Nostalgia Grilled Cheese Toaster with Easy-Clean Toaster Baskets and Adjustable Toasting Dial with Wide Slots

A product with potential but a few design flaws. First, the cage is too narrow. The instructions suggest not using thick sliced bread but that’s an understatement. I bought some sliced brioche bread, just a fraction thicker than standard white bread. I put in two slices of cheese. No way. It wouldn’t even fit in the cage. So I switched to standard Tastee-style bread with the rounded top. It fit in the cage but you had to squeeze pretty hard. When it was all the way in, with half the butter scraped off, the round top part of the bread was sticking out the top of the toaster almost an inch. I ran the toaster anyway and of course the top wasn’t toasted at all and the cheese not melted. As an engineer I follow the rule to test everything before putting it into service. The basic concept here is ok but the dimensions are not. The cages need to be at least an inch taller and the sides separated by no less than a full inch. Then try it with standard store white bread and a couple of standard cheese slices. The cage should descend without scraping the sides of the slot and the top should be fully inside.

Okay, this might be the best thing I have purchased in my entire life! (I'm 74). Wasn't really sure how good it would work - but it is awesome. Comes with 2 inserts that you put your buttered bread on, put your cheese on the bread, preheat the toaster than pop the inserts with your bread in the toaster. No more digging out pans and making a mess. In less than 5 minutes you have your grilled cheese sandwich. Can't use bread that is too thick as it won't fit. I would definitely buy this again and may buy one as a wedding gift for someone.

I love this product! I got my first one as a gag gift from my mom back in middle school and let me tell you it was the best Christmas present I got that year! I ended up using it so often I broke it sadly. I used it probably every day for almost 3 years! My family also loved it very much, so when I saw it recently I just knew I had to buy myself one again. Super simple to use and it works great if you are like me and can't make a grilled cheese sandwich without burning one side.

Works as intended and looks great! I haven't tried making grilled cheese just yet so I can't comment on that. The classic retro look could have been done a little better but not bad for the money paid. Only reason I gave four out of five stars is because the item was advertised as being deliverable the next day before 10pm and it wasn't, there was a delay.

This thing acted like it was on fire on first use. Tried again and it wouldn't melt the cheese inside the sandwich. Wouldn't recommend.
