Hamilton Beach 22450 Cool Touch 2-Slice Toaster

Pros: easy to use cool sides inexpensive

Review: I just purchased The Hamilton Beach Two slice Toaster and after a few mornings of not getting burned when my hand touches the side of the toaster it is a success. Size and Design This toaster is White and approximately 10 inches by 9 inches. It ...

Pros: It's white (I like white appliances)! It does a great job and it's COOL!

Cons: not a one.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an inexpensive toaster that works great, look no farther, this little jewel stores well but would also look great setting out on your counter.

Review: to the touch that is. There is only one place on this toaster that you need to worry about burning you and that is the area around the slots where you put the bread in. I almost said "where you put the toast in" but we all know that toast comes out of ...

Pros: Makes great toast! Highly consistent performer. Toasting lever helps eject short pieces of toast.

Cons: S-L-O-W performer. Somewhat clunky styling. Two hands needed to extract short pieces of toast.

The Bottom Line: If low cost and consistent performance at making evenly browned toast are more important than fancy Euro styling or toasting speed, the Hamilton Beach 22450 is highly recommended.

Review: I bought a Hamilton Beach (also known as a Procter-Silex) 22450 toaster as a replacement for an old toaster. I picked this one because the November 2004 issue of Consumer Reports rated it highly as a basic toaster that outperforms some models that cost ...

Pros: Great looks, good idea all around, good price!

Cons: Right around bread slots will still be hot

The Bottom Line: I love this toaster! I would recommend it to anyone!

Review: When I moved out of my house to a college apartment, my parents bought me the cutest toaster I have ever seen. Living with six other girls, this toaster is used a lot, and it is really durable. Experience: My mom bakes bread for me and her loaves are ...

Pros: Cheap, nice looking.

Cons: Hard to use.

Review: I bought this toaster for less than ten bucks at Walmart, so I shouldn't complain...but I will. My kids eat pop-tarts alot as snacks, and they were always getting stuck in the toaster. Even bread was very hard for my kids to get out. The toaster ...

Pros: Compact size, great prize, even toasting, nice appearance.

Cons: Poor toast colour adjustment range.

Review: This model is also sold under the Proctor Silex name with the same model number and was rated by Consumer Reports as excellent and a CR best buy. My experience with this model seems to indicate that it should not have such a good rating. To be fair ...
