Elite Gourmet ECT118B Cool Touch Single Slice Toaster, 6 Toasting Levels & Wide Slot for Bagels, Waffles, Specialty Breads, Pastry, Snacks, Black

Big applause for Elite Gourmet for finally crafting a sleek, space-saving, single-slice toaster—perfect for those of us with kitchens the size of a postage stamp! Until now, making toast meant improvising with a broiler, a frying pan, or…questionable coat-hanger hacks. But this little gem lets me enjoy hot, crispy toast at the push of a button.Its compact footprint fits easily into even the smallest nook, and the modern design—with a recessed slider—is refreshingly streamlined. While it's not the most heavy-duty appliance out there (the crumb tray is thin and the body is super lightweight), it still delivers great results. The slot accommodates bagels and thicker slices nicely, though jumbo-wide pan bread might need trimming.All in all, it's a handy little toaster that’s easy to use and a total game changer for toast lovers with limited space. Now if you'll excuse me, I’ve got some artisan bread to slice.

Nice quality. Works great. Very good product. Like the smaller size of a one slot toaster.

It worked well (or so I thought!). I've only had this toaster for less than a month, and today I noticed that there are circular, melted plastic sections on each side of the toaster's exterior. And from the bottom of the product, you can see where the plastic has bulged due to the mishapened melted section. Fortunately, I'm still within the return window, so it goes back! This toaster is a great space-saving idea, but it's poorly manufactured and may pose a fire risk. This, along with others' reviews (like mine), suggests that the product should be removed from Amazon's shelves. Readers -- please take a pass on this one - something I too initially considered - but here we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'll look for something better.

Very easy to use and clean. 80-90 seconds per toasting. I wish the slot was longer. Sure it can toast thick stuff, but the bread can't exceed garbage bread (Wonder), width.

LOVE this toaster. If you live in a tiny space, this is the toaster for you! Doesn't take up much space on the counter or in a cupboard.

With limited food-preparation counter space, I wanted a simple, minimalist toaster now that my new microwave also bakes, and air fries replacing the countertop toaster-oven. A slice of wide-loaf,thick-sliced (just under 3/4"), commercial,multi-grain breadis not compatible with this toaster. I turned the slice on-end and toasted 75% of the slice. The slice would not eject up upon toasting. Probably not accomodate a 1/2 sliced bagel. Suitable for square-shaped, thinner sandwich slices only.

I've always want a single slice toaster to inconvenient my guest during breakfast. Nothing more inconvenient then having to waite in line for a single piece of toast. With that being said this toaster is nice , compact and gets the job done. I don't eat 2 slices so this was perfect for me. My guest are irrelevant. Also heads up after the first toast is complete the toaster is really warm and will toast a lot faster so beware you may get a burnt toast if you are not careful.

Used this twice and started smoke. Poor quality.
