[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some of the slots do not toast the bread equally on both sides. Unfortunate. I am a big KitchenAid supporter. A let-down.

[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 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".

Bought this model as it had some of the best reviews, it was number three on most lists just under Krups and Cuisinart, both of which listed the only cons as “did not toast evenly” and that is why I did not buy either. On these “best of” lists this models only con was it was considered pricey which I did not think it was, until it I found out it consistently toasted unevenly. I gave it 2 stars because it's well made, looks good and technically toasts perfectly on the inside of the toaster pairs not the outside. Returning and will be buying several models to compare

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple weeks ago and have used it for more than just toasting bread. I have also toasted bagels, with NO problem!. English muffins I had to use the lift and it worked for me great. It even beeps when done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because my old toaster died. I love kitchenaid. I received a stand mixer for my birthday, so why not buy everything new? You can adjust both sides separately. Wouldn't buy any othet brand!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this just before Christmas. We have toasted bagels, homemade bread and toaster waffles in it. Once you learn the settings, you will find it easy to get just the right browning on your items. We also enjoy being able to do 2 different items at the same time. One side may have a bagel and the other homemade bread.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new four slice toaster. It cleans beautifully and I really appreciate the slide out crumb trays. The setting controls are consistent day after day. It is also beneficial for me to have an audio alarm that tells you when the toast is ready!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well made and good looking toaster. The audible signal when the toast is done is a plus. I would only request the toaster slots be a little longer, to fit rye bread inside, since those loafs are usually a bit wider than normal. They still toast, but at an angle.

[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.
