Features
- EVENLY TOAST BOTH SIDES OF BREAD: For evenly toasted, perfectly browned bread, the Hamilton Beach toaster is the best choice. Its Sure-Toast 1 slice technology provides balanced browning and color on both sides, even when you're only toasting one slice.
- CONVENIENTLY TOAST LONGER SLICES: Tired of toaster slots that don't fit today's longer slices? The longer 6.5-inch slots of this long slot toaster solve that problem since they easily fit long slices no more cutting bread to fit or turning it over to finish toasting.
- 7 BROWNING LEVELS: The 7 shade selector dial adjusts to suit everyone's taste and makes it easy to create a crispy, delicious backdrop for a wide variety of recipes.
- TOAST THICKER BREADS: Wider than the slots on many 2 slice toasters, the perfectly proportioned extra-wide slots easily fit thicker breads such as bagels and Texas toast.
- EASILY RETRIEVE SMALLER BREADS: Toast Boost lifts smaller breads like English muffins so they're easier to retrieve after toasting.

From the multiple reviews of this toaster, it’s apparent that the darkness settings vary wildly from unit to unit. Recommendations for the proper brownness run from 2 and up. Here’s my experience with Earthgrains Healthnut bread, my favorite sandwich bread. At 3-1/2 using the single slice function, no toasting at all. Same at 4-1/2. At 5-1/2, perfection! Both sides were evenly and perfectly browned. For a Bays English muffin using the bagel function, at 3-1/2, no toasting at all. Same at 4-1/2. At 6-1/2, perfection! The cut side was evenly and perfectly browned while the bottom side was soft, warm and untoasted. I don’t have white bread to test, and you can take these settings as proper for my unit. Calibration at the factory may be an issue on this unit or on other units that have been reviewed, so take the time to experiment. As nearly everyone has observed, the toasting is slow. These settings were from a cold unit. Every toaster has a shorter toasting time for subsequent toast while the toaster is hot, so toast accordingly. Also, the generous 6” slot makes it ideal for longer loaves, like Dave’s and Brownberry. The proper dimensions are: W (at bottom) 6-5/8” H 7-1/2” L (including protrusions) 11-1/4”. It fits perfectly in my kitchen small appliance cubbyhole. My wife wanted simple controls (fewer things to break), and this delivers. Very happy with performance, price and quality. Highly recommend.

It has all the features that are important to me: *Sides of toaster do not get hot (top will as it toasts but it has not melted any of the exterior), and the hard plastic body is a nice 'flat black' color. It is no larger than a 'standard-sized' toaster and fits easily where I want it on my counter. *Toasts bread evenly. It takes 1.5 to 2 minutes to get 1 slice of bread lightly to medium toasted (level 2 or 3 on adjustable dial). *It has a "1 Slice" button that will adjust the center heating unit so that a lone slice will not burn as toasting. The "Bagel" button also allows for well toasted bagels. *It will easily hold a big bagel cut in half to toast, or wide bread- even a standard hot dog bun will lay sideways (no more standing up a bun and then turning it over and flushing twice!). *And, as an extra feature, the handle is designed to allow you to lift the bread higher out of the toaster to make it easier to retrieve a short piece (like if a piece broke off, or a half of a hot dog bun). Only thing missing is a "defrost" button, but that's OK- just turn dial to 1 higher level of browning. I would definitely recommend this Hamilton Beach Gourmet 2 Slice toaster.

After 30+ years, my beloved Sunbeam toaster is toast :( I had hoped to find a vintage version for sale somewhere, but no such luck. This is an OK toaster, and does a decent job of toasting both sides fairly evenly. However, as others have commented, it IS slow, and both slots heat up, even when selecting the "single slice" option. Sometimes, the bread doesn't stay down on the first try, but may need 1-2 additional tries before it does. The slots are wide and long - perfect for my homemade bread (a major selling point for me). It has a "tinnier" feel than my old toaster - lighter in weight and not as solid-feeling, but I do like the matte-finish sides that don't show finger marks (the ends are shiny metal, though). The cord is on the short side, as others have mentioned, but not a problem for my situation. I just hope this one lasts half as long as my older one.

This toaster does a good job of toasting bread, bagels, and English muffins evenly. I bought this one because I love Rye bread, and the brand of bread I like is extra wide so I need a bigger opening to toast it evenly. The biggest slices fit inside it and the bagel toasting is also even.

It’s a great toaster. The cancel function is a button as opposed to turning the toasting setting back to zero to cancel. Separate button makes perfect sense. The two slots are oversized long and wide to accommodate artisan style breads which tend to be longer in length. Slots are also wide to accommodate wider breads like bagels. We love this Hamilton Beach toaster.

There's a reason Hamilton Beach has been around since 1910, and that's because their products are GOOD and VALUE-PRICED. I've never had any issues with anything made by HB, and this toaster is another of their small appliances that I'm completely happy with! I have a toaster oven, but wanted a toaster because it would toast bread quicker, and I wanted just a 2-slicer, yet I needed it to be able to handle those longer (not thicker) pieces of bread. When I found this one --- and it was priced at less than $30 --- well, I quit searching and placed an order. So pleased with this product. Toasts evenly and slices of my homemade bread, which I make in large boulles, fit just fine in the slots. I also like the easy controls. Nothing difficult. Not a bunch of unnecessary options. This is also a great toaster for bagels. Don't be fooled by its light weight. My last toaster, which was a high-end brand, was heavy, not to mention expensive. This HB toaster does a better job for me!

Toasts very unevenly. Takes a lot longer than my present toaster, too. In the left slot, it toasted one side. In right slot, it toasted just the top. It's no better than the one I have. Disappointed. The slots are nice because they are wide and long. It looks nice too. But, it's more important that it toast evenly and well.

I just received this item yesterday and like its weight, color combo, and really like the place to wrap the cord underneath. I didn’t want a huge toaster and the size is perfect. My only disappointment would be that the bread slot was not quite long enough to fit my thick oval sliced sour dough bread. (It was longer than my old toaster though.) I like that it has a one slice feature, which is what I mostly use. The toast came out perfect. I did not give it 5 stars because it didn’t have a defrost feature, but I still would highly recommend this toaster.
