Rated 3 out of 5 by danashops from Not in Love I bought this a couple of months ago and thought this would be the perfect choice. It looks great and I generally love Kitchen Aid products but unfortunately, I don't think it toast very evenly. I actually purchased it in another color but it only toast one side so I took it back and got this. But guess what, this one does the same thing. Basically, I toast it on a 2, then turn the toast around and toast again on a one. I can't imagine anyone ever using the 4 or higher setting unless you are going for totally charred. Anyway, not exactly pleased but was too lazy to go through back to the store to return again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by C.J. from Sturdy cord We are very pleased with the toaster. Since it is not to be left plugged in, we are pleased with the sturdy cord that can stand up better to unplugging. The use of metal rather than plastic is a nice feature and it goes well with other stainless appliances nearby. The wide open slots are a plus to handle larger slices or bagels. The shade control knob rotates too easily. When wiping the toaster it is easy to move this control without knowing the number has been changed. Several pieces of toast have been ruined/over-toasted because of this. We would certainly purchase this toaster again but hope we don't have to for a good long while.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnSteen from Sleek Toaster I bought this a few months ago and I use it everyday for my toast, which I eat for breakfast. The bread I use is a bit small so I really love the manual lift, which I've never had in a toaster and always had to use a knife to get the bread out. So this is extremely functional for me. The slots are really wide for any type of bread and there is a bagel button. It also gives off small buzz sound when your toast is done, which is great because I'm often getting ready for work while toasting. I have 2 other KitchenAid appliances that are blue and this red toaster looks great alongside the other 2. It's sleek and easy to use. I just love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Single chef from Nice Toaster with a Tweak I bought this model for it's attractive look and the length of the toaster slots. Many of the toasters don't have room to accommodate a normal sized piece of bread. I exchanged it under the warranty for intermittent operation goofs because it burned a piece of brioche bread on the lowest setting. The replacement had a tendency to do uneven toasting, but I discovered that separating the heating wires a little more from the backing made them burn better. Quality control for the wiring could be improved but several toasters I've tried seem to have the same issue. For the price, it should perform a little better than it does.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chief Cook from Great Features More features than the previous kitchen aid toaster in our home. The alarm that announces the muffin/toast is done is a feature that helps with timing breakfast on the table. The cancel button is nice rather than just lifting the pop up lever to check if the toast is done, you push this button and cancel the toast. Setting to dial number 3 is perfect for English muffins, not trial and error with this toaster. The only improvement I would suggest is that when the muffin is complete it does not pop up over the top edge, I have to lift the lever to elevate the muffin out of the toaster so my suggestion is to make the toaster push the muffin just above the top edge of the toast.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ce-Ce from Disappointed! Had a good experience with our previous KitchenAid toaster (lasted over 10 years), but this one was disappointing. It practically burned toast on the lightest setting, and did so unevenly as well. A factory replacement was no better.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Gluten Free Toast Eater from Disappointed This is better than the last toaster I bought (which is why I chose, Yes I would recommend.) that was another brand, but it's still disappointing as the toast is uneven. It does OK with frozen waffles (gluten free) because I can toast them part way and then rotate them and toast them more. Gluten free bread needs to be toasted and yet it is difficult to toast as it is usually purchased frozen and often is rather "squished" in shape. I am not surprised that the toast is uneven, since I can see that the coils heat unevenly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by kmp59 from Consistently burns toast Our Kitchenaide toaster consistently burns the toast, even when set at 1 for darkness level, unless you pop it up and turn the bread around. Very unhappy with this product..

Rated 3 out of 5 by Mottley@65 from Works OK I suffered a stroke 5 years ago. KitchenAid 2 slice toaster was a good choice after I purchased a KitchenAid convection oven with no problems. However, the toaster does not completely pop up when it's finished toasting. Unfortunately I waited too long to return it. Really poor design. I looked at images of KitchenAid toaster's and thy all do the same thing. The unit gets hot, so I have to wait until the toast, beagle or waffle cools down to were I can hold it. This defeats the purpose.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathy G. from Excellent toaster A cooked breakfast, usually with eggs and toast, is a daily ritual at our house. When we were shopping for a toaster, it was my husband, an engineering type, who pointed out that the Kitchen Aid has more heating elements in the slots that the other (less expensive) brands. I was hesitant about the price, but the last time we bought a low-priced toaster, the setting adjustment knob came off after a few months. The Kitchen Aid is well constructed, and not too bulky. We are both happy with our choice. The beep when the toast is done is a nice added feature.
