Dash Clear View Toaster - Features Large Window & Extra-Wide Slots - Auto-Shut Off Feature - Bagel Functions, & Seven-Browning Levels - 1-Touch Defrost - White

You may not be interested in researching toasters. Growing up we had great toasters. They did a reasonable job of toasting bread, and lasted for decades. When I started out on my own, I had the perfect toaster. Made by a German company, it used quartz infrared lamps instead of Nichrome wire coils. It may have lasted for decades, but my children accidentally damaged it beyond repair (doing something incorrectly, they did not understand). I tried to buy one like it, but it was no longer available. I bought a mid-priced toaster at a department store, and was disappointed. Not great, and did not last. Then I bought a $12 toaster on Amazon, that was better than the mid-priced toaster. I still use it at a remote cabin, but it is too small for artisan bread. I did my research. There were under $100 toasters that despite looking different, were in reality, similar Asian imports. There were a few premium toasters, well over $100, that got mixed reviews. A few models of toasters being sold, caught on fire. Some commercial models seemed better, but tended to be too large. I used a toaster oven for a while, which worked well if you gave it your undivided attention. I almost bought a commercial conveyor type toaster. I don't remember how I found this Dash toaster, but when I found out it used quartz infrared lamps (like my old favorite) I was interested. I researched Dash, and found out the company was started by ambitious Americans. I decided to buy it. I have been happy enough with it, to buy another one for our second house. Works on homemade artisan bread, and it works on commercial soft bread. Bagel mode is perfect. It just takes a little experience to learn where to set the dial for different products. The outside glass is removable for cleaning. The inside glass and metal reflectors cannot be cleaned (as near as I can tell). That has not been a problem for us, but if you put chocolate chip cookies, slices of pizza, or similar messy foods in it, you will have a problem before too long. Setting a reasonable budget for my everyday use toaster, this is the best I have found, and I looked for a long time. Single long slot, with a nice viewing window. Accommodates oversize single slices, or two standard loaf slices. The case has not been hot enough to burn me. The metal on top, surrounding the bread slot, gets hot enough to burn your fingers. Usual crumb tray on the bottom, is removable to empty. It does not look bad, but it won't pass for an ostentatious prestige appliance, if that is important to you.

Ohh, I absolutely love this retro looking toaster. We had a four slice toaster, but it had it's last day and so we were on the search for something more modern, which sounds weird because its retro- but anyways- this is an awesome toaster. You can watch your toast/bagel or what not toast through the clear view window. My daughters love this as well too. Very easy to use- and the bread or bagel comes out perfect. I love being able to see my bread toast in clear view. It is not overly large, what a typical large two toaster would be. The color options were also impressive. However, the best part of this toaster is that it works perfectly and my bread/toast turns out every single time. I'd definitely recommend this brand and will look to them for other products based on my positive experience with this toaster. 5/5

Good toaster! We’ve had this for a couple months now. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the glass comes loose everyday without moving the toaster and then the toaster does not operate. However, the manual is very clear that this can happen and to just push the glass back up. I purchased this toaster because we wanted a toaster with a long slot size for artisan bread. Hasn’t burned toast, accurate toasting, quiet. Once in a while it’s a little overzealous when it pops up. Very nice looking as well. We purchased the DASH clear toaster because we had to replace one we purchased from PlumChef, which only lasted 4-5 weeks… it was horrible.

I have never had a toaster that toasted the same on both sides of a slice of bread. All were poor at that. I ordered this Dash toaster because reviews said that it did do both sides the same and fairly evenly too. I can report that this is true. I like the window view so you can watch your toast browning. The bagel button is a nice feature, letting you toast only the cut side of a bagel. That makes a great bagel. Also like the retro look.

My parents bought one of these and on my annual visit with them, I noticed they had this toaster. I absolutely fell in love with it. Not only is it cool to be able to see the level of toasting happening in real time, it’s very functional as well. I sometimes have large pieces of bread that wouldn’t fit in a typical toaster but this one can hold a large slice for when i make sandwiches. It has a very sleek look to it rather than the typical square looking toaster. The browning is perfect and consistent. I’m almost tempted to buy a backup one in case they ever stopped selling these. I’m in my mid 50s and I’ve had a lot of toasters of my time but this one is truly the best.

Magnífico! Para todas las medidas: waffles, pan de todos tamaños y bagels! Ves el episodio de tostado y lo puedes detener a tu gusto!

I incorrectly assumed that being sold on amazon.co.uk, this would work okay here in Blighty, but no; 120v only. I don't fancy using a bulky step down transformer in the kitchen and I don't want to use it on a building site. Why list this in the UK and have it returned at your cost?

Using the toaster for around six months. It looks great on kitchen platform and does the job nicely. There is not much technology involved in toaster and hence not much to differentiate. Highly recommend.

Looks unique and elegant and performs very well with all the required features. I am satisfied with this purchase.

First time I’ve loved a toaster. Looks cool. wide yet pretty flat and compact against the wall. The window is genuinely useful. Toasts FAST and well. Awesome product.
