Mecity 4 Slice Toaster, Long Slot Toaster With Warming Rack, Timer, Bagel, Defrost, Reheat Functions, Crumb Tray, 6 Browning Settings, Extra Wide Long Slots, Stainless Steel, 1300W, Grey

We love this toaster for our sourdough bread!! It's sleek appearance is so pretty you don't mind leaving it out on the kitchen counter. The slot size is perfect for all types of bread, we really like to use it for sourdough. The turn dial makes it easy to adjust the toast time for the perfect slice.

We've had this toaster a few weeks and like the performance and the looks. The sleek, dark gray (almost black) exterior fits right in with the granite counter and backsplash in our modern kitchen. Most alternatives have a stainless steel exterior but with our black counter, accents and appliances this was a better match. The rose gold trim picked up the color of our backsplash and with the lighted controls adds to the contemporary look. This was one of the few long slot toasters with the controls on the end, perfect for the way we wanted to place it on the counter. The long slots are great for baguettes, long bread slices or multiple smaller slices, rolls or bagels. The bagel setting does the inner sides only and I've used the 30 second reheat for some toast done early and in need of a quick warm up. Love the count down timer that starts out as the darkness setting indicator then switches to letting you know the time remaining. I've gotten my preferred medium well done toast using the 4 or 5 setting. Toasting results have been pretty even for me with the bread centered or placed at either end of the slot. I haven't had any bread or bagels taller than the toaster slots like some other reviews. A close look revels a mostly plastic exterior and I'm gentle with the lever after reading some users have had that come loose. For $45 this is a good value with a sharp look that's different from most other long slot toasters.

Garbage.. lasted a year and a half before the latch stopped staying down. Had to hold it down to toast the bread. After a few times of that it won't turn on at all. Took it apart and there's parts melted inside. Our previous toaster still works after 15 years, only stopped using it cuz I wanted a 4 slice. Going back to that one.

This is a great toaster, long enough for the sourdough bread

Thanks everyone for advice on tray. It absolutely did not open easily. 3 people tried for me. I finally had to pry it open and now it’s stuck again. Makes no sense. Also the handle on one side fell off. What garbage

This is charcoal colored stainless steel with gold color fixtures. LED lights to show setting and it counts the time down. I love that fixture. It is a long four toaster which toasts perfectly. It has a Bagel , reheat , and defrost setting. Huge value for the money. Easy to keep clean with a pull out crumb tray. When you first get it, just run empty about 3-4 times to remove new smell. It’s Perfect!! Good for long thick bread too!!! Cool to the touch

If you want to replace your toaster after 18 months, this is your brand/model. Same frustration as any toaster. Not made to last long. Looks good on the outside. Poor quality inside. Used about every three days. Heating element kept clear of crumbs. Still simply quit working.

I’m doing a review one year after I bought this toaster. In the beginning, we loved it, sleek design wide slots toasted pretty good. Overtime it wasn’t toasting dark enough and then now we’re at the point where it keeps popping up and will not stay down you have to hold the button down in order for it to toast. Sometimes it’ll pop up early, but the bottom line is, I have to order a new toaster.

Before I bought this toaster there were mixed reviews on the evenness of the toasting. I was initially hesitant but then I saw the manufacturer's instructions about how to position your bread if you are only toasting two slices - that you use both slots of the toaster but make sure to put your single slices in the center. (If you use only one side or the other your toasting quality may be affected), so i thought it was worth a try. They also stated you should make sure you run the toaster a couple of times before you use it for the first time to ensure that you've burnt off any residual chemicals. My first toasting session I set my brioche hamburger buns at a setting of two and it was too long for them and they came out a little darker than expected (picture attached). The benefit of this toaster is that you can amend your settings even between the numbers so it doesn't have to be exactly setting 1 2 3 Etc Additionally you can press cancel if you're near the toaster and you notice it getting darker than you want. For my second attempt I toasted a another set of buns on setting one and they were a little bit light so I think you may want to tweak yiur number depending on the kind of bread that you are using. The toaster slots are wide enough that I didn't need to squeeze the buns down to fit them in the toaster slot like my former toaster, win! I later toasted some English muffins and I found the perfect setting for them was number three so it really does vary. I like the narrow width of the toaster because I have a small counter and it affords me extra space, yet I can still toast up to four slices at a time. I love the addition of the toasting rack for bakery items like croissants and stroep waffles. What I really like is it's built into the machine and you don't have to attach an extra part that you then have to find a place for in your cupboard and will probably lose if you're me. It pops up and down very easily with the touch of the back lever. So far I'm very pleased with this toaster. If anything changes over the use, I will update my review.

Our 15+ years old Sunbeam toaster has given up the spirit recently as one of 'power' contacts that are required to bridge the lever when pushed down broke off.. behind repair and at this age, it had been serving us well over all those years. A few years ago we had already looked into replacing it, but couldn't find one that was safe to handle and not cost a leg. Most toasters nowadays are filled with too many features and screens like a NASA Shuttle to fly!. Previous model we had evaluated all returned to Amazon... none was safe to use as the external body walls would become so hot you could burn yourself, so speak of a kid that would touch it accidentally. This one remains cold outside (max 25-30°C) when getting over 400°C inside. Grills your bread very evenly and for the results, guess what, you have to make your own testing.. Every bread is different as are everyone's taste, but the knob to control the temp is really easy and the countdown timer is a real plus. We love our new toaster so far. Only time will tell us if it will last 15+ years like our old Sunbeam.

Stopped working after 4 months. The toast won't stay down and then it shorts out. Pretty toaster but obviously not built to last!

This toaster is amazing works with longer pieces of bread no need to cram them in.. timer works perfect for lightly toasted or crispy.. fit bagels and waffles with ease. Overall look is fantastic Matt black with the rose gold gave our counter tops the perfect amount of colour definitely would recommend

Apparently, toaster shopping is a very difficult task. We looked at multiple brands, both cheaper and more expensive. After trying another brand's toaster that was running way too hot on the outside, we took a chance on the Mecity 4 slice toaster, long slot. At first we were not convinced: we felt like the toaster was not toasting evenly, depending on where the bread slices were in the slots. But after two weeks of usage, we can say that the elements are settled and the quality is there, although not perfect. We had one issue where the "Cancel" button got stuck but once we pressed it, it reset to its original position and we have yet to run into that issue again. Pros: Reheat, defrost, and bagel functions are nice to have. The digital display with the time remaining before you get your toasts is an awesome enhancement to the toasting experience. The sides of the toaster stay cool. The slim factor is a plus. Cons: Buttons seem to be sticky, as mentioned before. Hopefully, this won't be a problem in the future. Once settled, the elements toast fairly evenly, but it could be better. All in all, we like the toaster, considering the price point, and we will keep it. We will update the review if we run into more issues with the buttons. Note: Make sure you follow the instructions and "toast" without bread slices a few times before using it, as there will be a strong chemical scent coming out. This is normal and expected with any new toasters.
