Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor-Silex 22288 Traditions 2-Slice Toaster
Customer Review: It toasts well, but looks aren't that great
Summary: 3 Stars
We received our toaster - bought it when it was on sale here at Amazon. For $9.99 the toaster does what it's advertised to do. It toasts toast and seems to do it fairly well. The openings are big enough that I think we could get thick toast or smaller bagels into it.
Our toaster came with the plastic/metal a bit miscut or not properly put together. I'm able to get most of it back on right, but the plastic/metal are not flush together.
Other than that, the power cord is on the same side as the lifter. The toaster itself doesn't come with a very long power cord and so some folks may not like the fact that the lifter has to be towards the power outlet. (or sideways) I prefer to have the lifter towards me, but that could just be me.
If you're looking for a decent and cheap toaster, take a shot at this one.
Customer Review: A reasonably good toaster for under $10
Summary: 4 Stars
This toaster also goes by the product name Hamilton Beach or Proctor-Silex. The K at the end of the model number means K Mart. It contains the Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex T39 heating elements that draw 780 watts. If you want a simple toaster that doesn't throw toast out of the top and if it breaks you trash it then this model should be considered. It has a traditional world war two look. It toasts both sides of bread equally. It is very simple to operate. The instruction says to "Unplug from outlet when not in use . . ." My dear wife does exactly that. The instruction also says to not to toast Pop Tarts in the toaster. What's with that?
Customer Review: It's not Rocket Science, it's Toast
Summary: 4 Stars
When our 20-year-old toaster recently bit the dust, I picked up this inexpensive model ($7.99 at my local grocery store) as a stopgap measure until I could purchase a "real" toaster. But this one does the job just fine. Toasts evenly on both sides, stays cool to the touch, and has wide enough slots for most uses. Really, what more do you need? It's a toaster, people. It works, it's safe, and it's amazingly cheap.
So why does it get four stars and not five? It's a little on the slow side compared to my previous toaster. So start twenty seconds earlier. You won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: Lousy cheap toaster goes back
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm returning this. The cord is 1.5 feet long.
Once you push the handle down to start it, there is
no way to get the toast to pop back up until it's
ready to. This means if it is burning or you
change your mind you have to just leave it in there
until it's good and ready to eject the toast.
It goes back.
