Amazon.com Product Description
Sleek, functional, and designed for a variety of foods, this versatile two-slice toaster offers three different ways for enjoying that fresh-from-the-oven taste. The unit toasts, defrosts frozen items, and easily warms up croissants, rolls, and larger pastries thanks to its bun warmer. The appliance runs on lower wattage than is typical, yet produces great results using a double grid heater. The toaster's single, wide slot can hold waffles, toaster pastries, bagels, muffins, homemade bread, and more, while it automatically positions bread in the center for even browning and comes equipped with a bread lift for easy retrieval after toasting. Seven browning settings with electronic browning control accommodate individual preferences, and reheat, defrost, and cancel buttons provide added convenience. Other useful features include automatic shut-off, a cool-touch exterior, a removable crumb tray, and cord storage to help keep countertops tidy. The toaster measures 14-1/2 by 5-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

An elegantly designed LONG & WIDE toaster
The Braun HT500 is one of the best designed toasters I have ever used. What I really like....

1. A single long & wide slot, allowing you to toast large or unusually shaped pieces of bread. I have used it to toast very thick pieces of bread, long hoagee rolls, and those huge hamberger buns that won't fit in a standard toaster slot.

2. Very clean, modern appearance. Looks great sitting on the kitchen counter, whereas many of the other toaster models today look like ugly chrome spaceships from the 1950's. Personally, I'm not into that kind of retro look.

3. An led light that is clearly visible when the toaster is "on", allowing you to quickly see the status of your toast from the other side of the room.

4. When the toast is done, it pops-up only part way. This helps keep your toast warm prior to you extracting it. You then pull the lever up a notch higher and it raises the toast up very high, making it easy to pull-out even very small pieces of bread.

5. It toasts evenly. Of course, you would expect this. But you'd be surprised how some very expensive toasters I've used in the past were often poor in this area.

Of all those items, the first one is by far the most important. Strangely however, few manufacturers today make a long & wide toaster any longer. Braun is one of the few that does. That fact combined with the great design is reason for me to give it a hearty recommendation!

Perfect and evenly toasted!
I have owned a lot of crappy toasters and actually haven't gotten another for the past 6 years. I've resorted to pan toasting in order to avoid another bad purchase. Finally got tired of so much effort for toast and broke down and got this toaster. It's so easy to use and it even defrosts frozen bread and can warm up an already toasted slice without retoasting. Worked amazingly well to heat a cold slice of pizza but I'm sure Braun is cringing if they read this! I love the little pull out tray, you don't have to pick up the whole darn thing and hold it over the sink and beat it to death! The toast comes out very even and perfectly toasted every time. Slots are wide too so a bagel is no problem. It is fast too, so you won't miss it not being a 4 slice toaster. I think you will be pleased with this great toaster, I am!

a toast to a toaster that toasts!
After several months, I can say with satisfaction that the Braun Multi-Toast is nothing short of magnificent. A toaster that really toasts - the control lets one range from crunchy to lightly done. A toaster that can elevate the toast a step higher when its done. A toaster that can easily accomodate the long slices from my artisan sourdough loaves (without leaving bread sticking out the top). A toaster that reheats toast. A toaster that defrosts frozen slices, and then toasts them. A toaster that does a respectable job toasting bagels. A toaster that is cool to the touch on the sides. And on top of that, a toaster that looks pretty fine. Ode to a toaster - Braun has intelligently designed and made a great one.
