bella 2 Slice Toaster, Extra Wide Slots, Stainless Steel

I've had no issues with this nifty little appliance. It looks nice sitting out on the counter; I have had zero issues with it in terms of ability to toast perfectly, just needed to know the right setting for each food item, ie. bread, English muffin, bagel, trial and error, easy. Everything fits perfectly in the slots. I have an extremely small kitchen but with many outlets, so it was easy to find a permanent home for it to comfortably keep it plugged in at all times, only needing a small amount of cord to reach any given outlet should I decide to rearrange. Overall, very pleased with price, ease of use and continued performance.

Don't be fooled, this little toaster can do it all. Can it toast extra long slices of bread? No. Can you shove buttered bagels in and expect it to last long? You could, but probably shouldn't, and should be ashamed, you toaster abuser. Other than that, I've only used regular sized bagel slices, Texas Toast, wheat bread and standard white bread (all unslathered, you heathens). They have all fit. I have not had any one-sided toasting issues (yes the middle coils heat up) and all the breads I've tried fit from top to bottom. I also ordered mine from the open box special and it arrived in pristine condition. I love my toast on the light/medium side a little after the 2 setting and it toasts beautifully. Soft on the inside but light gold and crispy on the outside. Apartment dweller here and if like me you are short on space, this is a tiny toaster, similar in size to the one I had to replace, the bargain priced plastic white toaster in (insert Big Box Store), so it csn fit in cramped spaces. Now some downsides. If, like me, you have to put your toaster away for to lack of space, being thin S.S, it heats up on the outside so no handling right away. I let mine cool for a minute before putting away in a cabinet. Keep that in mind if you have small kids too. And last, unlike my Cheap Plastic Workhorse that lasted 10 years, fingerprints stay printed unless wiped off ..as is common for stainless steel, so if this is something that will bother you, look for something not standard S.S designed, maybe brushed or "enamel look" metal or stick with plastic. Oh and cancel button works great and it also has an area to store the cord underneath and of course a crumb tray. Great little stainless steel toaster for the price of a plastic one!

This item looks good, Works good. Toasting Accuracy is a little lacking but reasonable. Setting of 5 makes good toast. Tiny foot print for good space saving. Can’t say about ease of cleaning but it does have a crumb tray. I will say that the toast slots should be a bit longer. They are plenty wide but they do need to be longer because some bread doesn’t fit so easily like ours. Our loaves of bread are a bit wide. An extra inch in the slot length would be great. If you use only the typical Wonder types of breads then this is fine for fit. The finish of the toaster is perfect. Brushed Stainless Steel. When you get your toaster I recommend taking it outside and plugging it in and running it a minimum of 3 time on high to burn off the coatings from being new. It really stunk up the house doing that in the house. Do not put bread in it straight from the box. It is a MUST to do at least 3 burn off runs before you use it. Preferably done outside.

First one worked but wouldnt eject toast, had to manually move lever. Replacement works perfect

1) Failed to inform of Prop 65 Warning in the item description 2) Failed to inform of Prop 65 Warning at the check-out The box had a BPA-free stamp on the front. I unboxed the product and was going to plug it into the outlet, when I managed to push the box off the counter and that's when I saw Prop 65 warning on the bottom. I am not upset with the manufacturer of this toaster - they did Prop 65 Warning (although candidly). BUT... I am VERY UPSET with Amazon.com, as they failed to disclose this fact in the two places they were supposed to! If I knew of this Prop 65 Warning before hand, it could've reduced carbon imprint of sending this product back and forth! For those who are unfamiliar: California's Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURES TO CHEMICALS that may cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The law applies to businesses with 10 or more employees that operate or sell products in California, INCLUDING ON-LINE SALES. Key aspects of Proposition 65: Purpose: To inform Californians about potential exposures to listed chemicals and ALLOW them to MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. Chemicals: The list includes over 1,000 naturally occurring and SYNTHETIC chemicals, including those found in pesticides, household products, food, drugs, and solvents. Warnings: Businesses must provide warnings BEFORE exposing individuals to listed chemicals, unless exposures are below established safe harbor levels or pose no significant risk.

Well the reviews and pictures looked good but this toaster has a few flaws, first the "wide" slot isn't correct, the internal guides are only 1" apart, the depth the toast drops is only 4" which means most breads will not toast on the top unless you flip it. Also the carriage does not lift high enough to easily remove smaller items like English muffins. The feel of the carriage operation feels "cheap" overall toasting coverage is uneven. We are keeping it, but when it dies, which it will I will be looking at another brand.

I was specifically looking for a no-frills, affordable toaster after my last “high-end” one gave out in less than six months. I didn’t want to spend a lot this time around, so when I found this Bella 2-slice toaster on Prime Day for under $15, I figured it was worth a shot. Honestly, for the price, I’m really pleased. The design is simple but nice. The stainless steel gives it a clean, modern look that doesn’t feel cheap despite the low cost. It feels sturdier than I expected, definitely a step up from the very cheapest models you’d find at Walmart or a dollar store. Performance-wise, it does exactly what it needs to do. The extra-wide slots are a nice touch—they easily fit thicker slices of bread like Texas toast and bagels without any trouble. It toasts quickly and evenly, although it does run a bit hot on the higher settings. That’s not a huge deal, though—once you get a feel for the dial and adjust to your preferred browning level, it’s easy to get consistent results. The six browning options give plenty of flexibility, and the reheat function is a bonus I didn’t think I’d use but have found handy a few times. The removable crumb tray makes cleanup easy, and the auto shut-off gives me some peace of mind when I’m multitasking in the kitchen. It’s not a luxury appliance, but it doesn’t try to be. It’s reliable, functional, and a fantastic value for the price I paid. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly toaster that performs well and doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart after a few uses, this is a great option. I’m happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants something simple and dependable.

I was looking for a stainless steel toaster to replace my old plastic one that had cracked on the side. I did not want to spend a lot of money. However, I do use my toaster just about every day so I did want something of quality. This one is perfect. I generally use it for English muffins. They fit perfectly. It took a few tries to get the perfect toast setting, but I Party there’s a birdie up there’s a party there’s a party. Do you see it? Do you see a birdie it’s there go look there’s a birdiehave it figured out. Also, when you first use it, there is a little bit of a smell, but that goes away. It also looks very stylish.

I bought this Bella 2-slice toaster mostly for its look, but the quality genuinely surprised me. It feels solid, well made, and much nicer than I expected for the price. I’ve owned 4-slice toasters and toaster ovens in the past, but this is exactly what I wanted right now — simple, compact, and efficient. It toasts evenly, works smoothly, and doesn’t feel flimsy at all. Sometimes you don’t need extra slots or a big appliance taking up counter space, and this one delivers without any fuss. What really stood out is how much it exceeded my expectations. It’s cute, yes, but it also feels reliable and high quality, which isn’t always the case with smaller kitchen appliances. If you’re looking for a straightforward 2-slice toaster that looks good and just does its job well, this is a great choice. I’m very happy with it.

Even on lowest setting toast went up in flames. Makes a strange crackling noise. Definitely not safe.

Hace buen rato tuve un tostador que me duró eternidades, se me dañó hasta que compré este y sinceramente me gustó. Gracias.

Me ha funcionado muy bien

This toaster does a decent job with breads and bagels. The toasting time is quite acceptable, and the quality across different types of slices of bread and bagels is relatively consistent. Highly recommend!
