Review on Get Twice The Functionality With The Ninja ST100 Foodi Flip Toaster: Compact Toaster Oven And Snack Maker In One by Jeffrey Choudhury

Most toasters with a bagel setting don't actually do a good job of toasting a bagel properly. Usually, the only thing a bagel button does is add more time while toasting both sides on full power, resulting in a bagel with an overly toasted outside (or an under toasted cut side). I bought this Ninja flip toaster specifically because I saw other comments mentioning that it actually toasted bagels properly (toasting only the cut side), and I'm happy to report that it works perfectly.You place the bagel pieces in facing the front of the toaster as indicated, set it to "bagel", and watch as it keeps the front heating element on steady and slowly pulses the back element on and off just to warm up the other side. Comes out perfectly for me at a 4 darkness setting.It's a pretty compact device, so will be good for someone with limited counter space. The only small complaint I have so far is the power cord is attached to the side with the display and controls, so you can't really keep it upright in toaster mode with the button side facing the user unless it's directly in front of a power outlet. It seems like the intended use is to keep it laying flat in toaster oven configuration, and flip it back towards the wall when you want to use it as a standard toaster.I have yet to try out the toaster oven function, but honestly all I wanted was properly toasted bagels, so I'm happy. I've got a few other Ninja small appliances and have had good luck with them, so I predict a good long term experience with this too.
