Product Review: Black & Decker Toast-It-All Plus T3550 2-Slice Toaster

"Toast your favorite foods...just the way you like them. A great mix of features like frozen, bagel and cancel buttons, plus self-adjusting wide slots make this 2-slice toaster the perfect addition to any modern kitchen." We were in need of a new toaster and this is the one I ended up buying.

Price
I bought this from Target on clearance for $8. I have found that it sells for anywhere from $20 to $35.

Cleaning
This appliance is very simple to clean. It has a crumb tray which catches all the crumbs from whatever you put in the toaster. To clean out the tray you just pull out the crumb tray and dispose of crumbs and wash the tray in warm, sudsy water. The tray is not dishwasher safe but you can remove stubborn spots with a nylon mesh pad. To clean the outside, you just wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a paper towel. Be sure not to use strong cleaners or abrasives on the exterior as you may cause scratches.

Storage
The Black & Decker Toast-It-All Plus® T3550 2-Slice Toaster has a cord wrap on the bottom of the so it minimizes clutter on you counter and makes storage much easier. I just leave the toaster out on the counter because it does not take up much space.

Overall Opinion
The main reason I purchased the Black & Decker Toast-It-All Plus® T3550 2-Slice Toaster was because it was such a good price, but I am so glad I did buy it. It is so simple to use and it is stylish enough to leave out on your counter top. It works great. It toasts your toast or bagel or whatever you put in it perfect. We use it for toast, bagels, frozen waffles, and French toast. It browns the toast evenly and the darkness control knob acts as a great feature if someone else in the house likes their toast more or less done then someone else. The wide slots are great because bagels are able to be inserted with ease and most toasters do not have the self adjusting guides. I especially like the crumb tray because it makes for easy and simple clean up. I have not found one thing that I do not like about the Black & Decker Toast-It-All Plus® T3550 2-Slice Toaster and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
