Toasts equally on both sides

If you are looking for a quality toaster, this is the one!! sturdy, easy to use, and love the brushed stainless steel surface all over. Crumb trays also sturdy and easy to remove and clean. I had one for 8 years and tried another brand recently, what a mistake!!! kudos to Kitchen Aid for a quality product

Bought this almost three years ago now with regular use and it’s still doing great. It’s a solid four slot toaster. It does cook faster the second time you use it (in a row) so be careful or your toast might burn a little, but that’s never been an issue for us. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have any handles so since we don’t keep ours on the counter but have it in a cabinet out of the way until we need it, we have to grab it by the slots or bend down and awkwardly pull it out with both hands. But that’s not a deal breaker for a decent toaster.

I works really well. Product is easy to operate.

Great looking, works well, matches my entire kitchen aid appliance filled kitchen.

I’ve been looking for a toaster for quite some time but reviews (not just on Amazon) prevented me from purchasing anything on the market- too expensive to have to fight with the toaster or the manufacturer! Then I saw this one, read the reviews and took the leap. Best $75 spent ever!The instructions and description of the unit helps to understand how it works so a person doesn’t expect something that the unit cannot do. No more burnt toast! Started with the #3 setting and went from there. Remember that there is a certain way to put in the bagel because of how the toaster is designed to work- you will be happy with the results.Very happy with this purchase and if something changes then I will do an update. Happy toasting!

Wanted a new toaster to replace a very old unit that finally gave up. Did not want any fancy features and this one almost met that requirement, but I am actually happy with the cancel button (works perfectly and much more convenient than the old one), the quiet little beep it makes when it pops up, and the very smooth darkness selector. Took only two tries to get the setting I wanted. Recommended.

UPDATE:Now that I have had this toaster for several months and have used it every day and sometimes more than once a day, I can absolutely say that this is THE FINEST TOASTER ON THE MARKET FOR SALE IN THE US HANDS DOWN. I was streaming Chicago Fire Season 5, Episode 1 where Lt. Kelly Severide was making a sandwich on toast. And guess which toaster the firehouse station had in the kitchen? Yep, you probably guessed it correctly. It was this toaster. So if it’s good enough for the firefighters in Chicago especially in a poor neighborhood like the show is filmed in, then it must be an excellent toaster. Kidding aside, in the four or so months I have toaster gosh knows how many slices of bread I have toasted I have never had even one slice popped out of the toaster any differently from the previous 500+ slices toasted.Simply stated, it toasts absolutely the same way time after time. Both sides of the bread are toasted evenly time and time again. With this toaster, I get no streaks down the bread. It toasts each slice from the center to all four corners.No toasters I have purchased, regardless of brand or money spent, and returned has ever done this. You can’t go wrong with this KitchenAid toaster. It even beats KitchenAid’s $500.00, die-cast aluminum toaster and it saved me money in the long run.I don’t know about you but I will and did and has paid any amount of money for a toaster that works—meaning toasts perfectly (evenly) slice after slice—and hated all other toasters. And by the way, this particular KitchenAid toaster is not light in weight. Though not as heavy as the KitchenAid die-cast aluminum toaster, it is heavy enough so not to tip over when pressing the leavers down to start the toasting process.If there is a downside—and I don’t consider it a downside but others might—it toasts bread slowly. On the #2 setting, it will give you a medium-golden brown color piece of toast. Setting #3 is too brown for me and will most likely will be for most other Americans.In closing this update, I want to leave you with one thought. I.only hope that if you purchase this toaster and there are problems with it that I did not encounter, please return it to Amazon for another toaster rather than letting the 30-day time to return items lapse. And please consider purchasing the extended warranty for three or four years. You may never need it but if you find it breaks down in need of repair ayear or so later, you will be covered. It is an inexpensive ‘insurance policy’ that you will be glad you have.________________________________________________________________________________________________There are toasters and then there are toasters. I have purchased and returned so many toasters that I can’t count how many only because they can’t toast evenly on one side much less both sides.The brand handmade in Sussex, England and the toaster that is Retro are the two most expensive toasters I have owned were OK but simply could not toast evenly on both sides. Bagels came out un-toasted. Just heated for the most part.,These two mentioned above cost several hundreds of dollars and it just goes to prove that paying that kind of money does not guarantee a buyer a great toaster.I have also purchased several inexpensive toasters ranging from $30 to $45 but to no avail. All these and the ones I have already mentioned may toast fairly well on one side but the toast comes out toasted but with striping.However, I have now found THE TOASTER that can and does toast a piece of bread as it is made to do. And it’s rather moderately priced. Inexpensive, not really. But for the the toast it produces, I have to say it is inexpensive. I mentioned that other toasters produced a striping effect. This comes from the heating element. However, for some reason, this does not happen with THIS KitchenAid toaster. A friend of mine owns the heavy and big KitchenAid toaster but it costs $500.00. The reviews are pretty good. But $500 for a toaster? To each his own, I say.There are only two things you might find lacking on this toaster: two functions are missing that are found on most other toasters which are ‘Defrost’ and ‘Reheat.’ I don’t put anything frozen in the toaster and I don’t have any need to reheat any item in the toaster. Other might disagree. Why KitchenAid left these two functions off I cannot say; however, it does seem stupid to do so.It’s a great toaster and I hope that other buyers will agree.

Used it for a couple of weeks and when I set it to "1" (lowest), it toasts a little lighter (light brown) than I would want. "2" causes the toasts to become a little burnt on the edges.However, if I need another round of toast, leaving it on the lowest setting results in golden toasty brown.Was thinking about getting one with a digital display and additional settings but those would introduce more points of failure. My new KitchenAid does the job. It toasts.

I ordered this toaster specifically to fit in our kitchen cabinet. I love KitchenAid products, and they have never failed me. However, the measurements on this listing are way off. Instead of being 11.62 inches wide, it's 12.8 inches wide -- over an inch of difference, making it impossible to fit into the original space I'd had in mind. I'm keeping it, because it's otherwise great, but people should know that the listing measurements are wildly inaccurate (both the depth and height are also off, though not by as much as the width). Just hoping to help the next buyer.

I am a senior and do not need touch controls or digital readout on a toaster. This toaster is made by a good brand that has been around for years and therefore should last. The bread on level 3 comes out perfectly toasted on both sides and the bagel setting seems to work well also. Although I did not see within the description, there is an audible chime that occurs when your toast or other item pops. I don't mind this at all especially if one is concentrating on something else at the time.
