[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 2 toasters of a different brand failed within a month of purchase, I bought a KitchenAid---it's a joy! The KitchenAid Toaster toasts just right: No burning and I especially appreciate the "beeper" that let's us know the toast is ready--that's a great feature. Glad I bought a KitchenAid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not happy with this toaster. It does not toast evenly at all, and the "ready" tone is silly, it sounds at the same time as it goes up, which is loud enough. The measurements were not correct so it doesn't fit where we planned on storing it. Right now it's back in the box, and I'm using my old Sunbeam because it seems better to me now after using this expensive one and not happy. And the red color is cheesy, very plastic color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have tried at least three different toasters. None lasted very long and none cooked evenly. We finally woke up and spent a few extra dollars. Wished we would have done that a long time ago. We always knew KitchenAid makes superior products. And this is no different. It cooks very evenly. Settings make toasting accurate. Can not say enough great things about it. KitchenAid is the only products we look for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toaster has a great retro look. I love that it's not just a four-slice toaster, you can also set different settings for each side. This works out great because I like my toast dark and my husband likes his light! It toasts perfectly with an easy dial setting. I also like that each side has it's own little crumb tray. I couldn't be happier with it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the looks of the toaster especially the red body but have found problems with the workings of the toaster. When it toasts it has one side darker then the other, and the bread gets tough to cut. I love the whistle sound when the toaster is finished and the lift, but the knobs that you adjust darkness and lightness are not tight and move freely. Also, the lever that takes the bread down does not latch the first time, have to bounce it a couple of times. I am 84 years old so I just use it but can;t say I am overly happy with it but it works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a new toaster, bought this one with it matching my other KitchenAid appliances, surprised how large it is , but it makes great toast and the slots are the right size for large bagels,perfect color on number two setting. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I looked for a 4-slot toaster that would accommodate thick English muffins and bagels. This toaster does that very well. It toasts evenly - I tried different shades until I found one I liked best. I choose the color Red for this toaster and it looks good on the kitchen counter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have resided myself to the fact that making good toast is not a fast process. The new toaster is very deliberate in the quality of toast it renders. It is always evenly toasted and the individual settings lets my wife and I toast our bread to our own liking. The little whistle to let you know when the toast is done is a nice touch of awareness.

I redid my entire kitchen about 3years ago and I got everything new and I mean everything but when it came to my appliances I wanted kitchenade because for as long as I can remember kitchenade appliances were the most reliable most durable and the best made and quality and beauty were never a question you could just count on it, and for the most part I am completely happy with all my kitchenade products except for 2 and this toaster in one of them. The toaster doesnt brown on one side of the toast, the lift up slider sticks and it just is very disappointing that it doesnt work the way I expected it to and for the price of this it should work flawlessly I could have boughton a cheaper model for alot less and it would have worked probably alot more efficiently. I loved this when I purchased it but the more I use it the more I am completely unsatisfied with this purchase,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used once to burn off oils. First use in left pair was hot with toast darker than I thought it should be. Since then each use on each side was perfectly toasted. Still early for durability assessment, but I like the results so far. Have not used to toast bagels or frozen items, or to reheat something previously toasted. I would recommend this toaster to anyone looking for a side by side 4 slice toaster. Happy toasting!
