Great hosts and perfect show
How do you know if you want "a bit more" until it pops? Does it suck it back down, toast a bit more then pop it back up? Because that would be cool!!
I went through three cheaper toasters before doing some research and spending the money on the SMEG. It’s gorgeous, heavy duty, wipes down easily and toasts perfectly every time. We’ve had it 3 years now and it still looks and works like brand new.
The link is to the short model; the long slot model is more. Also, the better choice is the next model up, which I have. It includes the lift and look feature that the linked model doesn’t. But it’s more money. Still worth it though.
Simple just turn on angle with finger.unless a bagel.
Small appliances, even from high end or well loved brands make hit or miss appliance models and that makes different small sppliance reviews so critical. Pay attention to the year of the review as troubled model appliances one year do get improved in terms of durability. Pay attention very carefully to customer reviews on a product and read between the lines as some customers are paid influences while others may have unrealistic expectations or tend to abuse a product. Some product manufactures only test their products for short term durability vs long term durability.
Neither of these products is going to get me to buy. It’s a plain old simple toaster that works is what I want. They have been making them for almost 100 years. Don’t give me cute, give me works good! Or I give up toast and you can stand in the unemployment line with others who just can’t get easy things right.
Bagel setting toasts on one side. This is how it is supposed to be. The guy literally complains that the toaster toasts on one side on bagel setting. Facepalm
Toasters I go to exclusive toaster for mega wealthy..we have a jolly time…asfor primitive machine that’s for the servants and his help then if the eggs runny..I must take a shower posting about this makes me feel unclean.all of my ‘ BREAD ‘ is fresh off the feds printing press..oh I prefer sour dough.
Oh, the squeaky voice on this guy! 👎🏻
My toaster is very slow. I can cook three eggs OE and still be waiting for the toast at the end. You should have timed each toaster and given us a winner. How can you miss this basic point?
Y’all should check out the Balmuda steam toaster oven and test/review that
I bought a cheap Oster about a year ago, POS, normal bread product doesn’t retract in the slot to complete that the top.
We got a Breville toaster oven for our housewarming/wedding gift and it’s been 6 years since then, and it’s still working great. It cuts down on that extra toast appliance and I can make up to 6 pieces of toast, or a combination of waffles, toast, rolls, etc. But, I can of course also bake in it, keep things warm, re-heat. It’s awesome!
this was the dumbest review ever, they didn’t even look at half of them, or show you the toast!
Great info, love Adam and Bridget segments!
Scientific Review , Well Done ✅
This lady is hot, always like seeing her.
I bought the Breville, but the $79 one has the short regular slots. The one with the long slots is $99 from Amazon.
I had a KitchenAid KMT2115ER Toaster with Manual High-Lift Lever toaster I bought back in 2016, and it conked out today. Thought I paid a lot for it, so I checked my order history and realized I only paid $40. Now the price is $49.99. Can’t wait to buy the Dash Clear view one now at $49.52. One thing I love about shopping online, I am able to keep a record of how long I had it, how much it cost and what the price is now.
Do you have to stand on top of her? geez. back off. i’d hate someone that close to me.
What is wrong with this guy? My 20-year-old toaster toast bagels only on one side. It even has an icon on the top describe in the direction to put the bagel in. How was this difficult?
My wife bought our toaster because it has a retracting cord.
I would make her toast in the morning 😉😈
Don’t buy Cuisinart. It has a good reputation, but their toaster is crap. We bought Black & Decker. It’s not a long slot, but it works.
Before I spend eighty bucks on a freakin toaster I will get an ole coat hanger and toast my bread on the stove.
I’d like to borrow Bridget’s toaster oven. Rarr!
I don’t even pay $80 for wine.
I have a toaster for toast and a toaster oven for everything else.
Man, I didn’t realize you his show was running for so long. I think I remember seeing that guy when he didn’t have grey hair.
Does anybody know what is the watch he is wearing?
The one that works, lord have mercy
I had that Breville toaster and I would NOT recommend it. The features worked great but it behaved strangely after about a year’s use and ended up causing the breaker to trip each time you tried to use it. It only lasted a little over a year, just after the warrantee expired. Looking at Amazon reviews, many others had similar issues. I’d stay away from that one.
She looks as bored as I felt. Nothing can make a toaster exciting — or even interesting.
70 something for a quality toaster? Ridiculous.
The best toaster is the Revolution R180. The Breville is nowhere near as good (I owned the one reviewed; it’s currently on the curb). The R180 is much faster, really makes items taste better (crispy outside and moist inside).
Wait, what, where’s the Kitchenaid Rolls Royce of Toasters? 🤑
I want a toaster that lasts for at least 10 years.. I don’t think that Breville does.
did not see what i was looking for. a space saving long slot toaster
I still have and use my parents toaster that I use at least 3 times a week and it’s over 60 years old.
No problems with it. It toasts excellent and MADE IN THE USA.
Here’s a list that helped me out.

In the end, I went with #7.
"1:42"
We gave up on slot toasters years ago. We just use a toaster oven now.
I’m Off to buy that Breville model. Thank you!
DUALIT CLASSIC TOASTER IS BY FAR THE BEST ONE ON THE MARKET.
My SMEG toaster is amazing. And yes, I only want one side of the bagel toasted!
i have that Breville toaster. more money but it is great and about 4 years old now, we use it every day.
Per this review and recommendation, I am sorry to say, I bought the Dash toaster. Granted, it is not top of the line and people will say, you get what you pay for but when buying a ‘toast"er you would expect to at least get toast! This model only toasts bread at the very top two settings. It goes from 1-7 and truly, only toasts at 6.5, or 7 and even that is sketchy. All other settings give you warm bread. It’s really too bad because I was expecting good things from the review.
This guy is so informative and helpful about these damn toaster?!
I do kind of like the bagel setting on the one toaster, where it toasts just the one side of bagel / English muffin.
The only Dash Clearview toaster I could find at the Dash website is $49.99
