed something. Things I like: -REALLY easy to push down. This still throws me because the other one you needed to push down hard! -Good for eggos. I like 'em cooked, with the "frozen" feature, they are really pretty perfect. -Easy to keep clean. The other one was a terrible pain. But it was old.

Good product 5 star. Looks really good - matches our appliances. My mother loves toast and loves to use it

Stylish and well functioning toaster. Easy to use.
