Flimsy construction, does not toast evenly
Two big complaints about this product and one about Amazon.
One, this is really a flimsy piece of "Made in China" product. I think it's probably the worst example of such I've had the misfortune to come across. If I had seen this in person I never would have purchased it.
Two, it does not work very well. I have yet to get it to toast a piece of bread evenly.
But three, what really angered me was that less then 24 hours after I purchased it, I went online and Amazon had lowered the price on the toaster substantially. Although I see today that it is back at the price I paid for it.
That really frosted the deal.
One of my most disappointing buying experiences on Amazon.

One Great Toaster
This is a beautiful toaster and it has worked really well for me. It has a lot of space, so it does bagels beautifully and it's beautiful in the kitchen. You can't ask for more than that in a toaster.

Great Replica of a Vintage Toaster
I love it. Looks good in my kitchen and reminds me of my infanthood. I like the way the wires grab hold of the bread, no matter how thick or thin it is, and center it in the slot so it's toasted evenly on both sides. Over the years, I bought several white toasters that looked really bad after a short period of use, didn't toast evenly and then dropped dead -- why? -- a toaster is supposed to last forever (well, practically). I even had one that developed scorch marks on the outside of the slots.
I only have one problem with the Sunbeam 3916 Heritage toaster -- I enjoy Sara Lee Buttermilk bread which is wider than the length of the toaster's slots. I still gave it 5 stars because I came to the conclusion that the bread we had back then wasn't extra wide. So, if I want an exact replica of the original, that's one draw-back I can live with.
