Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I needed to buy a new toaster. After reading a kizillion reviews I decided that buying a new toaster was like a box of chocolates---you never know what you are going to get. Then I read one review that said something like, this is not a major purchase. It's not like buying a new car. Don't overthink it and don't waste a lot of time trying to decide. So I opted for the Black & Decker TR1400SB 4 slice stainless steel toaster because I have a Black & Decker coffee pot that has served me very well for the past three years. Ding-dong, toaster has arrived. I unpacked it and put it on my kitchen counter and I must say that it fit right in with the kitchen decor and it didn't take up a lot of space. I read the directions before using ( I strongly suggest that reading the directions first is worth the time spent) and then surprise surprise. The first time I used it my toast came out perfect, just the way I like it on setting 4 (use setting 7 or 8 for darker toast).I have no comments about burnt toast because I hate burnt toast and never gave that setting a shot. Then I got adventurous and tried a bagel. Shazam!!! Perfect again. Finally I went for the gold ring and tried a frozen waffle. Bingo, bango, bongo. Perfect again. I have been using the toaster for about six weeks and all I can say is that it works extremely well for me. Who cares if the toaster doesn't have a timer? I am pleasantly surprised because some of the reviews for this appliance were not very flattering. Like a box of chocolates---you never know what you are going to get. Toasty happy in Pittsburgh
