Elite Gourmet 2-Slice Cool Touch Toaster – 6 Browning Levels, Extra Wide 1.25” Slots for Bagels & Thick Bread, Cancel Function, Compact, ETL Certified, Black

I picked up the Elite Gourmet ECT1027B Cool Touch Toaster to replace an older unit, and overall it’s been a solid, no-nonsense kitchen helper with a few nice touches. Performance & Toast Quality: The six temperature settings give you good control over how light or dark you want your toast. Whether I’m just crisping up bread for breakfast or doing a slightly darker toast for sandwiches, it hits the setting I dial in quite reliably. The extra-wide 1.25″ slots are great — they fit thicker slices like artisan bread, bagels, and even small buns without having to force them in. It’s not a luxury toaster, but for daily use it consistently produces evenly browned slices. I haven’t noticed any hot spots where one side burns before the other. Design & Use: The cool-touch exterior is a nice safety feature, especially if you’ve ever worried about accidentally brushing a hot surface. The controls are simple and intuitive — just the toast lever and dial, with no confusing buttons. Cleanup is easy too; the removable crumb tray slides out smoothly and catches bits so they don’t burn or fall onto the counter. A couple of small downsides: It’s not the fastest toaster I’ve used — on higher browning settings it takes a little longer than premium models. But the results are steady, so it’s a trade-off I’m okay with. The pop-up action is firm but not especially springy, so you might have to double-check that your toast fully popped up before grabbing it. Overall: The Elite Gourmet ECT1027B does exactly what you want a basic toaster to do: it toasts evenly, handles wider bread well, and feels safer to use around kids or in busy kitchens thanks to the cool-touch design. If you want a straightforward, affordable toaster without extra bells and whistles, this one gets the job done reliably.

The Elite Gourmet 2-Slice Cool Touch Toaster**is a pretty average toaster, but it gets the basic job done. It has 6 browning levels, which is nice if you like to control how light or dark your toast gets. In everyday use, it works reliably and toasts bread the way you’d expect without anything complicated. One feature I really like is the cancel button, which lets you stop the toasting early if the bread is getting done faster than expected. It’s simple, but it’s convenient and something I end up using often. The crumb tray is another good feature. It slides out easily, so cleaning the toaster is quick and simple. The only downside is that it fills up fairly fast, so you’ll need to empty it regularly if you use the toaster often. The 1.25-inch wide slots are helpful for thicker breads or bagels. They aren’t extremely wide, but honestly they feel about right—I can’t imagine them being much narrower without causing problems. Looks clean. I have the black one which goes well with black appliances. Overall, it’s nothing fancy, but it’s easy to use, easy to clean, and does the basic job of toasting bread well. If you’re looking for a straightforward toaster without a lot of extra features, this one works just fine.

The best thing about this toaster is the price. It does an acceptable job of toasting. If you are looking for something that will toast bread, this will do the job. Unfortunately the slots aren't quite wide enough for bagels. It toasts them finee, but jams when popping them up. I have to use a fork to pull them up. Since my toasting needs are basic, and it won't be a high use item, it's good enough.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Toaster – Stylish and Works Perfectly! I am extremely happy with my Elite Gourmet Cool-Touch Toaster. It has a sleek, modern design that looks beautiful in my kitchen, and the black finish gives it a very elegant touch. It toasts bread evenly and quickly, and I love that the outside stays cool while it’s in use — that makes it much safer, especially around kids. The browning control works perfectly, so I can choose exactly how light or crispy I want my toast. It’s also very easy to use and clean. For the price, the quality is amazing. I highly recommend this toaster to anyone looking for something affordable, stylish, and reliable. Definitely a great

I like this toaster. It costs around $10 and works just as well as a more expensive one. It has a knob where you can control how well you want your bread cooked, and I like the appearance of it as it looks good on my counter.

It worked well. Reasonably priced. Perfect for my kitchen. Bagels toasted well also.

My first reaction out of the box was that it felt cheap. It felt light, weak, And small. While it technically does the job, I'm mad that I just didn't go to a store and spend the same amount on something slightly better. I usually toast a Thomas's bagel in the morning and it barely fit. It toasted it, so I can't complain, but I don't feel confident in the durability. This would probably never work for a family, but I live alone and should work for me. Wouldn't purchase again

Everything "was" good came on time, didn't take up a lot of space. good price BUT when I "tried" to toast the standard size bread the bread WON'T FIT! :( :( it seems like the ONLY THING you CAN TOAST IS BAGELS, ENGLISH MUFFINS ETC. (HUH) it's wide enough for those types of items to fit all but bread it's NOT LONG ENOUGH! ALL IN ALL it browns good, works good, control buttons are easy to use & understand. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS I CAN'T TOAST BREAD!!! I have to use my toaster oven for that which IS why I got a toaster in the first place (huh)

Bon

Very good item. Really like the design. Believe it or not the timer is handy.

Muy pequeño y práctico, cumple su función de tostar los panes, esperemos dure mucho funcionando con buen cuidado.

My current toaster was all metal, heavy and bulky. I wanted something smaller. This toaster is great. It is plastic, very light, about half the width and toasts perfectly. The crumb tray slides out easily. I can store it in a cupboard with no problem. I am very happy with my purchase.

Funciona bien para lo que está hecho, nada espectacular, una compra buena hasta ahora
