 Not perfect - but better than the competition Dec 23, 2008
By Debbie Lee Wesselmann
When I decided I wanted to upgrade from a two-slice toaster to one that accommodated four slices, I researched the possibilities by visiting many stores, asking friends for recommendations, and reading reviews here. I finally settled on this T-Fal Avante toaster, which comes in shiny chrome metal and black plastic, with wide but short slots for four slices of bread. Perhaps the best feature is its dual toasting system, with two slots working independently of the other two, allowing for different settings and different start times. The slots are angled forward, and have lifts to raise the toast higher out of the slots upon completion of the toasting cycle. The two special settings, bagel browning (single side toasting) and reheat, apply to only one side - two slots - of the toaster. Both sides have independent cancel buttons. The back of the machine is flat, and so can be placed flush against a backsplash. The browning is even as long as both pieces of bread are the same thickness.
The disadvantages of the T-Fal are few, but perhaps important. First, the slots are of average length, sometimes making it difficult to fit bread machine slices inside. The slide-out crumb trays are inconveniently located in the back of the machine. The look is chunky: 12 inches wide and 10 inches deep.
I wish I could say that this model is perfect; however, in twenty years I have yet to find a toaster that works as well as it should. This toaster at least seems to satisfy most conditions.

 Poorly made Feb 15, 2010
By Big Tex Bruce
We bought this toaster after diligent review of published opinions. I was apprehensive about the failure rate but the features and aesthetics influenced me to overlook the bad reviews. The toaster worked for one week - maybe 20 slices of toast. (it is just the two of us). The left-hand hi-lift handle went bad, cocked sideways and jammed.
Amazon was impressively efficient in the return process and I will continue to shop confidently at their website, I just won't buy another T-Fal appliance.

 BIG FOOT (print) Dec 31, 2008
By Barbara Greer
I've been searching for about 3 months for THE toaster. I bought this and am very happy with it. After unboxing it, I was suprised as to how big it is. I will now have to find an appropriate name for it. He's a big boy. The style is above all appealing to the eye and it does toast well. I'm very satisfied. Money well spent.

Defective! Oct 31, 2009
By Kimbely Fermo
"shopgirl62"
I loved this toaster the first time I used it. The style and functions were great, very attractive and I liked the tilted design. The 2nd time I tried to use it only one side worked, the 2nd side didn't even get warm. This was only 2 days after purchasing. Needless to say it was returned to Amazon. Their return policy is fantastic, just had to print up a UPS label and it was picked up at my house. I should have known better than to by an electronic appliance from a cookware company. Don't disregard the poor reviews of this toaster like I did...many customers state they received a defective product and this product is also sold as "refurbished"...that should have been my warning flag.
