Pretty good, but why is it so hard to find a good toaster
(3 out of 5) by J. Kimes on Mar 27, 2007 (Colorado)When I was a kid (I'm 40 now) we had a toaster that made good toast and lasted 25 years. This Oster 6335 is the 3rd new toaster we've tried. The other ones toasted one side but not the other, short circuited after about a year, or would toast fine one day and not the next. The Oster 6335 is okay, I bought it because Consumer Reports said it was the best and was a Best Buy. It's better than the other 3 but problems are:
The darkness adjustment is too sensitive, changing from 3 to 4 on the scale goes from light to burnt toast. One side is always darker than the other. Even on the same side of the toast some areas are toasted and some are not. The handle that pushes down the toast seems flimsy and I know it will break after a couple years. Like I said this is the best out of the 4 (3 plus this one). But I'm not raving about it.

Good Toaster; Manual Incorrect; Warm doesn't Work
(3 out of 5) by John Perko on Mar 22, 2007 (Lexington, MA United States)This toaster works well enough--good, uniform toast. However, some the buttons do not work as specified in the manual; for instance, the manual says push Frozen first, then toast; but the Frozen light doesn't come on until you push the Toast button--stuff like that. The Warm function keeps toasting the bread, contrary to the manual and product description.

Pretty good
(4 out of 5) by Jim K. on May 10, 2007 (St. John, In.)This was our first toaster purchase in a long time after having toaster ovens for the past several years. Overall this is a good product. Our biggest complaint is that the darkness (or lightness) of the toast is not always consistent from one toasting to the next even if the adjustment is not touched.

It's melting!
(3 out of 5) by Luna Moth Wilkins on Aug 23, 2007 (Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia)The top of the plastic shell is MELTING! The plastic is just a cool-looking shell over a real toaster...so there is a gap where the crumbs fall down between. Not sure if that will be a problem later. Bought despite the ridiculous cost because Consumer Reports rated it highly. Not worth the $ if it's going to melt! The options are nice; I have used the "warm" setting several times when I couldn;t get to the toaster right away. The alarm is TERRIBLY LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS though!!!!!!!!

Top rated.. and no disapointment
(5 out of 5) by John Stob Jr. on Mar 31, 2007 (Chicago, Illinois)Our toaster stopped working a few weeks ago. I saw this one is Consumer Reports top rated and bought it. It looks a little futuristic. People comment on it. It is well-made, can toast a variety of things and matches the other stainless steel stuff in our kitchen. It seems to do a pretty consistent job with toasting bread too. My wife is happy with the choice I made!
