We just bought the Clear View and we love it. It takes up so much less space on our counter than our old toaster, and it just has a great look to it, great lines. I wanted to reassure anyone who has read any past reviews that it ejects toast too strongly. It does not. We've used it a few times, and each time the toast just pops up like normal. It fits 2 slices of our bread, just like it says it will, and it's fun to see it toast. We highly recommend this toaster.

So far it's a good toaster, seems to toast to different settings as expected. The window is kind of useless for checking doneness because of the light the heating element casts on the bread. For the price it has good features, when it pops the toast it sounds tinny and cheap but it does pop the toast out. Wish it had a feature that lets you raise the toast to check doneness while it is toasting like my Breville did. I hope it is a long and satisfying relationship because it is hard to find a good toaster.

Really been enjoying this toaster during the first few weeks! Love the design of being able to fit large pieces of bread in…previously I had to flip the bread halfway through toasting to get the whole piece. I like how it uses the rods of heat above and below rather than the wires that most toasters use so that you can clearly see the bread toasting - and it still gives a very even toast!

After my 12 year old Breville finally gave up I went in search of a new toaster. I previewed several prospects and have discovered that buying a new toaster is not at all an easy task. Toasters run the gamete from cheap to super expensive and have several features such as defrost, bagel and reheat, etc. Paying more does not guarantee better performance. Seems most new toaster can not "toast" bread! They either don't toast, burn your bread, toast unevenly, and are not consistent. Ran across the Dash ClearView and found it to have the features I wanted...wide and long slots (1.5 x 10.5) defrost, bagel and reheat functions and a very cool see through window. My Mother had a glass front see through toaster back in the early 80's Don't re,ember the brand and don't see anything like it. Thought I would give the Dash a try and glad I did. My search is over! Toasts perfectly, and is consistant! Ran some tests with white, multigrain bread and English muffins and they were perfect. I like my toast on the lighter side and found the #4 to 4.5 setting to be perfect and the shade matches the illustration in the Dash user manual. DO NOT believe the negative reviews! As far as the "launching" of the toast out of the toaster, I had no such issue. And with the lever not latching and staying down it is "user error" The inner removable glass has a safety switch on the right side of the glass channel if glass is not properly reinserted and switch not engaged, circuit will not complete and toaster will not function. Dash has included an additional instruction sheet describing this. Also, this toaster uses quartz heating tubes, not nichrome ribbon wire. Quartz tubes are more even heating and are more durable than nichrome wire. The only other toaster i have ever seen with quartz tubes was a Krups, and I believe they are no longer made. Bottom line, this toaster does what a toaster should do! Buy it. You will be happy.

Wife is very happy with it
