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

I use this toaster for travel. It's light, does the job if you are like me an only eat a single piece of bread, and it is low enough wattage that I can even make toast with a portable power station. (Comes in handy during black outs. Perfect for small kitchens or dorm rooms or for traveling.

Great little item. Toasts bread well. Good value for money. Easy to use. The black device is sturdy and blends into my other appliances.

Worked out well for our trip just make sure you don’t hold it in the middle while still hot, it will melt.

This toaster broke after I used it four times. I was excited to find a single slice toaster for my office since I don't have much room and don't like using the communal toaster in the break room that has probably never been cleaned.The first issue I noticed was that the toast popped up very aggressively. That is a strange statement, I know, but it popped up so hard that it literally cleared the top of the toaster and fell in the floor. The second issue I had was that if I make two pieces of toast in a row the second would burn, presumably because the coils were already hot from making the first piece, so I would have to wait a minute or two before doing a second piece. I could live with both of these issues, but the 5th time I tried to use the toaster I ran into an issue that I couldn't overlook.When I put the slice of bread in and pushed the lever down it didn't catch at the bottom. I've had this happen before because a toaster was unplugged, so I checked that and it was plugged into a working outlet. I kept fiddling with the lever trying to get it to stay down, and then I realized that the coils were actually heating up when I had the lever down, so whatever mechanism is supposed to catch when you press it must have broken. I can still make toast, but only if I stand there and hold the lever down and let it up to check the doneness over and over.I am assuming that whatever was causing the toast to pop up so aggressively broke and now the mechanism doesn't work at all. I have sent a support request to the company and will update this review when/if they respond to my complaint. Super disappointing, and of course it happened after Amazon's return window closed.

I love this little machine. It's perfect for a single person that lives in a small maybe studio apartment small kitchen with not too much space it's perfect. I mean it's really cute and perfect there's only one thing I bought those toaster pouches to make like grilled cheese it doesn't two slices don't fit in there at the same time so those things didn't work but I'll make grilled cheese the traditional way I guess.

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 have struggled in finding a reasonably priced, good working toaster. I purchased a cheap one because it was cheap and it was a terrible toaster. I also wanted a toaster that didn't take up a lot of room on the counter and could be put away easily. My first impression of this toaster is that I finally found what I was looking for. It is a single slice toaster so it is thinner and overall smaller than any toaster I have ever owned. The heating elements appear to work evenly on both sides of the toaster which has always been a problem. Usually my bread would be toasted on one side and untoasted on the other side. I would have to flip it around and try to toast the other side and that is toasting the same piece of bread twice. I included pictures that I hope show the heating elements and the resulting piece of toast. At least for my first impression I am happy I ordered this toaster. If anything changes, I'll update my review.

So I received my one slice toaster today and love it! I haven't been able to have toast the proper way for quite some time (just did not have a toaster). I found this tiny little version and decided it would work perfect in my tiny little kitchen with absolutely NO counter space. It fits PERFECTLY! I obviously MUST have my coffee brewer on my counter and other than my Microwave on the other end, my space is practically nonexistent! Well FINALLY I now have the perfect addition to my counter! I only do one slice in the morning on a normal basis anyway so this is perfect for just me! It's nothing fancy or with extra bells and jingles but that is fine! I went to the store and bought some bread to try it out! Worked just fine! So nice to have! Love it!
