Hamilton Beach Toaster - 24502 4 Slice Digital Toaster

This model of Hamilton Beach toaster in particular seems to suffer from the gap between expectation and the ability of Hamilton Beach to meet the expectations that consumers have, whether those expectations are legitimate or not. The price of the Hamilton Beach Digital 4 Slice Toaster is pretty good considering that you get a four slice toaster with cancel function, digital readout, bagel setting, defrost setting and removable crumb tray.

Many users online report that the toaster overtoasts and is extremely difficult to control temperature wise, which is a bit of a worry when it comes to a toaster. But how did this model fare when it came to our experts.

Expert Findings on the Hamilton Beach Toaster

Our experts tested 3 models of the Hamilton Beach 24502 4 Slice Digital toaster. We can report that none of the units that we tested had any issues with performance, however we did agree with some users that the cord length of this model was a bit on the short side, but so long as you are aware of this and have plenty of power points in your kitchen then this is not as issue. Our toast was evenly browned and cooked to perfection, the bagel setting was adequate and we are not quite sure why some people cannot seem to grasp the fact that a bagel setting specifically means that the toaster will only toast on one side. Many people still record that as a fault with the toaster! The remopvable crumb tray was easy to clean, and a toasting cycle was about average in terms of length of time. Aestheticaly our experts weren't that taken by this toaster, but with the low price that can easily be overcome in terms of making a decision about whether or not to buy this toaster. So, if you are looking for a cheap toaster, then Hamilton Beach 4 Slice Toasters could be something for you to consider.
