T-fal TT7461 Avante Deluxe 4-Slice Toaster with Bagel Function, Black

We love our 4 slice toaster which is also wide enough for bagels and other thick pastries. The settings work well, so our toast or English muffin comes out perfect. I love the way I can move it back on the counter and because it's tilted towards you, it's an easy reach to get your item out of the toaster. It also has a lever you can push to make the item move up higher for easier retrieval. Highly recommend!

The Good: This toaster works well. It defrosts well. It toasts fairly evenly. I like the feature that allows you to pop the item up further if it is too short to get out easily. I like the button for emergency pop-up. The Bad: This toaster gets really hot. If you want to put it under cupboards be prepared to pull the toaster out from under them to use it--unless you want warped undersides and have a fire extinguisher handy. Also, the slots are not wide enough for the wide types of bread. I tried cutting the edges off, but the toast curled and burned. I tried turning the bread on its side, but It didn't toast the whole piece(this is the main reason I will be returning it). The Ugly: It is really BIG, which is probably why it gets too hot for use under the cupboards. Conclusion: If you have the counter space and use "standard" size bread, I recommend this toaster. If not, don't buy it.

I would recommend this toaster to anyone. First, the ONLY drawback is it is a bit larger than most (larger "footprint). But it fits very nicely in the corner of a counter. It has easy cleanup, with nice slideout bins under both sides. Toasts nicely and quickly. Even has a defrost setting which is nice (although I rarely use this). The center levers pop the toast up out of the toaster nicely so you don't have to "dig" although the slots are so nice and wide, it's easy to get toast out. I love the bagel setting, FINALLY I don't have to SQUISH my bagels to toast them (or drag out my much larger toaster oven!). Also, I like the wide opening to insert your bread, even when you don't have it on "bagel" setting...the plates just close around the bread once you begin the toasting...very nice, especially when you have curled bread! The temperature setting knobs are great and I love the pusbutton in the middle of each to pop your toast up early if you like. The temperature settings seem to be quite consistent, which I've never found in a regular "older fashioned" 2-slice toaster. It looks very nice and modern on my counter and matches my stainless steel and black appliances beautifully. I used to "hide" my other toaster in the cupboard, but this one deserves a place on the counter. Once you see it in person, and try it, I know you'll like it. Very good quality. And the two SEPARATE operational sides were very well thought out. Sometimes you don't need FOUR slices toasted and sometimes you do! Overall, EXCELLENT, and recommended. It's worth the price, especially if you get free shipping with Amazon!

It's been a long time since the days way back in the 1940s, when,as a kid of 6, I got to stand next to a toaster waiting for my parent's old time toaster pop up, producing a real, honest to goodness well toasted piece of bread. It only made two slices; but, when it popped, you had toast to your exact specifications, from light brown to flaming black!! Somewhere along the way, the product safety, consumer advocates, or product cheapeners got into the picture; so, toasters became bigger, sexier looking, with four slices and colorful gadjets. The only problem with these new age devices was, they didn't toast the bread before popping up. Sure, if you had all morning to keep pushing the lever down, you could get decent toast on the instalment plan. That is, regular, store bought bread. I happen to be a bread maker who enjoys making hearty, healthy, hard crust loves of dense bread. Most of today's timid toasters don't even phase my bread. At the highest setting, it will take three to four trys before the home made bread gets brown. Finally, I discovered the Avante Deluxe, four slice product. I've been using it every morning for a couple years now, and, it's still making reliable, well toasted bread. Extra thick slices may require a second try, but, this is by far the best unit I've purchased in many years. It's also easy to clean.

This is a great toaster. It boasts modern design touches, the angled front really makes insertion and removal of toast easy and not subject to cabinet heights. The lift levers do a great job of helping to raise up your toast so you don't need to reach into the toaster. These lift levers have also been updated from the previous generation of Avante toasters (which we have); the previous generation you'd have to hold the lever down with one hand and grab your toast with the other. These lift levers lock down, so your toast is kept elevated so you can use both hands to remove toast. The only real drawback is that it says high speed on it, but it isn't that fast. It takes a couple of minutes to produce toast or a toasted bagel. Bear in mind though, that I bought and tested 4 other toasters before choosing this one and each of the other 4 toasters performed even more slowly.

This has been by far the best toaster we've ever had - and we've been through many, from two slicers to toaster ovens. None of the past have ever toasted right. This toaster finally fits the bill. Evenly toasts both sides of the bread. Fits bagels and toasts them on the face side. It has done a great job and we've had it for over a year now. Admittedly it has gotten fiesty on a couple rare occasions and ejected the toast right out of the toaster - much to the dogs delight - but that has only been twice, probably light bread :) I would highly recommend this toaster.

It's a good item except at times the toast pops right out and onto the floor. So far that only happened once.
