Mueller UltraToast Stainless Steel Toaster 4 Slice Extra-Wide 1 6 Slots for Artisan Bread Bagels Frozen Waffles 6

BEST TOASTER I'VE EVER HAD!!! Finally I can put longer bread in the way it should be toasted, not half in and half out. Does a good job, has 6 darkness settings, looks nice as well. Toasts both sides of bread evenly. Wide enough for bagels and English muffins. Wish I had bought one 20 years ago when "regular" toasters stopped working well. Thanks for a great product! Good value for money spent! Read more

A very good quality toaster. Looks nice and functions flawlessly. Has plenty of functions to cover all of your toasting needs. Has a reheat and defrost mode as well. Slots are plenty wide and deep enough to cover most of your toasting needs. Not too big or not too heavy. Love the mueller brand. They make a nice quality product. I have been using one of their coffee makers for years now with no issues. Very pleased. Read more

Works fine. Even though it's Stainless Steel, it's quite light, which I guess most would be happy. However, the overall body of this toaster feels, well, "tinny," if you will. Stainless Steel is the description so you might expect it to have "some weight" but again, this is probably the lightest weight toaster I've EVER had lol. Now, for how it performs. I have it about five weeks I believe. I wanted to give it some time before reviewing. Like most toasters nowadays - they are all finicky in my humble opinion. I'm 66 and I'm old enough to have experienced the "old school" no nonsense, but last FOREVER toaster(s) of the past. I will sound cliche, but they honestly do NOT make them like they used to! Period. Whether very expensive, moderate, mid range or lower priced, they "basically" perform similarly. Of course the higher end toasters do perform "slightly better," but again, in my humble opinion - not much. I know Mueller is German based and "usually" most German brands, Mueller being one, are good. Now that my husband and I have figured out all the nuances about this Mueller model, I'd say it's a pretty solid 7-8 out of 10... so far. I honestly cannot speak on longevity as I don't own it long enough. As mentioned earlier, to me, toasters, like many appliances, small or large, just don't last or perform as well as their "boomer" and earlier counterparts. To be very fair and transparent, there are great appliances out there. But one must be very wise and choosy and do their homework to get the best possible choice of whatever they are seeking. Especially higher priced appliances. This is just a toaster. I use it everyday. But while I wouldn't want to replace it monthly, it wouldn't break my bank if I REALLY had to replace it after say a year or two or so. But if course I'd hope for longer use as I'm very diligent about keeping my appliances in good shape and cleaning. Would I recommend this Mueller? Yes. If you toast alot at once. This will today four slices at once. Or two very long fresh slices of bread - i.e. like a freshly baked sourdough or something similar that has a longer length, you'll get even toasting for two slices - nice. You can toast TWO individual bagels as well. In addition, if you have frozen bread or frozen bagels (and you know how hard they can be and you'd rather not defrost in the microwave), you can "defrost" your frozen bagel(s) in this toaster - give about five minutes to at least cut in half - then set the defrost function. You can then either Toast your now defrosted bagel, or eat as is, warmed. There are several settings. It does take a little getting used to. However, once you get the knack, and know your settings, it does get easier. I assure you. Another thing to remember - this is a WIDER toaster. The height is fine and fits practically under ALL standard counters. It's just a couple of inches WIDER. The depth is about the same as most standard toasters. When I'm finished toasting, I usually let it cool then partly cover with a pretty "table setting mat." Keeps things tidier. And every few days or once a week I definitely turn my toaster (unplugged) upside down and give it a few gently firm taps to dislodge crumbs. Also remove the crumb tray and wipe that off and place that back in. Keeps things clean and clear and helps prevent possible little ants from getting nosy - I live in the South so every so often they pop up. But it's not fir long and they're gone. I gave four stars because I felt the toaster could be "weightier" and I don't have it that long. But I DO recommend it! Read more

The control buttons are great and easy to press on, the durability is great and not what I was expecting for a cheap toaster, the value of money is good, the smell couod be off sometimes but that is because I use it alot, it weighs a little which is not surprising, it actually weighs really good, and finally it burns toast really good and it could never under cook it or over cook it Read more

Beautiful design and excellent quality stainless steel toaster. Does not show fingerprints, is easy to clean. It is super-easy to slide out and empty the crumb tray. Slots are wide enough for big bagels. Adjustable and consistent darkness controls, and easy to operate. I have found that Mueller is a top quality brand. I started my “Mueller Collection” with a vegetable peeler, and now own Dutch Ovens, a drip coffee maker, an immersion blender, and now a toaster. Subsequently, I have bought SIX more Mueller Dutch ovens as gifts and the recipients have been delighted with them. All are gold-standard quality in their design and operation, and priced very reasonably. I bought the toaster BECAUSE of my satisfaction with the other Mueller products I own, and it lived up to my high expectations. Extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend this toaster in particular and the Mueller brand in general. Read more

Great toaster! It heats evenly and handles everything from bagels to sourdough bread. It looks really nice and has a nice durable build quality. While it is more than I would normally pay for a toaster, I do think it is a very good value. Read more

Solid toaster for the price. Only lasted about a year and a half but it was good while it worked. Fit sourdough slices perfectly. Read more

Seems to work quite well. Bit of a learning curve initially, but I think we're getting it now. (Goodness knows, we couldn't read the directions, could we???) Appreciate the long extra-wide slots. Worked really well for reheating rolls. Toasting settings seem accurate. It is a good value for the money, considering all it can do. Since I just bought it, cannot say anything about the durability yet, but it is sturdy and I'm sure it will last quite a while. Very nice looking, too! Read more
