Oster 4-Slice Digital Toaster with Touch Screen, Bagel Toaster with Timer & 6 Shade Settings, Stainless Steel

After more than 16 years, I had to look for a new toaster. I had the Oster 4 slice toaster, and it worked great for years, but unfortunately I accidentally dropped something in the toaster and then it melted in there.At first I was going to just get the same toaster, but wanted to see what else was available. My biggest complaint on my old toaster was uneven toasting. One side would be toasted more and you’d have to flip the bread or whatever you’re toasting and toast it again to get even toasting. So I really wanted something that was more consistent. I researched a lot of toasters and unfortunately there are so many options and so many opinions, it was really hard to choose. But this Oster toasted had the highest percentage of 5 star reviews by a lot and other video reviews showed even toasting so I decided to try it and I’m so glad we did. I just got the two slicer this time instead of the four.- The display light front works great for me whether the lights in the kitchen are on or off. (Took a pic of both for reference). The only time it was a little harder to see is if it’s right underneath our under cabinet lights but even then it wasn’t bad.-We love the countdown feature but sometimes the kids get confused and think they selected the level 6 toasting since the timer starts at the top and I have to remind them that it’s just the timer.-The quick peek and extra 30 sec toasting are also awesome features. I took pics of levels 2,3 and 4 toasting. It toasted evenly on each side. Occasionally I’ll toast it for 30 seconds more. Levels 3-4 are the ideal doneness for us.So far we really love this toaster and hope it works for another 16 years! It looks sleek and modern on the counter.

I love those toaster! The functionality, the way it looks on my counter! It’s easy for my kids to use.

I don't usually get excited about appliances, but this sure brought a smile to my face. The price is fair, the service in receiving it was the usual good Amazon experience. Now about the toaster. It's flat out pretty. The design is like nothing else out there. It's super easy to use. It toasts beautifully be it a slice of bread or a bagel. Several people have mentioned that the face panel is pale. I've had no problem seeing it. Also, after a few days, you know where the setting is that you want so you don't even have to look for it. Also, I love the feature that allows me to see how much toasting time is left. Your toast pops up when done and you can easily lift the lever to raise it high enough not to burn your fingers when taking it out of the toaster. I did go ahead and buy the extended warranty. The price spread over a 3 year period is cheap insurance that the toaster is covered. This was an excellent choice. If you buy this toaster, you'll keep it.

I have purchased several toasters over the past few months in an attempt to find one that evenly toasts on both sides of the bread. I accidentally discovered this on cyber Monday and decided to give it a try after seeing all the positive reviews. When it arrived I immediately plugged it in and ran it without bread to eliminate any odors. I was so happy to see that ALL the elements were working perfectly which means EVEN toasting. Then I put in some bread and started to experiment with the browning levels. I use level 4 the most. So far I have used regular bread, English muffins and bagels. My only issue is that the bagel function doesn’t work. It toasts on both sides not just the cut side of the bagel So only 4 stars instead of Five for that reason. But otherwise I LOVE this toaster! It is absolutely beautiful and blends well with my other appliances The features I really appreciate are the quick check lever and the countdown button. The controls on my toaster are well illuminated and easy to see. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great toaster.

No complaints about the toaster. We’ve had it for like 18 months and we use it pretty often since my kids really like bagels. I think it works super well and gets the right amount of toast on there. I have had to increase from 4 to 5 because 4 used to be the perfect toast but now it’s five. Probably just happens as the toaster gets older, or I’ve just started to like crispier food. Either way this is a great toaster

Had this toaster for a year now and here is why it wins:1) looks "vera nice like" (attractive appearance and seems to stay smudge free)2) works great (as decent as any heated-wire type can)3) nice keep warm and defrost features with bagel option too4) affordable compared to a new-tech laser or infrared toaster that might actually be better and work like one would expect in the year 20255) quiet (although i would like a beep notification) and very durable so farThe bad:Why is it that every toaster made in the sub $200 range has ten settings that NEVER make sense?!power 1= warm, power 2= light toast, 3= nice darker toasting that i prefer and then, of course, 4-10 burn the house down and turn everything to volcanic ash!!!!! Stupid engineers. Get A.I. to figure it out or something. It's 2025 so there's no excuse for this "working as intended with no toaster ever using anything above level 3!!! We, as humanity, now have words on fitted sheets, no indoor smoking anywhere, and the s*t*nic daylight savings will be gone soon someday soon too. So there is hope!

Works really good, display is not bright enough.

I like that has different levels to toast 😁, perfect size and doesn't spend too much time to prepare each bread
