Elite Gourmet ECT-3100 4-Slice Long Slot Toaster | Extra Wide Slots for Bagels, Sourdough & Texas Toast | 6 Browning Settings | Reheat, Defrost & Cancel | Built-In Warming Rack | Stainless Steel

This is a very nice toaster for the money - a great value. It works great, as advertised. It looks very nice. The width of a 2-slot toaster, but capability of toasting 4 pieces, perfectly. For my first test: I toasted 2 pieces of thick raisin toast, and they came out to perfection. Nicely browned, heated all the way through with no burnt raisins. I am very pleased with this toaster so much, I purchased a second one for giving as a gift. Thank you!

I've owned this toaster for a few months now and it still looks new and works perfectly. I love being able to toast 4 slices of bread at the same time. Until you buy one you never know how much it cuts down cooking time.. We make a lot of bagels and the slots are wide enough to put in toast 2 at a time. I thought that it might be too bulky, but with the slim design it really doesn't take up more room. It browns evenly and it's easy to get pieces of toast or bagels out of. No more burnt fingers because I'm in a rush. The only con is that there isn't a bagel setting. But I'm willing to live with it;

I can’t say enough great things about the Elite Gourmet Toaster. It is a beautiful stainless steel. I use my toaster at least once a day. There are so many pluses to this toaster that I have been wishing someone would come up with for a long time. To name a few - everything you toast pops up ABOVE the top of the top of the toaster. Finally, no burned finger trying to get hot toast, bagels, etc., out. Six levels of toasting so you have whatever color you prefer to choose from consistently perfect. Next no separation in this 4 slice toaster, plus extra wide slots. So I can toast extra wide and long pieces without loosing part of them because they get stuck in the toaster. Then my favorite new feature, a warming tray!! You hit a lever and up pops a metal “tray” that you can lay what you want to keep warm on. This is perfect because so often my English muffins are ready before the rest of my breakfast. No more cold muffins!! A bit pricey but worth every cent. I highly recommend this toaster. When they say “Elite Gourmet” this is the perfect name!!!!

Received this toaster a couple days ago. So I am still trying it out. I used it a couple times with no bread in it, as recommended. I did not smell any chemical smells coming from it. I then toasted my bread on number 4 setting. It was not dark enough for me. Next time I tried it on highest setting, nicely browned, and did not burn bread. I wished it was a little darker yet, but it turned out nicely. Tomorrow I will push it down twice to see what happens.😊 I do like this toaster very much and looks so nice on the counter.

We have purchased 2 toasters as gifts to adult children (no complaints), 2 for ourselves and 1 was returned prior to use. When fully functioning, this is an excellent toaster. Have had to return 1 at the 'testing' stage and before use because not all of the elements were heating up. No problem with toast being burned - but keep in mind when making multiple consecutive batches the heating elements are already hot and the toast level needs to be reduced slightly to avoid over-toasting. Also, beyond bagels, different types of bread require different toast times, it all depends on bread content variables and freshness so adjust accordingly. We had to replace our first toaster because someone (not me, LOL) had re-toasted a slice 'for just a second', forgot, and forced the lever up manually instead of using the cancel button because of burning toast and we believe it broke the magnet that holds the lever down. Before this, the lever stayed down and worked appropriately. Lesson learned - use the timer always! That's why they have the cancel option - or just unplug if urgent. Also with our first toaster one of the slots no longer worked because our son broke the elements trying to retrieve a small gluten frozen pancake. Definitely operator errors so we are trying again. But back to the frozen pancakes - the inside wire slots are about 1-1/4" apart and allows smaller crooked frozen waffles/pancakes to sometimes get caught between the slot and the heating elements and the food then kind of bakes permanently wrapped in between the wires and are hard to pull out. Hopefully, in their next update, they will reduce the slot distance to IDK maybe .75"? In the meantime, teaching kids to be careful when using with bent frozen pancakes and waffles. Also, I had to use a white sharpie to fill in the hole on the temperature dial to make it easier to see when setting. We all want a $10 toaster but can't dial back time, so the current price is reasonable given the other options.

I bought the full stainless model for $5 more...be advised, it's a different toaster than the others. it's a beautiful toaster and looks great on my counter. It easily toasts all my big sandwich bread with ease without leaving half of the slice white or burned. One little catch is that the full stainless model does NOT have the cool little wire warming rack that pops up. I didn't know this until I got it, but in hindsight it's not a deal breaker. It DOES however have a Bagel function that properly heats only one side of the bagel (hence the extra lighted button), and has markings on to to show orientation. The push down lever is also nicer on the stainless model. It toasts consistently well...I mean, it's not rocket science.

My husband & I went through a few toasters after our old one bit the dust. This Elite long slot toaster proved to be the winner. As stated the slots are extra long and wider than most everyday toasters. These features are a game changer. We can toast any size sliced bread that we like. It's especially great for hardy homemade sour dough. We also appreciate the pop up grilling rack for warming pastries. Its a nice looking appliance., easy to use and browns evenly.

The toaster works well, but it does take a while to reach its full potential. The first 6 more items I toasted (sourdough bread slice, English muffins, and eveything bagesls) were not uniform, with the center not toasted or even warm, nor nearly maximum toasted. It takes a while to use the tool before it starts to work correctly. I'm pleased now after the "break-in" period.

Se ve bonito aunque delicado,no es tan premium pero funciona bien

Calidad, rapidez, vale la pena

We into the MODERN ELECTRONICS ... HOW COOL is it to hav a BAGEL SETTING! & the countdown timer! Very happy with all of the NEW FEATURES!

Worst toaster I have ever had. Description states 1300 watts. And it was only 900 watts. Had to turn dial down as far as it would go, and still burned the toast. On the 2nd. day of use, the toaster would not pop up, the lever only came 1/2 way up. Very poor quality.

La mamada en tostador, yo queria uno asi, facil y sencillo, seleccias bajas y listo, y para limpiarlo ni se diga.
