Brentwood TS-280S 2-Slice Extra-Wide Slot Cool-Touch Toaster - Black & Stainless Steel
Brentwood TS-280S 2-Slice Extra-Wide Slot Cool-Touch Toaster in Black and Stainless Steel
Brentwood made the slots wide, and if you have ever jammed a bagel into a standard toaster you know why that is the headline. The TS-280S takes bagels, thick-cut artisan bread and frozen waffles without a fight, runs a six-setting browning dial from barely-warm to genuinely dark, and keeps the housing cool to the touch. Auto-centering guides hold thin bread straight so one side does not come out pale.
Key Features
- Extra-Wide Slots: Bagels, thick artisan slices, Texas toast and waffles all fit - the single most common reason people replace a toaster.
- Six Browning Settings: A real dial from light to dark, so you can actually find your setting instead of choosing between two.
- Auto-Centering Guides: Hold thin bread centered between the elements, so both sides brown evenly.
- Cool-Touch Housing: The exterior stays safe to touch - it matters on a crowded counter and in a house with kids.
- Stop / Cancel Button: Eject early without unplugging it. Every toaster should have this; not all of them do.
- Removable Crumb Tray: Slide it out, tip it into the bin, slide it back. Crumb trays that do not remove are the reason toasters get thrown away.
- Cord Wrap Underneath: Store it flush against the wall with the slack tucked away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will a bagel fit?
A: Yes. Extra-wide slots are the defining feature of this model - bagels, thick artisan bread and frozen waffles all go in without forcing.
Q: How many browning levels are there?
A: Six, on a shade dial from light to dark.
Q: Does it have defrost and reheat buttons?
A: Brentwood does not list defrost or reheat functions for the TS-280S, so we do not claim them. It has a stop/cancel button.
Q: Does the outside get hot?
A: It has a cool-touch housing designed to stay safe to touch during use.
Q: Is the crumb tray removable?
A: Yes - it slides out for emptying.
Care & Use
- Unplug and let the toaster cool before cleaning.
- Empty the removable crumb tray regularly - a full crumb tray is a fire risk in any toaster.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth; never immerse the toaster in water.
- Do not insert metal utensils into the slots to retrieve bread; unplug first.
