Review on Oster 2097682 Metropolitan Collection 2 Slice Toaster in Gray with Rose Gold Accents - Sleek and Stylish Breakfast Appliance by Mariah Ray

EDIT February 2021 return. It doesn't have a "donut" setting, and if it does, mine doesn't work. It toasts both sides of the bagel and often turns black on the outside—the side you don't want crispy on. He also lit the top of every bun I tried to toast. It shouldn't be that hard to find a toaster that works for less than $300. returned to Auster. This one works, it roasts evenly and the second (and third) batch roasts just as evenly and to the same degree of doneness as the first. Even better, it's a bit heavier than the other brands and doesn't threaten to tip over when I push the lever to start the toasting cycle, so I never have to put my hand on the burning top of this toaster to start toasting the second bagel start . I almost gave it three stars because there's just no reason in this universe, or any other, for an electrical cord to come out the front of a toaster, and anyone making design decisions like that in China should be fired. Of course we could arrange the power cord to come out the back, but those cords are necessarily short and that would only require another 10 inches of cord. This is madness and must be stopped. Toast cycle after cycle convinced me to give it 4 stars - and no more.
