   This review is for – Oster 2-Slice Toaster with Advanced Toast Technology, Stainless Steel===============================AppearanceVery nice looking appliance that reminds me of the metal toasters from the 1960’s. But it does like to show fingerprints and smudges – even when I don’t remember touching the darned thing. So I keep a microfiber cloth in a kitchen drawer to touch it up every now and then.FunctionsThis toaster is advertised as having ‘Advanced Toast Technology’ but I didn’t see any explanation of that term in the documentation – although it may be in there somewhere. My guess is the marketers are referring to the three buttons that light up, located on either side of the toasting-darkness knob. The buttons are labeled Bagel, Frozen, and Cancel, but I also didn’t see anything in the included documentation explaining exactly what to expect when using the Bagel and Frozen buttons.PerformanceAs with most toasters, there’s a lever that must be pressed down to lower the bread into the toaster and turn the heating elements on. I found that the lever has to be ‘very’ firmly pressed down for the platform to lock into the toasting position. Only time will tell if this is normal, or whether it’s an indication that something is amiss.As expected the Cancel button immediately raises the platform the bread sits on, and turns the heating coils off. At the end of one toasting cycle I had a bagel get stuck, such that it kept the platform from raising and the coils from turning off. Pressing the Cancel button did nothing because the bagel was holding the platform down, so I had to pull up on the lever. To manually raise the platform in this situation, enough force had to be applied that I thought it might break. But it didn’t, and the toaster still works well. (Maybe I should have pressed the Cancel button while lifting the lever.)My tests of the Bagel and Frozen buttons did not show any advantages to using them. Using the same toasting darkness setting I initially set for unfrozen sandwich bread, all subsequent tests of button combinations for frozen and unfrozen bagels and sandwich bread returned the same results. The Frozen and Bagel settings ‘may’ lengthen the toasting cycle, but my tests did not show a meaningful difference. A sentence or two in the documentation explaining exactly what to expect from these buttons would have been helpful.Bread slices are toasted slightly darker on the sides closest to the outside of the toaster, but it’s usually only noticeable if I’m looking for it.It Gets HotAfter one cycle of toasting 2 slices of bread, the top of the toaster gets very warm, but nowhere near warm enough to burn my skin. After running the toaster two cycles back-to-back, the top is warm enough to make me think twice about touching the toaster top. After 3+ cycles the top feels hot enough to provide a significant burn, if I were to leave my hand in contact. My take… so what? It’s a toaster that works by running electricity through thin wires that get red-hot. So enjoy your toast and use common sense, especially if young children have access to it. And if you do touch the top of the toaster when it’s hot, your automatic reflexes should force you to retract your hand before you get a skin burn – because you’ll never actually touch the red-hot wires.Common Sense Tip: Do not use the toaster when it’s sitting directly under a cabinet as the rising heat will eventually discolor the paint or finish. And of course there’s always a fire danger if the cabinet is close enough. (Naturally, t’s safe to place the plugged-in toaster under a cabinet, and pull it clear of the cabinet when in use.)Bottom Line:It’s a nice looking, competitively priced toaster that does a good job at toasting bread and bagels (without using the advanced function buttons) , while the claim of Advanced Toast Technology seems to be overblown.I really like this toaster and recommend it!

   the one odd thing with this toaster.. and maybe it’s my OCD.. however.. in the instructions it does say for darker, more toasted product to adjust to a higher number.. the knob for this is graduated from 7 to 1.. there is a picture of a slice of bread with a 7 at the far left turn of the knob and a 1 in the slice of bread at the far right turn of the knob.. The 7 setting for the darkest toast, the picture of the slice of bread with the 7 in it is light.. the 1 in the slice of bread at the other end of the turn of the knob is black.. it kind of goes against the instructions and logic.. ANYWAY..??? Great product.. love it

   Bought this toaster for my elderly mother. She likes its simplicity, it’s easy to use, and looks great in her kitchen. Keeping it on my list for when I’m ready to replace my own toaster!

   I really like this toaster..I esp love the fact that it’s lightweight. The controls are simple. I esp love that there’s a button that lights up at the bottom that allows u to cancel toasting the bread if u change ur mind. No complaints easy to use. The crumb tray is easy to remove at the base. Looks good on the counter

   I have had my last toaster by Oster for 12 years. The only reason I ordered a new one was it stopped toasting on one side. 12 years is a wonderful time of such a wonderful product.

   I read reviews about issues getting the lever to stay down so tested this before I plugged it in in case I had a defective unit. And sure enough, lever would not stay down, but plugged it in and it works perfectly. The defrost feature on frozen split English muffins defrosts them and then toasts them just the way I like. I also really like the cancel button, much easier than forcing the lever up when you don’t want to leave the item for the full time. This replaced a very basic toaster that cost almost as much as this one. So far I am happy with my purchase.

   This toaster replaced one that was 9 years old and simply stopped toasting properly. This toaster looks good, is easy to operate and the toast is always perfect as I like it.

   I use it daily. So far so good. As of now, I have used the frozen bread feature once, and it did a good job as well. The construction is good, but it is still just a toaster. If you’re looking for a spaceship, this won’t cut it.
