Fantastic item. Quality is first class Absolutely love it. Looks great in my kitchen

Brilliant keep warm feature is just great!

Although I love Kitchenaid products, I'm disappointed that I've had 3 toasters in a row as each one had to be returned as there was a problem with each. Fortunately it was within the 2 year guarantee period. I probably won't buy another one.

I like the way the bread is lowered into the toaster by a motor and then, when done, raises up gently. The bagel setting is useful to toast one side for bagels and English muffins. It is easy to adjust the browning level. My specific toaster is a little disappointing in that the toasting is not even (one side toasts a bit more than the other) on the left slot, perhaps a "balance" control could be considered to ensure even toasting. The slots are nice and deep and wide but they could be a bit longer for some breads such as "Pane Pugliese" (an excellent, if wide, toasting bread). Otherwise it appears very well built and is easy to use.
