Verdict
Although the Nostalgia RTOS200 Retro Series 2-Slice Bagel Toaster comes with a great many features, its performance is somehow reported to be unsatisfactory. The toaster’s plastic material tends to burn and gives an off smell. The appliance tends to burn the toast, and sometimes results in an inconsistent browning. The toast sometimes gets stuck inside and becomes difficult to remove.
It is also not very durable; therefore, it is not recommended for a regular use. However, if someone wants a toaster for a small period or just for a trip, this can work well enough. This is because for few days immediately after purchase, it can yield good brown toast for breakfast or a snack. Users rate it 2 out of 5 stars, and readers must consider other brands before purchasing this one.
