Review on BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Stainless Steel Toaster with Ombré Finish - TR4310FBD by Sarjus Baer

Bought this toaster to replace the 4 slice toaster we had for 10 years. Our old brand/model of toaster was discontinued so we had to start from scratch, reading reviews etc to find a new one. This toaster lives up to all the positive reviews that have been posted about it. We bake our own homemade bread in a bread maker, so our slices of bread are larger and have a different shape than the uniform store-bought bread. This toaster is not big enough to toast a whole slice of homemade bread. The top or side depending on how you place the disc sticks out. To solve this problem we just cut our slices in half and put the halves in the toaster and it toasts them fully and perfectly. If you have a large family and want to bake 4 whole slices of homemade bread on toast at the same time, then you may have the problem that the bread is too big to fit completely in the slots. Cutting them all in half might take too much time/effort? It all depends on the person and the situation I guess. Just let everyone know what works for us. This is not a problem for "camp bread" of the usual size. Roast is always perfect. We haven't had a single burnt, stuck, or undercooked slice. The color scheme of this ombre toaster is one of a kind and when I bought it I was a little unsure what it would look like. But there was no other 4-slice toaster that had such good reviews and met the other criteria I was looking for, so I went with this one. The ombre color is actually very beautiful. We have a traditional kitchen, not a modern or special color scheme. This toaster always stands on the counter, not distracting or sticking out. I would definitely recommend this toaster to anyone looking for a 4 slice toaster. Shipping was flawless, packaging was great, no damage, no assembly. Simply place and connect. Very happy with this purchase. We just hope it lasts 10 years like our last toaster!
