Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 22605 2-Slice Toaster
Customer Review: Richard
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this toaster to replace old toaster that needed a new cord, it too was a Proctor Silex product. The old toaster was 1000 watts, this one is 900 watts and takes twice the time to toast. If you are keeping an eye on you energy cost this is not the toaster for you, being it takes twice as long to toast. It is difficult to end toasting manually. After comparing the new toaster with the old I found that there were less heating elements in the new toaster, "explains longer toasting time". The price was a fair price but after using it for a time I went to the hardware store and got a new cord and put our old toaster back in service. What did we do with the new toaster? It's in the recycle been.Customer Review: Avoid this Cool Wall model 22605, very uneven toasting.
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Not a bad little toaster
Summary: 4 Stars
I really wanted to give it three stars but I couldn't fix that once I entered 4. I purchased this toaster because I wanted a bargain. So far, I'm satisfied. No malfunctions. It doesn't quite toast evenly all the time but it makes a decent piece of toast. There are no bells and whistles like different settings for bagels or anything. It's just a plain old toaster like we used when we were kids. You can select the darkness of your toast and pop it up. That's about it. Perfect for college or first toasters when you want to get something but not break your bank.Customer Review: Works as advertised, and cheap.
Summary: 4 Stars
PROS: Very simple controls and very inexpensive, yet toasts really evenly and thoroughly.
CONS: Could use maybe another control, but it is so low-priced who could complain.
FINAL VERDICT: Definitely worth it.
SUMMARY: Have been using it for about 3-4 months now, and it makes a great replacement for my old Oster toaster. I went on Consumer Reports and tried to find really good model, but couldn't find any of them on Amazon. But I ran into this one which I guess is the little brother version, and I am totally satisfied. Recommended.
Customer Review: A Good Basic Toaster

Proctor Silex 22605 2-Slice Toaster For $19, toaster does what toasters should without being fancy. Toasting is fine, wide enough for sliced bagels, has vertical grids that come in from each side (when you press handle down) to hold bread in center of slot. Metal body results in TOP surface of toaster being very warm after toasting but not the sides. Only negative is that you can't easily flick the handle upwards to interrupt the toasting early.
