Why did you choose this toaster?

The Proctor Silex 2 slice was reasonably priced, it toasted bagels, english muffins, and toast. This model also comes in a number of colors, the lever to push down the toast also allows you to push the toast up to allow you to grab the toast without burning your fingers. The toaster also has a pop up button to cut short the toasting time if you set it wrong.

I read all the reviews for similar toasters and chose this one over the others, based on color. However, it was hard to get English muffins out and it died after 14 months. I am happier with its replacement, a t-fal Avante with a slanted front and a separate lever to raise the toast. I got it at Walmart and it's only 2 months old, so we'll see.

I liked the style and color.. Went well with all the other reds in the kitchen. Toaster is great with a great price tag!!!

I have always like Proctor Silex products and I wanted a black bagel size toaster and this was a good price. I have been very happy with it.

I've had mine a couple years now without a problem, but I don't use it that much. Seems like a decent toaster though.

Love this toaster. Have never had a problem with English Muffins, bagels, any kind of bread, etc... I'd buy another one in a second, and/or give one as a gift.

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.

We love the toaster. We did have to return the first one. One of the riser bars in the middle was broken. Amazon's was so quick to take or it with credit and an immediate replacement. Settings on toast side are 1 1-2 NatBagel side was slightly warm. It didn't bother us so we checked it out just now. Really no problem unless a very young child was there.again. We love it

It is the closest to perfect toaster I've owned in 30 years. Always had a $20something toaster b4. Never again. If you want something that performs really well, doesn't feel like it will break in a year and looks exceptionally well on the counter, this is worth the money.

I have only had this toaster for a couple of months, and I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell, the motorized feature is very dependable. It makes no noise at all, and it's very smooth in operation--certainly no change since I bought it.

No! This is the worst toaster I ever had! I just got mine this year and sadly I constantly have to flip and turn the toast!

Megan: You should not have a high pitched noise when you plug it in. I would exchange it. I have the four slice version and like it very much. It does a better job of toasting than any toaster I have had before. I especially like the bagel setting and my husband like the reheat setting. We have not had a reason to use the defrost setting. The count down is especially helpful when making eggs to go with the toast, as everything is timed to be down perfectly.

I think so, its easy to clean comparing to other toasters. hope that will help

Yes it works great. I purchased it because of the Consumer Reports rating. It toasts great and is easy to clean. Doesn't show fingerprints. The only thing wrong with it is that the lettering wears off but by that time you will know what each button is for. I recommend this toaster.

I bought one because my old toaster would not do a good job on frozen waffles and English muffins. Now everything turns out perfect.

I assume so: anyway it is a TOP Notch toaster: I am selling my Kitchenaid Pro-Line Toaster on craigslist because i prefer this one.

Thanks for the info. It is very helpful. I think I just might purchase this toaster oven! :)

A mixture of reasons. The price was within the budget I'd set, I've had good experience with its T-Fal products, it looked like it would be attractive on the counter (the toaster and coffee pot never get out away here), and it has some features (like retoast) that I thought would be handy. Hope this helps.

I am sorry, but I cannot help with this. I bought this toaster over as a gift for someone not in my household.

Unfortunately, my toaster broke after only a few uses, so I'm sorry I can't help you on that issue. Nice looking toaster, but not much good.
