KitchenAid KCO1005OB 1/2-Cubic-Foot 6-Slice Countertop Oven, Onyx Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a disappointment.I am a huge Kitchenaid fan and I can't believe the poor quality of this toaster oven.As others have said, the finish is poor...the paint is not smooth and is chipping off around the oven door straight out of the box.The stainless steel trim is rough and cheap looking; it seems poorly machined.As for the performance, toasting is totally aggravating since the top element gets MUCH hotter than the bottom.The timer is cheap and the "ticking" is annoying.When the timer ends, the bell is out of synch.There is no on/off switch; just the timer to control the oven.I expected MUCH more from a toaster oven in this price range.I was happier with my old Toastmaster that cost about $40 and lasted for years.You can do much better than this for considerably less money.

KitchenAid KTT570 Toaster, 4 Slice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)...designed by engineers who have never eaten toast, and think a toaster is a cartoon character on their PC's screen saver. The KTT5700B is unable to produce evenly toasted bread. It has alot of controls and sensor functions like most of the newer toasters on the market, but all the toasters I've tried have the same problems. New toasters have a heating element made from a thin conductive cord or wire wrapped around a heat resistant card that does not heat evenly or predictably, reguardless of their computerized controls.
What the public needs is a simple timer controlled toaster, made with a thick wire element supported by ceramic insulators in a chromed steel body ( like a quality blender ) with slots that are wide enough and a spring capable of completely lifting the contents, wheather they are toast slices, bagles, or poptarts. ...

Sensio Bella Professional Slice Toaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent way too many hours reading reviews and studying features of toasters.My husband finally chose for me and had Bella sent to the house.I just could not bring myself to spend that much money on a toaster.How different could it really be?Toast is toast. I had read someone commenting that the bread was toasted on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.I was skeptical.I make my own bread..sourdough, rye, and multigrain.I toasted multigrain first and was amazed.The toast was crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. It really is different.Even my son noticed the difference.The seeds and grains of the bread were actually enhanced by being warmed but not dry.I make bread in all sizes and it accommodates them all.Great for short pieces of bread-no need for tongs. Long oblong pieces fit great.

Pros:long slots, sleek style, easy to clean, built solid, have read you can replace the heating elements, toasts evenly, toasts only the outside of the bread (what a difference)
Cons: It is the size of a small mailbox.

KitchenAid 2-Slice, Two-Slot Toaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the only toaster on the market that has a differential heating button (hotter on the inside heaters, lesser on the outside heaters) to be used only for bagels.The cut side of the bagel (inside) will toast nicely, whereas the uncut side (outside) will only warm.The bagel comes out perfect, not rock hard which is often the case when it's been toasted on both sides.
My only disappointment with this toaster is how it toasts regular white bread/English Muffins.Since the bread is thin, it is held too far away from the heating elements, and it usually takes two attempts to get the bread actually toasted to anything more than just a light brown.If you want your toast darker, you'll have to adjust your setting, and then toast again.
If you are looking for a superb toaster for your bagels, this is the one for you.But if you don't eat toasted bagels that often, you would be better off with a more traditional toaster, without the extra wide slats.

KitchenAid KMTT400 Toaster, 4 Slice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Note: I was not able to change the rating from my first review which was based on a defective toaster. The new rating should be 5 stars. We've discovered the best bagel toaster ever!

In my first review I said I'd be back when KitchenAide sent a replacement toaster. Not only did the one I ordered from Amazon not toast, the stainless steel stained with fingerprints and smudges of all things. That was three weeks ago. The replacement came last week, and I'm quite satisfied with the new one. It does not retained smudges and fingerprints and, more important, it toasts just fine. I especially like the way it handles bagels -- crisp on the outside, toasted on the inside.

It still has a minor "problem" with English muffins which I don't understand, and buyers note that you have to use the "bagel setting: to toast English muffins. Still, they need a higher setting, perhaps because they're thinner than bagels and regularly sliced bread.

Why not 5 stars? Because it takes so long to toast anything, or seemingly so. Up to two minutes for some breads, not that I don't have two minutes to spare in my lifetime, but timing eggs and other breakfast items so that the toast is ready at the same time will take some getting used to.

How soon we forget: I can't remember how long it took to toast in a toaster over, so this may be unfair to KitchenAide. In fact, I'll go 4.5 stars because on top of the design (classic rather than full of gadgets - I half expected another timer and clock to be in the kitchen), it has really good stainless steel AND the sides remain cool even while toasting. Yep, 4.5 stars. What would it take for 5 stars? I miss the old "Ping!" when toast popped up on our last toaster. That was 35 years ago, so maybe that was my imagination.

One last and very important note: We did not return this toaster to Amazon. We wanted a toaster, so we called KitchAide, and KitchenAide deserves a 5 in customer relations. They sent a new toaster and a prepaid UPS return label. There were no questions, no third degree. Just good old-fashioned customer relations, and I do mean OLD-fashioned. (P.S. I rate very few companies for that kind of customer relations: the "new" Dell; Amazon; and now KitckenAide.)

Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read previous reviews of this and other toasters that I had considered purchasing. I have always had good experiences with Krups, Kitchen Aid, Braun, and Cuisinart products-- in that order. At home, we really enjoy and have had great experiences and reliability from the first two brands in particular.

Many of today's toasters seemmore like small ovens, given the amount of wattage output they can deliver. In the case of the toaster, I chose the Krups 4-slice toaster. (The Kitchen Aid was a bit too long for the small amount of counter space that I have in my apartment's kitchen). Both have very wide slots, seemingly designed for bagels and frozen breakfast treats.

I noted that some reviewers had complained that the Krups does not toast evenly. I have used a number of brand name toasters, and one could say the same for all-- especially those with the wider slots.

What I do like about the Krups is that it does do a great job in positioning and holding bread evenly between the heating elements in each slot, which in turn is helpful in evenly toasted bread. Whether the toasting is even depends, I found, on the freshness and size of the bread; also, you should experiment with the heat settings, to determine which is best for you. Larger loaf sizes will bend slightly to one side or the other in the slots; hence, I do not always obtain even toasting of these bread slices.

I am very satisfied with the results that I obtain from the Krups toaster, and recommend it without reservation.
