This landing addresses a combined earlier-inclusive need for two slices, Bagel and Defrost together; the fact record places both documented controls in the same 22990 operating plan.

Assessment scenario: Earlier two-slice toaster with Bagel and Defrost
Include earlier models for two slices per cycle with both dedicated Bagel and Defrost controls; the 22990 manual documents both in one configuration, but no offer or bread-fit guarantee follows.
Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- The exact page identifies two-slice model 22990 and directly links the 840307700 guide; its model table names 22990 / Type T117 / 120 V / 60 Hz / 900 W.
- The guide documents Bagel and Defrost as separate controls in the same toaster: Bagel is a cut-side-in, one-side routine, while user-selected Defrost adds time to appropriate frozen foods.
- The same plan also includes a distinct 30-second Reheat without added color, a seven-position shade selector and a manual high-lift lever.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- The exact manufacturer page says NO LONGER AVAILABLE; an earlier-model match does not mean a new, used or refurbished unit is currently offered or that a seller warranty applies.
- No numerical opening dimensions, maximum slice length or food-thickness limit are published. Wide/deep wording and the picture do not guarantee that a particular bagel or slice fits.
- The 6.8-inch width and 11.25-inch depth are outside-body values only. They do not provide safe clearance, loading room, cord/outlet access or rear crumb-tray access.
- The checked recall index and named 2008 notice are bounded checks, not comprehensive series-code or unit-level clearance.
- The sources do not establish simultaneous Bagel-plus-Defrost button behavior for a single item; “both controls present” is not a combined-cycle performance test.
Check these before ordering
- Confirm the exact toaster label says model 22990 and Type T117; compare the nameplate with the linked guide rating of 120 V / 60 Hz / 900 W.
- For a used or old-stock unit, inspect the actual lever, buttons, cord, rear slide-out tray and package completeness; review the seller’s return terms and verify whether any warranty is claimable.
- Measure the appliance body and separately reserve required operating, loading, cord and rear-tray service space; the guide says not to operate it in an enclosed appliance cabinet.
- Check current official safety notices against the exact model and any relevant series/lot code; this research does not clear an individual unit.
- For Bagel use, verify actual opening fit for your bread and follow the guide’s cut-side-in orientation.
