Elite GourmetECT1027B Cool Touch Toaster with 6 Temperature Settings & Extra Wide 1.25" Slots for Bagels, Waffles, Specialty Breads, Puff Pastry, Snacks, ETL Certified, 2 Slices, Black

Perfect size for my kitchen and doesn’t take up much counter space. Toasts evenly, is easy to use, and stays cool to the touch while in use. Simple, compact, and does the job.

This toaster worked out better than I thought it would. I liked the gray color and also the size wasn’t as big as I thought it was from online photo. Fits on my counter very nicely. Best of all it works great!

Very basic little toaster. Does not toast evenly but we're not that fussy. We just wanted something to toast bread.We just got black to match the other appliances so color is good. Speed of toasting is normal. It looks sleek and smaller so doesn't take up a lot of space on the counter. Nice long cord.Sturdiness seems to be average. The biggest plus is its value.No fancy bells & whistles. After reading one review, I used a white paint pen and highlighted the indentation on the dial so we can see what the setting is.One other thing... regular Aunt Millie's Lite bread seems to be too tall bot once again, we're not stressing about it.If all you want is toast, this is a good choice.

I had an Elite toaster and I needed a new one and this toaster may be a bit more in price but so worth it.I am impressed with the model size and to able to view the time the toast will be done! I highly recommendthis toaster.

It’s an inexpensive little toaster that is flimsy but it works. It takes up very little room. I have a toaster oven but find a toaster is much quicker for toast. I've shopped and measured in stores and no matter what you spend the slots are the same, 1 1/2 wide and long enough to accomodate everything but rye bread and sourdough. My last toaster, an Amazon store pick lasted 7 years this is less substantially made so if it survives 4 I'll still be happy. A great product for a condo or rv where space is an issue. The light on the shade knob on mine doesn’t work but I’ll deal with it. Now that everything seems to be made in China, even American companies I feel we’ve learned to lower the bar on expectations.

Great little toaster. Very cost effective. Low price, works well.

Recently, I have tried a cool-touch toaster with six temperature settings, and this toaster has been doing wonderfully. With several heat settings, it allows precise toasting-from light golden brown to a crisp finish. With the extra-wide 1.25" slots, this model is very versatile and should be able to handle anything from thick bagels to waffles with ease. It's an excellent choice for a wide variety of bread and snack options. The cool-touch exterior is a nice safety feature, especially if you have children or pets around.The toaster was easy to unbox, and it was very well-packed: the toaster inside a box with protecting foam all over, so that no scratches could take place. I liked how neat the toaster was and how compact, in general. The black color of it fits very modernly in my kitchen without occupying too much space. All controls, including the temperature dial and the push-down lever, were very intuitive and self-explanatory, which made setting up super easy.In terms of personal experience, I’ve found the toaster to be quick and reliable. For example, it toasted my bagel evenly on both sides, and the extra-wide slots made it easy to toast thicker slices of bread. I’ve also used it for waffles, and it works great for those as well. The six settings provide plenty of options to find your perfect level of toastiness. Plus, it’s surprisingly quiet compared to other toasters I’ve used in the past, making breakfast time a little more peaceful.That said, there are a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning. First, while the toaster is very functional, it does lack a few advanced features like a defrost or reheat setting, which some users may find useful. Additionally, the crumb tray is a bit shallow, so you’ll need to be more attentive when cleaning to prevent crumbs from spilling. Despite these small cons, the toaster delivers excellent value for its price and is perfect for everyday use.

This toaster does exactly what it promises. It’s compact, lightweight, and fits well on a small kitchen counter. The 6 temperature settings give you decent control, and the extra-wide slots are great for bagels, waffles, and even puff pastry without jamming.It’s not a high-end toaster, but for the price, it gets the job done. The outside stays cool to the touch, which is great if you have kids around. I do wish the toast came out a bit more evenly sometimes, but it’s not a deal-breaker.Overall, a solid basic toaster that works reliably for everyday use.
