Hamilton Beach 22600 2-Slice Toaster

Pros: Great toaster with great features, attractive and easy to use.

Cons: Gets hot... but come on, it's metal!

The Bottom Line: This is a great toaster with many useful features but still keeping a simple classic look.

Review: I bout this toaster to finally replace the one that my husband had continually keep fixing (he is persistent). I am really happy with this toaster. It has an attractive chrome outside which will get hot as it is metal and the booklet even will ...

Pros: Cool features, never overheats, accurate toasting

Cons: Stainless steel is not that easy to get clean - look streaky.

The Bottom Line: Great, cheap, useful toaster that totally gets the job done. Some things do not need to be complicated to work well, this is one of those things.

Review: I bought this toaster about 1 year ago at a discount big box store here in Pittsburgh, Big Lots (not sure if they area national chain). I was moving into a new place and just needed to stock up on cheap basics. Typically, I am a big proponent of the ...

Pros: Perfectly toasted, evenly done, both sides, every time.

Cons: Thin pop-tarts might slip a little past the bottom supports.

Review: About $28 at Wal-Mart. My wife was reaching for the $7. cheapo Toastmaster because it was so small and space-saving, and what difference does a toaster make, right? Well, it makes a lot of difference. This HB Classic toaster makes evenly toasted bread on ...

Pros: Retro chrome, extra wide slots, auto shutoff, "smart" functions

Cons: You must be careful not to burn yourself on the chrome.

The Bottom Line: Good looks, great features, and perfect toast, bagels and pastry make me one very happy lady. I highly recommend this toaster.

Review: Over the years I've been rather embarrassed about the turnover of my small appliances. I'd love to blame the manufacturers, but I have to assume some responsibility also. I should have replaced my last toaster long ago, but I am stubborn so stuck with ...

Pros: Safety features are great and it looks stylin.

Cons: Crumb tray works like all the others.

The Bottom Line: This is a great model and you will enjoy the conveniences it possesses.

Review: While I don’t advocate choosing a toaster based on appearance, that is exactly what we did when we purchased the Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome 22559 Toaster a few months ago. Classic, in this instance, refers to the fact that the outside resembles toaster ...

Pros: even toasting, big slots, bagel function, looks nice, sounds nice

Cons: unnecessary features, eject by button rather than lever

The Bottom Line: This is an attractive, functional toaster at a fair price. Like a lot of new toasters it has some pointless gimmicks.

Review: This toaster works well, but clearly it was designed for people who are easily impressed. You know, the people who think a $7 faux antique picture frame looks nice. The people who pay a premium in boutique stores for imitation shabby chic when they could ...

Pros: Styling, function

Cons: Chrome requires polishing to keep the finger prints off

Review: I received this toaster as a wedding gift and we have had no problems with it. It's a nice looking toaster for the price and it does it's job. The bagel feature is great - it always toasts them to perfection. I would recommend this ...

Pros: Defrost option, multi setting from light to dark, cancel button, wide slots for bagels

Cons: Bagels are too short to get out of the slots.

Review: This toaster is pretty standard. It has a crumb tray, offers a slot for bagel, you can defrost, or toast. However, when toasting a bagel, the life doesn't bring the bagel high enough up, causing you to either have to wait until the toaster has cooled ...

Pros: Nice styling, useful features.

Cons: Doesn't work very well.

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't buy one.

Review: I bought this toaster a little over a year ago. I don't toast things very often, perhaps twice a week, but already the inner elements are dimming, and things now get toasted unevenly. I must admit I bought this thing based on looks and price. It has a ...

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: Darkness/lightness does not work Lever does not work

The Bottom Line: Stay away! Go find a better toaster.

Review: This letter I wrote to HB tells all about this toaster.. I recently remodeled my kitchen. The toaster we owned was very old, so time for a nice new toaster to go with the new kitchen. I purchased a HB toaster 22559, with super bagel toasting ...
