Product Description

Over 2,000 years ago, soldiers scorched bread by placing it on rocks in bright sun. The aim was to preserve bread over several days for consumption during days of battle. Alot has changed over the years but people still enjoy toasted bread. It practically makes a simple sandwich a culinary delight. What would you rather have - "eggs and bread" or "eggs and toast". According to anecdotal statistics, toast wins by significant margins. It has become a basic staple in our diets. The Proctor Silex 22605 Basic Toaster is a perfect match. This basic toaster accepts up to 2 slices of bread but the slots are wide enough to accommodate sliced bagels and rolls. It's white classic finish matches virtually every kitchen.
The Proctor Silex 22605 is the first appliance for a new home or for a young family laying down the foundations toward expansion of love and life. Simply toast slices of bread or bagels and spread your favorite condiment on them. Or go dry. Burnt toast, it's generally believed, may actually help relieve an upset stomach because the carbonized surface helps reduce gas and acid. The basics of life, the basic toaster. Yet with some great features to help make your life easier, simpler, and tastier. Shade selector

THIS BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER JUST MIGHT LAST FOREVER BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S HOT
IN A NUTSHELL: WE HAVE USED THE MODEL #22205 DAILY SINCE 1997

The model 22205 is almost an exact twin of the model offered here, except it was offered for sale to us in 1997. We have 5 children and this brave little toaster has seen alot of service since 1997 without a single problem.

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT: 900 WATTS - WHITE ENAMEL FINISH - CRUMB TRAY

We have used and overused this little appliance and while 5 coffee makers and 3 'Foreman Grills' have worn out this toaster keeps toasting just like it always has.

CAUTION: HOT TO THE TOUCH

Like toasters of old, this one is hot to the touch with only thin metal and white baked enamel between your fingers and the red hot nichrome filaments that are powered by 900 watts of electricity. Actually, it was the 900 watts versus 7-800 watts of other toasters that got me to buy this in the first place. It even has a crumb bin! Well, 9.5 years and counting, but soon we may want to replace it for a 'cool-touch', though I think we will always keep this brave little toaster around for sentimental reasons.

can't pop up toast before it's done
Beware! Once you've selected the "shade" of how you want the toast, and depress the lever, the only way you can get it to stop earlier is to unplug it!! I hate that aspect. I keep my bread in the freezer, so it takes longer to toast. The first time I used it, I set it for too dark. The toast started burning. I tried pushing up on the lever like you would to most toasters, but nada! I had to unplug it to make it stop. Very poor design. Other than that, I like it. It's not only wide enough for bagels, but long enough for Branola or Orowheat bread, which not all
toasters are. I plug this into a surge surpressor now, so if it needs to come out early, I trip the surpressor, and the toast pops up.

Get This!
If you're looking for a good toaster then look no further. It's incredible how hard it is to find a good toaster. Anyone reading the user reviews on Amazon can vouch for that! I read many reader reviews and in terms of reader saticfaction and price [anything over $30 for a 2 slice toaster is pushing it in my opinion] I decided to purchase this toaster and I'm glad that I did! It's small, streamlined and fits with my decor. The bread toasts like it's supposed to, period!
