Assessment scenario: Two-slice routine with a dedicated Bagel button
A current-reference 22977J assessment for shoppers who need two slices per cycle and a documented Bagel button; its 10-inch body width and bread-opening unknowns still need a real-counter and actual-bread check.
Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- The exact U.S. page identifies model 22977J as a two-slice Steel Blue toaster with two wide slots and a Bagel button.
- The page-linked guide names 22977J / Type T143 and lists 120 V / 60 Hz / 750 W; its Bagel instruction adds toasting time for bagels, English muffins or buns.
- The exact page publishes 6.3 H x 10 W x 5.3 D inches, enabling outside-body comparison only.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- Neither exact page nor linked guide publishes usable slot aperture dimensions or a maximum slice length/thickness; wide-slot and Bagel wording do not guarantee a specific food fits.
- The guide does not describe one-sided Bagel heating. It says frozen foods may need an additional cycle rather than documenting a Frozen/Defrost control.
- The 10-inch body width may exclude narrow counters, and body dimensions do not add clearance, cord access or room to open the bottom crumb tray. No ongoing stock or seller-specific warranty is asserted.
Check these before ordering
- Confirm the exact label reads 22977J, the Steel Blue edition and the package being offered; review the actual seller's condition, return terms and warranty coverage.
- Check the actual food opening with your regular bread instead of assuming a bagel or thick slice fits; the source documents no numerical aperture or maximum food size.
- Measure the counter for 10 inches of body width and 5.3 inches of body depth, then separately allow clearance, loading, cord/outlet access and bottom-tray cleaning access.
- Compare the unit rating plate with the directly linked 120 V / 60 Hz / 750 W guide row and check the exact label against current official notices.
