KitchenAid Toaster - 4-Slice - Brushed Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently purchased, went with the 4-slice over the 2-slice, no particular reason. Looks really nice on our counter, it is a little on the bigger side, probably would should go with the 2-slice if you’re space limited. The construction is nice and we like the styling, The only gripes I have is that the lever to push the bread down seems a little flimsy or like it could break if pushed too hard. I don’t push it down with much force, so I think it’ll be fine. The other is that if you turn the setting past 2 you’re likely going to burn whatever you’re toasting. Overall though, the toaster looks great and matches the appliances in our kitchen and we’re happy with our purchase.

I’m been very happy with this toaster for several years. This morning when I went to unplug it, I found the ground plug stayed in the socket and there was no ground wire attachment in the plug. It appears to be purely cosmetic. Very disappointed in this unsafe situation.

Purchased this toaster to replace an existing 2 slice that was beginning to have issues. After reviewing a lot of options, decided on this four slice toaster from Kitchenaid. This toaster does the job and has extra wide slots to accommodate large toast and bagels. Settings are straight forward and toast has been uniform each time over the last few weeks. We have owned a lot of Kitchenaid products in the past with very few issues, so another winner from Kitchenaid. One note is that this is a fairly large toaster, so it does take up counter space and depending on your kitchen and space, may be an issue. Other than size, I would certainly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this toaster about aa month ago and so far I am just loving it. I have an all red and black theme in my kitchen. I try hard to stay in that theme and with Kitchen Aid it is both easy and beautiful. In addition to its looks and the MOST important part is the quality of the equipment. The dial to darkness setting works just as stated. I is one thru 5 and at one the toast comes out just golden brown and for Bagel you just pop it to 2 and hit the bagel button another golden brown and heated all through the slots are large enough you can almost place the whole bagel in the slot. But you will want it toasted through. Enjoy it I know I am

Unfortunately, i've had problems with this toaster from the start. Bought this toaster less than a year ago!!! From the start it was a fight each time to keep the right side of the toaster down, had to play and wiggle until it held in place. Now, the handle/lever on the right side has broken off. Not sure if i'll replace the handle since it's a pain to keep the lever down in place or should I wait for the left side to break also and buy another brand of toaster. I have a KitchenAid fridge, dishwasher and stove for 8+ years without any issues. Unfortunately, this toaster does not hold up to the high standard of this brand!
