Are you getting the uneven toasting as stated by some reviewers?

The toasting is ok. The problem is no one loves their toaster! Toaster people get your act together and make the perfect toaster! It can't be that difficult.

yes, it seems one side browns and the other does not. however, I eat only gluten free and it doesn't brown like wheat breads do. I am still happy with the toaster, it's long so I can put larger pieces in it, bagels and crumpets fit nicely, and it defrost very well.

I am not quite sure how to answer you. Why? You have stated how the unit should be set up in order to toast and that somehow is not correct. My unit acts perfectly well as a toaster, convection oven, broiler and baker. I toast anything I want. I bake bread in it and use it totally in place of my regular oven (it is less expensive to run) so the elements which don't look like standard elements are not in the middle and somehow that makes no difference at all. This is the best counter top unit I have ever had and i would buy it again.

As far as uneven heat, yes, the centers where the burners are are obviously hotter than the outsides. But this is really a great feature and should be used to its advantage! When things are cooking too quickly or if one thing gets done before another, you regulate it by pushing it to the sides. This is actually extremely helpful. As far as the cupping, I haven't had this problem.

I'm still pleased with this toaster. I am appreciating the shape/rectangle with a smaller counter-top footprint than my previous 4 slice toaster which was probably 14" x 14". I thought I might miss the 4 slice feature/for 2 of us, but during the timing of cooking, the 2 slice is working fine for just 2 of us.It toasts fine - any inconsistencies are so minor they're not worth the scrutiny or specifically discounting this toaster....pick your battles (have you read toaster ratings? jeez) The toaster has an attractive look and I consider my new toaster to be an upgrade from my last one.

Mine does that, too. I just put it on a lower setting and flip the bread so it toasts more evenly. I perfected this technique with my last toaster which didn't toast one side at all. One of my goals in life is to find a toaster that toasts both sides equally. Until then, this one is fine.

Yes, it toasts evenly on both sides. It also has a bagel setting that will only use the inside heating elements.

If anyone finds a toaster that toasts only on one side, please answer this thread. I had an old Black and Decker that did so, and I can't find a replacement anywhere. THAT is what a true "bagel setting" should do....

No it does not! On the 3 setting the toast comes out fine on one side and the other side is not browned at all. Very frustrated as this is not a cheap toaster and it got really great reviews. I am sending back for a replacement. If the next one does the same thing, I will not order a third.

The unit does toast somewhat evenly on all sides, but not so well at the lower heat settings.

I did not ever have this issue. I have had this toaster for about 2 years now.

The outside of each slice toasts better than the inside. It doesn't toast evenly. As my toaster broke down afterabout 14 months of usage by only two people on a regular basis, I would not recommend this product.

Even toasting is not an issue, it toasts very evenly even in bagel mode. The issue I had was finding the temp # that gave me the "doneness" I waned which was trial and error.

I actually have been selling this product in my store and through Amazon, I have not had any problems with it. I am wondering if the toaster that you received it defective. Did it ever work in the beginning?

Yes, but the top has a very even toasted look while the bottom has toasted lines. Still a good toasting on both sides. That was the problem with our old one, we had to manually flip the bread.

I have this toaster over three years now ,using it every day. It is great. Yes it toasts evenly on both sides. The controls to make it lighter or darker works great. You may want to look at the Katom website ( that is where I bought it from). They have it for $99.00 and free shipping.

The bagel function toasts both sides, unfortunately. It's a deal breaker for us, even though this is a great looking toaster.

Hi Hemi,Yes it toast evenly on both sides perfectly. I dial it to about 2.5 and it comes out super! Highly recommend!
