[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace an old black and decker that a heating element died in. Mostly use it for breakfast things, and works good. I make pop-tarts every morning and the temp knob seems to be a suggestion at lower ranges, but mostly doesn't over cook them. Brown sugar cinnamon doesn't taste as good when burned. I'm a big kid,a den refuse to grow up when away from the office. Wife likes the style and function so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this toaster because I am so happy with my other KitchenAid appliances and I've made everything from toast to bagels to waffles and everything toasted perfectly. I would highly recommend this toaster.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does exactly what it should. Used with various breads, bagels, etc and the desired browning was perfect. Really easy to empty crumbs from each side. It did seem slower than our old 2 slice toaster but having a 4 slice toaster is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to replace an old, inefficient toaster, and glad we did. It has several features built in, the best of which is the self-centering of the brackets to accommodate the size of bread, bagel or English muffin. The only drawback we found is the size of the toaster. It is larger than most and takes up an entire cabinet shelf or must be housed on the countertop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this toaster a month ago, and I like it very much. It has a heavy duty construction with pleasing look, and nice quality. There are couple of things KitchenAid can improve in this toaster: 1. Make the lowest setting less darker. 2. Make both side equal toast, right now it makes one side darker than other.

[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 like this toaster because it toasts bagels and english muffins without issues, I guess because it has spacious slots but my only concern is that it doesn't pop up above the toaster where they are easy to grab because I need to use a fork to get them out. Not use to that but it's durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple to use and very large slots for bagels and english muffins. However, the "Shade" controls are set very high. I'm glad I selected only 2.5 for my trial run because my toast came out dark, dark brown. I'm not brave enough to try the 5 setting! Most of my toasted items are perfect at the 2 setting. I don't think I'll ever need the 3, 4, or 5...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toaster looks great. We received as a wedding present and it sticks out from the wall WAAAY more than our original toaster. It has a 4 inch lip that extends from the toaster slots to the knobs. I've used it a few times and it works well, although I'm still figuring out the settings. I tried it on "4" the other day and the bread ended up pretty burnt - more burnt than I think most people would enjoy (especially considering there's an even higher "5" setting!), so you may need to experiment to find your perfect setting. I also wish it had a setting for frozen items.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I knew my out of town family was coming to visit, I know they'd want toasted bagels and lots of them! KitchenAid to the rescue! I have since used it mostly for toast and it toasts PERFECTLY everytime and looks great on the counter. The removable crumb trays make cleanup a breeze too!
