ECT1027B Cool Touch Toaster with 6 Temperature Settings & Extra Wide 1.25" Slots for Bagels, Waffles, Specialty Breads, Puff Pastry, Snacks, ETL Certified, 2 Slices, Black

I picked up the Elite Gourmet ECT1027B Cool Touch Toaster to replace an older unit, and overall it’s been a solid, no-nonsense kitchen helper with a few nice touches. Performance & Toast Quality: The six temperature settings give you good control over how light or dark you want your toast. Whether I’m just crisping up bread for breakfast or doing a slightly darker toast for sandwiches, it hits the setting I dial in quite reliably. The extra-wide 1.25″ slots are great — they fit thicker slices like artisan bread, bagels, and even small buns without having to force them in. It’s not a luxury toaster, but for daily use it consistently produces evenly browned slices. I haven’t noticed any hot spots where one side burns before the other. Design & Use: The cool-touch exterior is a nice safety feature, especially if you’ve ever worried about accidentally brushing a hot surface. The controls are simple and intuitive — just the toast lever and dial, with no confusing buttons. Cleanup is easy too; the removable crumb tray slides out smoothly and catches bits so they don’t burn or fall onto the counter. A couple of small downsides: It’s not the fastest toaster I’ve used — on higher browning settings it takes a little longer than premium models. But the results are steady, so it’s a trade-off I’m okay with. The pop-up action is firm but not especially springy, so you might have to double-check that your toast fully popped up before grabbing it. Overall: The Elite Gourmet ECT1027B does exactly what you want a basic toaster to do: it toasts evenly, handles wider bread well, and feels safer to use around kids or in busy kitchens thanks to the cool-touch design. If you want a straightforward, affordable toaster without extra bells and whistles, this one gets the job done reliably.

This is a nice little toaster! Works great. It's a little hard to see the dial select line but other than that I love it and it works just as needed. It also doesn't take up too much space.

Fair for a small inexpensive toaster. I bought it based on size for a particular spot. Works well.

Good, uniform toasting. Nice, functional unit. A+

It dose toast but it is very flimsy. We use it almost everyday and the popup function works about half the time. I will not buy it again. I’m looking for quality toaster and this is not it.

I love my toaster! It's a small compact size, very easy to use. Great price, and works wonderful!

Elite gourmet two slice toaster very nice color and style works great

Very basic little toaster. Does not toast evenly but we're not that fussy. We just wanted something to toast bread. We just got black to match the other appliances so color is good. Speed of toasting is normal. It looks sleek and smaller so doesn't take up a lot of space on the counter. Nice long cord. Sturdiness seems to be average. The biggest plus is its value. No fancy bells & whistles. After reading one review, I used a white paint pen and highlighted the indentation on the dial so we can see what the setting is. One other thing... regular Aunt Millie's Lite bread seems to be too tall bot once again, we're not stressing about it. If all you want is toast, this is a good choice.

No more wasting time with those 2 or 4 short slice toasters! So versatile! When you have l9ng slice , they fit. Short slices? They fit! Has a defrost and warmer . Looks great , and works great! So glad 8 chose this toaster!

Great product , best price

Very good item. Really like the design. Believe it or not the timer is handy.

Muy pequeño y práctico, cumple su función de tostar los panes, esperemos dure mucho funcionando con buen cuidado.

The driver saw that I wasn’t expecting this gift from my son and shared my happiness with me, he was even curious to know what I got, it was fun
