Big price diff btwn the 2-slice toaster vs 4-slice toaster... Worth it? How long does it take to make a poached egg &amp; toast so you can feed 2-4 ppl?

I only got the two slice toaster, but it works for my family. Poached egg and toast takes about three to four minutes. So it would take 6-8 to make two

No.But just as an update I will tell you I still love my toaster!It is used for toast every day and eggs & toast a few times a week. I have eliminated frivolous kitchen gadgetry and although this may be a novelty, it is very very useful.

. I have NO IDEA what you are looking at because ... the picture & my toaster &gt;&gt; http://www.amazon.com/T-fal-TT7461002A-4-Slice-Toaster-Function/dp/B000F0BYRS/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t &lt;&lt; Has 2 buttons. There is no click or anything when I press my toaster buttons but they do light up different. The BAGEL function is to toast only on the one side of the bagels I really don't ever use this cuz I don't like soft on one side / crispy on the other. and All of the settings defrost -- it is heat after all. BUT that said.. the DEFROST button DOES light or not depending on pressing or not. Remember... the "Defrost" & "Bagel" buttons do NOT make noise and you can't FEEL the click when you press either of these buttons.. I know this cuz I JUST CHECKED. I never use them... I just like the toaster shape & way the toast tilts out so I can have it in a appliance garage without taking it out all the way. .

I would definitely say reasonable quick!About the same time as regular toaster, and that's fast considering all of its cooking options. I use mine every day and LOVE it!!!

We love the toaster. We did have to return the first one. One of the riser bars in the middle was broken. Amazon's was so quick to take or it with credit and an immediate replacement. Settings on toast side are 1 1-2 Nat Bagel side was slightly warm. It didn't bother us so we checked it out just now. Really no problem unless a very young child was there.again. We love it

I live with a roommate, got this for fast-healthy breakfast-for myself-if cooking for more-would not use this method for poaching eggs, would do it the old fashioned way and then you would need a 4-slicer toaster-but just a normal toaster.

Yes, it is. I don't make a lot of toast, maybe four slices at the most when I am cooking. I like to keep my toaster in the cupboard, and I usually put it back after I'm finished cooking. It's never felt too "hot" to me.

Sorry, I no longer have the toaster. It was not a very good toaster.For the price, I expected excellent toast. After trying three different long slice toasters, I have given up.If I need to toast long bread I use the oven.The replacement toaster was a fraction of this one and toasts to near perfection.

I only toast 1 or 2 slices as well. This is definitely the right one for me. Takes almost no find to warm up. I wanted the best, I think I got it with dualit

That really depends on the type of bread you put in and how brown you want. Standard white toast bread might take two minutes or so and denser bread will take longer. Temperature of the bread before toasting will also change toasting time with just out of the fridge bread taking longer than out of the bread-box bread. Overall very quick, efficient and gives a nice soft chime when it is done. There is even a "Lift and Look" setting as well as "A Little Bit More" button. Great Toaster, looks good and we are very happy with our purchase.

I hope that I won't have the answer to that question for at least a decade. Still working great for me, but if it only lasted five years I would still buy another one because it toasts evenly and consistently. I should mention that I have the two-slice model.

I would say look for a dedicated commercial toaster. This takes roughly 2 mins per cycle. If it was used in a small mom and pops restaurant I think it wouldn't last as long you'd want with the constant use. Look for a commercial toaster with a moving grate.

yes it does take longer to toast. I dumped my Krups for a Hamilton Beach. It takes just as long. Disappointed !!!!!

It takes a normal size slice of bread. I had an "oversized" loaf of bread the other day and had to cut the slice in half to fit into the toaster. This is not a problem with us, however, because we use Sarah Lee or a similar loaf. We have done bagels without a problem. The slots are wider than our former toaster. As far as I know it only comes in red. I did have toast pop out of the toaster a few times. Update Nov. 3, 2013: This toaster worked for about six months, then died. I do not recommend buying it.

Yes it will toast four slices (it has top and bottom heating elements), but because it is a large toaster oven it takes more time to get up to heat than a dedicated toaster. The second toasting is plenty fast. Do not buy this oven primarily as a toaster. Its size makes it a nice way to save energy vs using a large oven for baking, etc... and it happens to toast as well.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I went to the Back to Basics website and they had replacement pans for around $5.00 - $6.00. I got busy and didn't order, but when I tried to find the website just about a week later, it seems to have disappeared. I'd definitely be willing to pay for a new pan since my toaster is well over a year old, but I can't find one anywhere. Did they go out of business or something? I miss my homemade egg mcmuffins!
