Mueller UltraToast Full Stainless Steel Toaster 4 Slice, Long Extra-Wide Slots for Bagels and Waffles, 6 Browning Levels, LED Display, Cancel/Defrost/Reheat Functions & Removable Tray, Kitchen Gadgets

This toaster is beautiful. Slim, easy functions and most important to me is that it fits long, flat breads like rye and sourdough.

Easy set up, ease of use. Outstanding finish, slim footprint. Many options, such as bagels, toast, muffins and waffles. Many toasting selections

I love it! The design with extra long slots is a great idea because it gives opportunity for different lengths of bread slices on longitudinal vs transversal slices and has room for pita or tortilla to toast. It’s also elegant. It is not heating too much on the edge as I experienced with others that I had to return them.

It’s been working great and I love that I can cook four pieces at a time. The only thing I doing like is the power cord being on the same side as the button and controls; half the cord is wasted running it under the toaster to the back where the wall/outlets are. Seems to be a weird design flaw, but it works great otherwise! Toast, bagels, English Muffins all cook great!!

Pro: Very nice toaster! Feels sturdy, looks great. The form factor allows for more room to be freed up on the counter as compared to traditional toasters. The size is very nice, and easily fits two slices of toast. Easy temp control.Con (?): As expected, you must run the toaster without anything inside before first use, which burns off the protective layers on the heating elements. This is normal, but fair warning that the smell is very strong, although it quickly decimates after even just one 2 minute run. Would recommend doing this burn off procedure outdoors or under a running air vent, as the chemical smell lingers for a while if not properly ventilated.

Not going to lie it looks a little funny. It looks like a very long toaster. We started making our own sourdough's and sometimes the size of our sourdoughs are longer than normal toaster. It's a toaster at the end of day but the quality is good. The value for money is actually not bad. From the very beginning what I recommend doing for any toaster is running it for a couple cycles just to burn off anything on the coils. That way you don't get any smells or any funky taste on your toast. I've never had a problem with the lever staying down. You can toast anything from large breads to even I feel like a loaf cut in half lengthwise. At first I thought this was kind of a weird looking toaster and that is probably not going to be used as much but it's been used more often than a regular toaster.

I really wanted to love this toaster, as the aesthetics are perfect. The size is perfect for my small countertop - takes up much less space than my previous unit. The stainless look matches my large appliances well. However - it does not toast very well! It varies on how it toasts depending on the type of break you put in. A regular sandwich slice seems to do okay most of the time, but a large sourdough slice (which is why I bought this style in the first place) does not do well at all. You are given 6 ranges of "doneness" to choose from. 1 and 2 barely get the bread warm. 3 isn't much better. 6 will burn the bread. That leaves you with 4 and 5, with not much difference between them. The large slice using 4 gets the end parts of the bread somewhat toasty, but the middle is barely warm. 5 isn't much better. Even using the "a little bit more" button doesn't accomplish much. The ends just get almost to the burnt stage, but still not much color in the center. My wife doesn't like the controls at all, but they don't really bother me. The coils in the center section seem to be getting hot, but why the bread doesn't get any color is puzzling. It's a shame. The look of the unit is perfect - just what I was looking for. The performance, however, is lackluster. I have used this for some time now, hoping that with a little use, it would do a better job. There has been no change.

I wasn’t familiar with the brand but took the leap of faith and purchased the 4-slice unit vs spending over an hundred for a simple appliance. Appearance is a nice compliment to the adjacent appliances in the kitchen. Overall stainless steel finish is nice. Generally light weight means “cheap” for toasters in my opinion but this one is lighter but still solid in construction without the added weight. It can be easily stored in a drawer or cabinet without issue after use. Instructions is well documented and clear. Took some trials to getting the toast to our liking (setting 3-4) but works as expected. One of the nicest part of the toaster is that you don’t have to downsize the slice of sourdough bread. The slots are sized long and wide enough to toast the full slice of bread. Some site reviews say this unit is great in thawing like a frozen waffle and toasting it but we don’t use it for that purpose. Overall the family is happy with the toaster. Some maybe picky with the overall toasting of the bread having some darker spots than others depending on the bread and moisture but it functions as a toaster would do…..”It Toasts Your Bread!” What more can you ask for? One star deduction because small slice vs large slices need to be adjusted accordingly on the settings.
