KitchenAid, Artisan 2-Slot Toaster. Auto-Sensor Keep Warm Function

Having bought the kettle I just had to purchase the Toaster to go with it and it didn’t disappoint. It makes the best toast ever, perfect colour the bread slowly develops into a lovely crispy soft crunch which melts in your mouth. Beautifully automatic. The toasted sandwich was just as good. It’s extremely well made and a lovely design. My old toaster simply couldn’t compare.

It’s smaller and more compact than my old one, so it doesn’t take up much space on the kitchen counter. It toasts well and is easy to use. I also really like the sound it makes when the toast is ready—it’s a nice little feature that lets you know straight away. I would recommend it.

Fabulous toaster! So pleased with it. It looks amazing and performs amazing. I purchased alongside the kettle, and both are brilliant.

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.
