Review on 🍞 Hamilton Beach Black 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots, Shade Selector, Toast Boost, and Auto Shutoff (22633) by Tara Williams

This toaster is rubbish! The bagels are meant to be toasted by heating the center coil sets like a traditional toaster, leaving only the outer coil sets to perform the heating function. I had to set the browning dial to 7 (highest) and run it through 2 cycles to get a lightly toasted bagel. I also missed a slice of bread at shot #7 but didn't hit the bagel button. He toasted both sides, but the bread didn't get very dark, it was still eatable. I would have thought that the highest setting would actually make the toast very dark. I called HB Consumer Services and they told me it was defective and I had to send it back to Revain. I did so and re-ordered the toaster (#2). This block works the same as the first one. If you're looking for a CHEEP toaster that doesn't work as advertised, then this is it!
