Read First Before Buy DeLonghi DTT312 2 Slice Adjustable Toaster
If you've done your homework with the reviews on the Amazon site, you know that you can buy a very decent toaster for under $30; so I resisted buying this one because of the price. But we've now toasted enough bagels, English muffins, and bread slices with the DeLonghi DTT312 that I'm convinced the higher price was worth it. You'll get precise control over how light or dark your bagel/muffin/slice comes out, provided that you take a few minutes and read the directions in the manual. It's a pain to give up and read the manual, but it can pay off. One example: look at the photo of the DeLonghi toaster in the Amazon listing: you'll see 4 buttons in a vertical array on the front panel of the toaster. If you want to toast a slice or two of bread, push the third button from the top. If you want to toast a sliced bagel, face the sliced surfaces to the front and push the second button from the top. DeLonghi evidently feels that only a barbarian would want both sides of a bagel to be toasted: when you push the "bagel" button, only the elements on the front side light up. Your bagel will be nicely toasted on the cut side, and untoasted on the bottom. But if you try the bagel setting on sliced bread, you'll see where some of the complaints of "uneven toasting" come from. Take a minute or two to read the instructions, pop in a couple of slices of bread or a sliced bagel, and you should be as happy as we are with this toaster.

BalasHapusI own this toaster. It has a long wide mouth that will toast any size piece of bread. You can also toast waffels. You just warm the waffel by putting it on low. Best toaster in the World.
BalasHapusWe love this toaster/sandwich maker ! It is a great asset to our functional kitchen. And it toasts anything great.
BalasHapusEvery single toaster I have seen for the last several years has very wide slots to accomodate bagels etc. The downside is they do not make crispy toast. instead, you get a nicely toasted exterior with a soft interior. Hurry for DeLonghi!!! With the adjustable slot, you can bring the heating elements closer together and the result is crispy crunchy toast. Of course, if you like a toasted exterior with a soft interior, you can do that too. It also makes great sandwiches. I am very happy with this product!
BalasHapusWow! A toaster that handles thick slices, wide slices,toasts bagels and sandwiches. Unfortunately it does not toast properly - especially breads that are not dense. The middle (horizontally) burns while top and bottom are OK. I lower setting so that middle does not burn, then top and bottom are untoasted. Problem is not as bad with dense packaged bread but toaster is simply unusable for rustic and other similar breads. I realize that no toaster will do everything - BUT IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO TOAST.

BalasHapusI am so happy with this toaster. I would recommend this to anyone. I love it. It works great and can be used to toast a sandwich or think bread.
BalasHapusThis toaster is simply amazing very easy to use and bagels turn out EXACTLY as they were ment to be..... crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've never had my toast turn out like this before. In fact I went kinda crazy and ate quite a few pieces of sourdough cause I just couldn't get enough of the crispy goodness. I also love the soft ding/ring at the end of the cycle, it was not loud or annoying just perfect. So far there is nothing negitive I can say about this toaster. I know others have said the price was a little too high but trust me it's so worth it. I can't wait to try the tray and some panini sandwitches!!
