Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 78220 Quik Serve Toaster, White
Customer Review: Confusing Toaster
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the toaster but I originally thought it had a moving interior similar to a industrial toaster. This toaster just toasts like a regular machine and then opens to release out the bottom when done.Customer Review: Disappointing toaster
Summary: 1 Stars
My experience with this toaster certainly was different from the other review. Even on the lightest setting, one corner of the bread burned. Also, if you have a large slice of bread it sits above the toaster and doesn't get toasted. I've gone back to the toaster oven I was using before. It may take longer but it does a better job.Customer Review: Doesn't heat
Summary: 2 Stars
I acquired this toaster by redeeming award points from my job. I'd be pretty miffed if I had spent money on this thing. As it is, I'm a little upset about wasting my earned awards on it.
Here's the bottom line. The ONLY benefit this thing gives over other toasters is the ability to toast long items such as rye bread slices or a slice of any elongated bread such as fresh from a bakery. This is also the only reason it earns two stars instead of just one.
Before I got this, I read reviews and descriptions, and was mistakenly under the impression that the bread moves gradually through the toaster until coming out toasted from the bottom; like a conveyor of sorts. It does not. It works exactly like any other toaster except the item being toasted falls through a pseudo-trapdoor instead of popping back up through the slot. The slot is no deeper than any other toaster, so if something sticks out the top of your existing toaster, it will in this one too.
The main problem I have with this toaster is not only does it not toast evenly (it will burn a "band" across the middle before toasting the top and bottom), but it toasts the outside very quickly without heating through. In other words, if like me, you like toasting frozen waffles, it will burn the outside while not even heating the waffle through. The waffle just doesn't get hot overall. It won't even melt a pat of butter.
My advice...unless you toast long/rye bread exclusively, stay away from this toaster. It is otherwise useless.
Customer Review: Fast
Summary: 4 Stars
Haven't used the toaster alot, but when I did, it was fast and accurate with the browning of the toast. I like the cancel button as well and the wide slots.Customer Review: HIGH PRICE FOR A BELL AND WHISTLE
Summary: 3 Stars
YEAH! HIGH PRICED FOR A BELL AND WHISTLE. THE BELL BEING THE LONG SLOT, AND THE WHISTLE BEING THE DROPOUT FEATURE. I THINK I JUST GET THE BELL (LONG SLOT TOASTER ) FOR $19.99
