Where are the ratings on 4 slice toasters? The website is difficult to navigate at times.

For something as basic as a toaster, why aren't there ratings for 2 AND more importantly, 4 slice toasters? There is a BIG difference in the two and if you wanted a 4 slice, there is no way to tell which is the best. This is thee most common household appliance you could review, please make this distinction in your next review (and soon, I hope).

IT SEEMS C/R IS COVERING LESS PRODUCTS. I AM LOOKING FOR AN INFRARED COUNTER TOP OVEN. I FOUND ABOUT 8 DIFFERENT BRANDS. WHY CAN'T I FIND THEM IN C/R, THAT I JUST SUBSCRIBED TOO, IN ORDER TO PICK THE BEST INFRARED OVEN?

I wish each of the rating pages were dated so we might know how current the information is

Where are the ratings??? And do you mention if a toaster is UL Listed? I bought (and returned) one recently whose manual said 12 times to UNPLUG the toaster when not in use or unattended. 12 times! The manufacturer of this "Elite" 4-slice toaster has clearly built a fire hazard and warns us. Where is CU on this most common of household appliances?

I'm unable to find any info on countertop infrared ovens.I'm especially interested in the Nu-Wave infrared,conduction,convection oven. Am I the only person that's interested in one of these ovens?
