Looks like you got some nice scores.

I wonder if that GE toaster happens to have a talent in the even toasting department? I know our 2005 era Tiffany toaster likes giving you nice brown toast on one side, and barely toasting on the other...

Thankfully, I'm a special diet now to aid in the stomach and digestion department, so I don't eat foods with wheat, sugar or even excessive amounts of the UNHEALTHY fats (Cholestrol is VERY important in our bodies, but not too much)... Butter is better than Margarine, etc...

But those mixers certainly have some appeal to me... They look like they might've gotten "mixed up" in some real serious baking once upon a time

Toasting performance..

It toasts very evenly, you really can not tell one side of the bread from the other.

My sister has this same toaster in storage, it was our Grandma Baumann's and it does a great job from what I can remember.  And, my mother-in-law had the same Westinghouse coffee maker, but the upside-down basket is a PITA IMO.
