What it does
A budget 4 slice stainless steel toaster with extra wide slots and separate controls for each pair of slots.
- Two independent halves, so two people can pick different shades
- Bagel setting toasts the cut side, frozen setting handles frozen waffles and bread
- Cancel button stops a cycle at any time
- Extended lift levers for raising small items
- Two pull-out crumb trays
- Brushed stainless steel finish
A good low cost pick for families who toast bagels, thick bread and frozen waffles, since each half runs on its own dial with bagel and frozen settings. The trade-offs are that the left and right halves may not brown identically at the same setting, and the light body can slide when you press the levers.

Questions
Can each side of the TR4900SSD be set separately?
Yes. Each half has its own shade dial and its own bagel and frozen settings.
Does it fit bagels?
Yes. The slots are extra wide with self-centering guides, and bagel mode toasts the cut side.
How many watts is the BLACK+DECKER TR4900SSD?
Target lists it at 1500 watts.
Why does one side toast darker?
A hands-on review found the two halves can differ by about half a shade at the same setting. Setting the lighter side one click darker evens it out.
