Okay, so I’ve been using this BLACK+DECKER toaster for a hot minute now, and let me tell you—it’s a game changer. My old air fryer toast attempts were tragic. This thing? Perfectly golden every time.

The extra-wide slots are *chef’s kiss* for thick bagels and artisanal bread. No more squished slices! And the 6 shade settings? Dialed mine to 2.5 for that ideal crisp-but-not-charred vibe. Pro tip: If it’s not quite there, just hit it again for a few seconds. No burnt sacrifices to the toast gods here.

Love that it’s lightweight and doesn’t hog counter space (unlike my ex’s air fryer). The crumb tray is a sneaky hero—keeps my kitchen from smelling like a campfire aftermath. Also, major props for not being stainless steel. Who has time to polish appliances? Not me.

Only gripes? The cord’s shorter than my patience before coffee, and the bagel function is… meh. But for $26? Worth every penny. Now if only it came in deep purple and played Spotify…

Verdict: Buy it. Toast has never been this stress-free.
