[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, we love this toaster. Was bummed when our 20+ yr old Kitchinaid toaster suddenly gave up. We loved that old toaster and sorry it’s no longer available. Hoping this new one lasts as long as the last one.

This replaced another big name 4 slice toaster. The browning dial allows for just the right amount of browning for each pair. It works well for single slices too. Bagels are browned on the inside and chewy on the outside. I would definitely purchase this item again. Chose the red to match my KitchenAid bowl lift mixer and my KitchenAid coffee bean grinder, which is amazing as well. Three KitchenAids, three winners. Keep up the good work KitchenAid!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a new toaster because the old one was not toasting evenly. Well...this one isn't doing any better. I have to toast things twice (flipping the bread) because one side doesn't get toasted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this toaster - the shape and size are perfect and fairly compact for a 4-slice toaster. It toasts very evenly, which is a plus. The up/down levers are a bit hard to push and sometimes don't catch when trying to push down to start the toast cycle, but otherwise this toaster is the best one we've had in many years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 4 slice toaster is by far the best toaster I have ever used. It evenly toasts the bread on both sides. It makes a beep when it's done toasting which is nice because sometimes I get distracted when waiting for my bread to toast. I have gone through like 4 different toasters and this is the only one that toasts my thick wheat bread evenly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a wedding registry gift and absolutely love the "shade" feature. What's nice is the 4-slotted structure of the toaster - so 2 can be made to my "shade" liking and the other 2 slots can be used for my fiance's preferred toasted "shade".

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this toaster about a month or so. We like it very much. The description was that longer pieces of bread would fit, but we still have to cut off one end of larger slices. That's ok, it all works and has a setting to do bagels, which is great. Love the red color!

I purchased this toaster on April 22, 2022, received it on April 24, 2022, did not use it until today May 18, 2022. It smelled like brunt plastic and suddenly, I could see sparks within the toaster in a panic I unplugged it and took it outside and left it there until it stopped smoking and completely cooled down. I have grandchildren who live with me, if one of my grandson’s would have used the toaster first, my home could have caught fire due to this faulty toaster. I just don’t understand how a company can put a product out without extensive testing for safety. So disappointed with this KitchenAid 4 Slice Toaster with Manual High-Lift Lever. Rating is below poor - Product is a fire hazard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I encountered an issue with the toaster tripping the GFI about a year after purchase that may not have been related to the toaster itself. KitchenAid shipped me an immediate replacement without any hassle. I like a company that stands solidly behind their products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Would have given if 5 stars, but it tends to toast a little unevenly. Considering what we paid for this item, I would expect it to toast evenly. I do love being able to toast 4 slices at once though! The buttons tend to be a little finicky as well. You have to push harder than I would expect to get them to stay down.
