Really just a bread warmer, not a toaster
Pros:
I got it for free.
Cons:
Doesn't toast evenly.
The Bottom Line:
If you want a toaster that actually toasts your bread, get something other than a Toastmaster.

Author's Review
I got this toaster as a gift and made the mistake of throwing out my old, yet perfectly good toaster before trying this one out. The old toaster only had two slots and was a dirty beige color. I'd had it for ten years and thought it was time for a change. A friend gave me a gift book that had a number of items in it, including the Toastmaster Toaster. I was allowed to pick out one item as my gift and have it sent to me. I liked that it was a nice, clean, white toaster. My microwave oven and electric can opener are also white, so it kept the congruity of the appliances.
So far, I've only used two of the four slots and those two slots can NOT toast bread evenly. I've tried different types of bread, whole wheat and white, different brands, different sizes and nothing makes a difference. I have to turn the setting to almost completely dark just to get part of the bread toasted. It really only toasts one half of one side of the bread (in each slot). If I turn the setting as far dark as it will go, it still doesn't toast the whole slice, just burns that small part.
I thought maybe I just had a bum toaster, but after reading a couple of the other reviews, I can see it's not just me.
Although my old toaster didn't look as nice and clean, I wish I hadn't thrown it out for this. Next time I get a new toaster, which will have to be soon, I'm definitely not getting a Toastmaster brand.
