I find your lack of toast disturbing
This is disappointingly lame. My boys got it as a gift and the family was excited to try it out. First off, obviously for a licensed novelty gadget I suppose, the thing feels dirt cheap. It's a dollar store quality toaster in a (cool looking) thin plastic shell. The down lever feels like it will break at any minute. Second, the toast slots are miniscule. As in, they are too small for things like slices of bread. Let me restate that in case it was missed the first time. The slots on top. Are too small. For slices. Of bread. I'm not sure I can overstate that. If you can find those teeny tiny narrow loaves from the 1950s that all the plastic cheese squares are designed to fill, they will fit just fine. But if you buy ANY typical loaf of quality bread these days, you will have to trim, cram or wedge them into the slot. Third, the image just isn't that great, however, again, we've only tried it on our homemade waffles (any variance in the plane being toasted renders the logo invisible, so this would apply to Eggo waffles too I suppose) and Dave's Killer. The logo was legible on the bread, but barely, and mostly just because we knew what it was supposed to be. If you turn it on end it might look just as much like the Virgin Mary. Fourth, though I'm not sure how to really address this, the controls, such that they are, are clearly on the back of the device. Right? You want to see Darth. Thing is, I don't know anyone who has their toaster on a Lazy Susan, or carousel or something. You know? So that means, the controls on your toaster, FACE THE WALL. Unless of course you swap it around, and then you have an oddly shaped black plastic toaster that might look sort of like, I don't know, a Nespresso knock off. So, what you've got is a crappy appliance designed to heat baked goods but that is too small to toast things like sliced bread. It's designed to burn the planet's most recognized IP's logo into your food, but it is only partially legible, and only because you will it to be. It's a product licensed to take advantage of a world famous character, the operation of which requires you to face it towards the wall. Sorry folks, this thing sucks. :-/
