BLACK+DECKER (T4569B) 4-Slice Toaster Reviews

Hi, my name is Annie and I'm a toastaholic. Seriously, I have loved toast ever since I was a tiny tot. In fact, in high school a friend and I once had a toast eating contest and nobody won because we ran out of bread! On a more serious note, I did a *lot* of research before buying this toaster. In fact, I actually bought another toaster, and was so disappointed in it that I returned it, and proceeded to do even more research. Here's something interesting (at least to me) that I learned in all of that research: Many toasters now toast less on one side than the other - *by design!* It's called, in some circles, "retaurant style" toast, with one side toasted to the shade you want, the other side less done, so that you can put butter or jam on that less-done side without it...what? Making that scrapey sound as you slide the knife across it? I honestly don't know, and maybe some people prefer it that way, but when I put the bread in the toaster, I expect (and want) it to come up looking the same on both sides.
