[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a four slice toaster for my kitchen and after looking at many different models and brands, I ultimately decided on this KitchenAid 4 slice unit. I am glad I did. I purchased the toaster through a popular home improvement store. The item was shipped to me, albeit directly in its KitchenAid packaging. Despite that, it arrived safely, no harm. The toaster is well packaged, secured in styrofoam forms, and wrapped in clear plastic, with a protective static barrier on the unit as well. The chord is long enough to reach an outlet, and the toaster is designed to allow the chord to be tucked underneath the toaster. The toaster has two easy removing crumb trays that are easy to clean. The toaster slots are large enough to accept bagels and Texas Toast which is a thick piece of bread. The browning dials are easily operated. You can toast either one, two, three, or four slices. The levers also move upward to raise the toast/bagel/pastry up so that you do not burn your hands on the heating area. An excellent feature. The fit and finish of the toaster is excellent. I ran it through a couple of cycles at setting 5 to "burn" the toaster in and eliminate any of the new smell that comes from unused elements. The toaster works perfectly. I could not have asked for a nicer toaster. Well built. Great fit and finish. Stylish. It does the job nicely. I rate this item 5*s out of 5. Thank you KitchenAid for offering such a great item. It will be well used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a new toaster and this one is great! It is larger than expected and we didn't really pay attention to the dimensions. But four slices of bread or two muffins at once?! Perfect for a kitchen toaster!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this toaster when toasting bread. I quickly realized the bagel setting for bagels is not great. The bagel is cold in the middle. However, if I don't turn on bagel setting it is great. My advice: ignore the bagel setting.

[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.] We bought this to replace an old 2 slice toaster. This toaster toast more evenly and don't have to keep adjusting when you toast multiple slices. The bagel feature is very nice as well as you do not have to pry it out with a knife like we had to with our old toaster.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] long time KitchenAid customers, I looked no farther than KitchenAid when we needed a new toaster. It's everything we expected and actually even nicer than the pic, if you can imagaine ! I've already called a friend whom I knew was looking to buy a toaster to be sure they bought a KitchenAid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very pleased with the purchase of this toaster. KitchenAid is always manufactured and provided high-quality products that you can depend upon at last. It works just as I expected and is well-built. KitchenAid is a name brand name you can depend upon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because I invested in an upgraded KitchenAid stove & I wanted a nice countertop toaster to compliment it. This is a large toaster which takes up a lot of space. It also has a loud ding when your toast is done, which doesn't seem necessary. It works ok, but nothing special. Mostly looks nice on my counter but probably not worth the money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New toaster for our new vacation home. It looks excellent on our countertop; sleek design without a lot of unnecessary control knobs. Bread and bagels toast up beautifully. Very satisfied with this purchase.

[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.
