T-Fal 4-Slice Digital Toaster Long Slot

Professional testers generally prefer manual dials to digital toaster controls because they're simpler to read and use. However, owners agree that the T-Fal 4-Slice Digital Toaster Long Slot's digital controls are intuitive. Like most toasters, it offers bagel, defrost and reheat settings, and owners consistently say it performs exceptionally well with bagels. The T-Fal 4-Slice Digital Toaster Long Slot has two extra-long slots instead of the four individual slots common to most four-slice toasters. It automatically adjusts to the length of the bread and therefore tends to perform better with two slices than comparable four-slice toasters. A high-lift lever provides easy access to completed toast (no more fishing out toast with a utensil). Owners like the digital display, which counts down the remaining time in the toasting cycle. Owners also like the toaster's sleek black appearance and say its unique design means it's less bulky than most four-slice toasters. As with all toasters, there are some complaints of uneven toasting.
