I want a toaster that toasts BOTH sides of the bread. Any suggestions?I hate that one side is brown and the other untoasted.

I think this toaster does a marvelous job of toasting both sides. Sometimes if you are toasting two pieces of bread at one time on a very light setting the far left of one piece and the far right of the other piece will not toast evenly, but that is the only negative thing I can think to say about this otherwise wonderful (and entertaining ) toaster.

Thjr The Kalorik Toaster that I purchased was dead on arrival, did not work. Amazon refunded all monies, including shipping.

I looked at several toasters before purchasing the Kalorik. I was skeptical at first because of the toaster being different from other toasters but after owning it now for several months I must say that I''M VERY PLEASED with its performance. The heating elements get nice and hot also.

Yes, it toasts evenly on both sides. It also has a bagel setting that will only use the inside heating elements.

I don't sense a disproportionate amount of time to brown. I am very happy with this toaster!

with regards from someone about this being the worst toaster they've ever purchased, for me it's the best. now i can finally toast those large sourdough rounds without needing to cut the slice in half to toast in a smaller capacity toaster. i have two. one on my boat at pier 39 and one at home.

I have not had any problem with uneven toasting. So perhaps it's uneven quality control and I got lucky! All I know is it does the job I got it for.

. I have NO IDEA what you are looking at because ... the picture & my toaster &gt;&gt; http://www.amazon.com/T-fal-TT7461002A-4-Slice-Toaster-Function/dp/B000F0BYRS/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t &lt;&lt; Has 2 buttons. There is no click or anything when I press my toaster buttons but they do light up different. The BAGEL function is to toast only on the one side of the bagels I really don't ever use this cuz I don't like soft on one side / crispy on the other. and All of the settings defrost -- it is heat after all. BUT that said.. the DEFROST button DOES light or not depending on pressing or not. Remember... the "Defrost" & "Bagel" buttons do NOT make noise and you can't FEEL the click when you press either of these buttons.. I know this cuz I JUST CHECKED. I never use them... I just like the toaster shape & way the toast tilts out so I can have it in a appliance garage without taking it out all the way. .

I always use tongs because it is so much easier than digging around trying to get the muffin or bagel out. Just a personal preference. And yes it does toast both sides nicely.

I didn't know that artisan breads need to be run twice through. For the economical price it toasts very well. Sometimes it appears to take a while. But if the bread is long, you will have to cut part of it off and shorten it for it to fit. There are toasters that accommodate longer bread. Cuisanart is the most preferred toaster out there if you can afford it.

We love the toaster. We did have to return the first one. One of the riser bars in the middle was broken. Amazon's was so quick to take or it with credit and an immediate replacement. Settings on toast side are 1 1-2 NatBagel side was slightly warm. It didn't bother us so we checked it out just now. Really no problem unless a very young child was there.again. We love it

I agree with Cheri. The sides are definitely cool touch; once you start moving up toward the top where the slots are, it's a bit warm. But, again agreeing with Cheri, the toaster cools down very quickly and heats up quickly. I'm happy with the purchase.

It should definitely toast anyway. Is your heat setting down on the actual Toast setting? And you have to turn the timer dial past 10 minutes and then back down to the brownness you want for your toast. If you're doing this and still not working, time for repairman or replacement. Good luck

No. When we first tried it the side of toast to the inside of toaster was much lighter and the top crust was burned. Then we started laying the bread on its side and we are having more success. Still a tad lighter on one side, but not enough to hassle with returning the toaster. Have not tried Bagels or anything yet. Just regular bread.

I really like this toaster. It toasts bread very well. It also has a bagel setting, where it only toasts the one side. The "keep warm" is a plus, but not its main asset, in my opinion.

the problem is that larger than normal mass produced white bread have a difficult time fitting in the toaster slots. I have to flip the bread to toast it all and that means parts of the bread get more heat than the rest. If I watch it the entire time I can head this off, but I thought the toaster was automatic so I wouldn't have to stand there the whole time. Mine is the four slot type.

I found this Proctor Silex toaster oven to heat very uneven for everything. Also always felt hot from the outside... was very poorly made. I returned it and bought and Oster, toaster/convection over. A little more money but well worth it. I have it for a year now and make almost all my meals in it! Great toast too! I hope this helps.

Yes, with one caveat. We use only artisan bread, and we like the way it turns out on the highest setting. It never gets too brown on the edges, but it doesn't really get brown in the center, at least so it's noticeable. It tastes and "chews" just like totally browned toast. The high-tech features are fun, and I personally like the sound that tells me the toast has "popped" up. The sides stay cool. It looks nice with the stainless in our kitchen, though it is not really stainless. We bought it primarily because it is long and thin and doesn't take up a lot of precious space on the counter.

Toasts bread to perfection. When it was new the bottom was a little more brown than the top. But after using it for several months, both top and bottom are evenly browned.
