How fast does it toast?

The timer states 2'3'4' minutes based on selections. It will beep when finished.

It does seem slower then most other toasters but it also depends on how dark you want the toast. There is a timer that you can watch as it progresses to your desired level which helps you know how soon your toast will pop up. I love that feature!

I hope that I won't have the answer to that question for at least a decade. Still working great for me, but if it only lasted five years I would still buy another one because it toasts evenly and consistently. I should mention that I have the two-slice model.

I have the double toaster and I do not find it especially fast. If speed is important you might look elsewhere. It does make a difference in the time depending on the moisture level in the bread.

yes, but this toaster will take twice as long to toast, not a good toaster in my opinion.

Mostly, yes. However, it seems to fluctuate depending on the type of bread being used. On plain white bread or wheat bread I would say that it toasts evenly.

yes, using grill mode but it takes more time than toaster. Kinda like grill on an open fire...

Slot length is five and one quarter inches. The toaster will accept thick bread and bagels, will heat one side only if desired. It is not a fast toaster, but does toast evenly. Two slices at a time are OK, but if there is just one slice, the finished toast may 'shoot' out onto the table. It has a button for quickly turning off the toaster if this is desired for any reason. Normal position of the heat control is near 2 - 3 on the dial. Power cord length is about 3 feet. It does not have a lot of 'bells and whistles', but for the money it is OK. We will keep using it.

NO...and the Toaster toasts un-evenly...must pop up whatever and turn it around!!

I dont know but this toaster is junk...I got one and in 2 weeks only one side of the bread would toast...then they sent a replacement and it did the exact same thing within 1 week.....

I only toast 1 or 2 slices as well. This is definitely the right one for me. Takes almost no find to warm up. I wanted the best, I think I got it with dualit

FAST is tough to answer....Personally it's the best toaster I've ever used. The crumb tray is awesome. The adjustments on settings actually works well. It toast bread,bagels and even hamburger buns with ease.Fast enough for my home.

It's fairly fast. I mean it has different setting for bagels, defrost etc. A bagel would take longer than let's say a simple slice of bread. If you have the room it may be better to get the 4 slice model. That way two different people can use the toaster @ the same time. It has separate controls and is pretty much like putting two 2 slice units into one body. I have the 4 slice model.

Yes, I've toasted a single slice, a half bagel, etc. It's the best overall toaster I've ever owned. :)

It takes just over a minute to toast a piece of white bread... Wheat a bit longer and sourdough bread, even longer.

No, it does not make toast fast. It takes a couple of minutes to toast bread. However, it's the best toaster for overall browness that we have purchased.

It has a "ding" but it is not loud. The toaster shuts off at that point, and the toast stays warm until you lift the cage manually.

The toast time varies with the degree of darkness, but seems longer than you would expect. Seems a little under powered and the wrapping of the heat elements are irregular. Ours burned out on one side after about a month.
