2-Slice Toaster with Manual High-Lift Lever

We had our old Kitchen Aid toaster for so many years we can’t remember when we got it. So when it came time to buy a new one I debated getting a cheaper one, but I couldn’t do it. I’m so glad that we went ahead and purchased another Kitchen Aid toaster. It was well worth the extra cost! It toasts bagel beautifully as well as normal toast.

Works great. Looks good with other stainless steel appliances. Like kitchen aid products. Seems consistently good products.

Checks almost all the boxes. I'd take 1/2 a star off for not having a feature almost no toaster has, except the Breville Bit More Toaster, (that I know of), and that's where you can manually lift the lever up while it's toasting, and it doesn't stop the toasting action, (doesn't pop up the toaster trays), so you can just take a quick peek to see if the toast is done. Problem is, though it toasts pretty well on both sides, the inner side is always a bit darker. Not a huge deal breaker, but I also found this KitchenAid toasted quicker and shockingly the same on both sides of the toast. PROS: * Toasts the same on both sides. The only other toasters I tested that did this were the "Long Slot" toasters where you put in two pieces of bread side by side in the same slot. Note: I found the Martha Stewart 2 Slice Long Slice Toaster to be the best, but it lacks a Bagel, Reheat, or Frozen button, like this KitchenAid has. * Has Bagel, Reheat, and Frozen buttons, (as well as Cancel, of course). * Toasts two pieces of bread in roughly 3 minutes, to a medium brown, on number 3. * Mid-tier priced at $75. OK, a little pricey, but worth it. The Breville was $109 as of this review. Other units I tested, like the Martha Stewart mentioned about, were in the $35-50 range. CONS: * Doesn't have the "take a look" feature the Breville Bit More Toaster has. For the Record, I did hours of research and bought and tested these: * Elite Gourmet ECT3200 2-Slice, 1 Long Slot * Breville - the Bit More 2-Slice Extra-Wide and Deep Slot Toaster, BTA720XL * Elite Gourmet ECT2517G SLIMTOAST™ 2-Slice, Long Slot Toaster, * Martha Stewart 2 Slice Long Slot Toaster * Breville BTA820XL Die-Cast Smart Toaster, Waiting on the BUYDEEM DT730 Motorized Toaster, which looks like a real contender, in that it automatically lowers and raises the toast - and when it raises it, it's nice and high so it's very easy to pull out the small things you like to toast. I will update this review if it wins out over this excellent KitchenAid.

The toaster feels very solid and looks good on the counter. Its actual toasting ability is not as good. It’s always darker on one side, and you dare not use settings above a 1 or it will burn. And why does it beep when it’s done?? The ka-CHUNK noise of the toast popping up is perfectly sufficient. Not fond of bagels and haven’t tried it for that.

My new red Kitchen Aid toaster came as scheduled and packaged very well too. I knew when I opened the box I would find style and a quality product that I could count on. A name and reputation are so important when purchasing a toaster especially. Thank you Kitchen Aid for your style and performance.

Bought this toaster because it was expensive and I wanted a premium product that worked correctly. It is not consistent at all. Level 3 burns the toast, level 2 doesn’t toast it at all. I should have bought a 16.00 toaster not this 75.00 toaster. They work the same.

Nice compact size, easy to use, and looks great!

I’m picky. Really picky. I’ve used all sorts of toasters and toaster ovens. The ovens CAN be great but they take so long. So for a straight toaster this thing does a great job. It toasts evenly and doesn’t take forever. It does well on bagels, which I’m not supposed to eat but am literally eating one as I write this. At least it’s toasted evenly.

I felt like I didn't need a toaster with a digital screen lol, this toaster has all the features you need. Have used it for a bit now and the toast is always evenly toasted, the bagel function works well too. Crumb tray ejects with a push button which is nice and it stays put if you store the toaster away and bring it out sometimes. Easy enough to clean.

Excelente calidad y control de tostado. Además de que caben bolillos pequeños y bagels sin problema

Compré este tostador KitchenAid y la verdad superó mis expectativas. Además de ser muy bonito y tener un diseño elegante, se nota que está fabricado con materiales de muy buena calidad; incluso pesa, lo que le da una sensación de ser un producto resistente y bien construido. El tostado es uniforme tanto para pan de caja como para bagels, que era algo importante para mí. Otra característica que me encantó es que emite un sonido al terminar el ciclo, así sabes exactamente cuándo está listo sin tener que estar pendiente. Considero que tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio. Sin duda, volvería a comprarlo y lo recomiendo a quienes buscan un tostador de buena calidad, funcional y con un diseño atractivo.

très heureux du grille-pain

Excelente de tamaño, super potencia y lo hace muy rápido, además es bonito, la verdad me encanta, como todo lo de kitchen aid
