 can't pop up toast before it's done Apr 25, 2008
By bubbie
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.

 THIS BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER JUST MIGHT LAST FOREVER BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S HOT Sep 18, 2006
By Heather L. Parisi

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.

Get This! Sep 17, 2007

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!

 Avoid this Cool Wall model 22605, very uneven toasting. Mar 30, 2008
By Book Nitpicker
Unlike the US-made toasters of bygone days that browned both sides equally, if this toaster is adjusted to do one side right it leaves the other side hardly toasted at all. If you set it for a longer time to get the light side done right then the other side gets burned. I don't see how it could do otherwise because if you look down into the slots at the heating elements, you can see that they are more numerous and closely spaced on the outside walls than on the inner. I don't understand how an old appliance company could do such bad engineering - I can only suppose that they don't use their own products now that they are made in China.

HEY, I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN, REALLY LIKE IT May 27, 2008
By Authentic Opinion Only, Please
Was searching for a white toaster (white is the ''theme'' of my kitchen...peaceful) and could not find one at any local retail stores. Decided to try amazon and selected this no-frills white toaster by Proctor-Silex (model 22605). It's just outstanding, esp. for the price. The size is comfortingly ergonomic and pleasant to the eye, it's easy to handle (when not in use, I keep it in a cabinet), easy to shake crumbs out of and if you are only toasting, say, 2 slices of bread (and yes, it will accommodate bagels), it doesn't get too hot on the outside. But I am not addressing the main point of a toaster: to toast. Yes, it even manages to do that function very well. The dial is not numbered but has oval impressions you can select. Usually, I use the 3rd position impression. Very pleased because the bread comes out ''just right'' equally on each side, to me it is toasted not only in taste but also in appearance. A great value. Used to buy all the ''bells and whistles'' but as time goes on, I go for the best quality for the main function. Surprised at how often that method leads to great results. Well, in my opinion, you can't go wrong with this selection. I guess the only drawback would be if you did not want for whatever reason the color white.
