My 20-year-old toaster is shot, and I'm looking to replace it. I am not sure what I want. The old one had one long, wide slot, which made it easier to toast bagels and such. I do have a toaster oven, so that's not as critical as it once was. However, I do want a toaster (in addition to the toaster oven) because my kids eat Eggo waffles like they're going out of style. 

Any recommendations? I do not want a state-of-the-art machine that will set me back $$$. Just a good, basic, reliable toaster. Thanks in advance!

I purchased an Oster at BB&B that has worked well for years. It's a 2 slice model but the slots are wide enough for a bagel or Italian bread yet it has an average footprint. I have very limited counter space so this was a concern of mine. It was very reasonsalbe in price and I had a coupon. They have a lot to choose from in the store and more on line. They always have sales and free shipping offers. I also have found some of these items at Kohl's on line. Good luck.

I have the Toast and Egg West bend Toaster.  it cooks your toast/English muffin/Bagel and will do an egg and sausage to put on it to make a sandwich like an Egg McMuffin but way cheaper.  

It is $35.50 on Amazon with prime shipping. I've had mine for 9 years or so.  I love it.!

I have a Cuisinart one.   Pretty basic toaster, but works perfectly great for making toast.    Cuisinart is one of the brands that I like, so that was probably why I purchased it in the first place.  I've had it for probably 10-15 years but I don't make toast all the time.

I'm getting rid of my toaster. My new Breville convection oven makes the most perfect toast I've ever seen.

Thanks everyone for your recommendations!

This has without a doubt been the BEST toaster I have ever had.  I LOVE it and highly recommend it.

I have an awesome four slice, wide slot Black and Decker toaster from Wal-Mart. It has a special feature if toasting bagels or something frozen. I would definitely buy this model again, and it was under $40.

Kitchenaid makes a really great two slot wide toaster . It comes in a pretty red (or black or silver.)  Metal construction, not cheap plastic. Very nice, what you'd expect from Kitchenaid.
