[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned several 4-slice toasters (mostly Breville) because none of them was durable. The 2 most common failures were heating element and bent internal bread slice support; both were unrepairable. The Zwilling toaster seems to be built like a tank and operates smoothly. During one week of use, everything has functioned as advertised. Bread and bagels toast evenly. The toaster level buttons actually serve a useful and repeatable purpose. Be careful-I found that medium toasting levels are consistently obtained with lower heating numbers as opposed to other toasters that are capricious and arbitrary. Bread lowers and rises progressively, avoiding toast tossed into the air and premature moving parts failure. The outside of the toaster remains cool with prolonged use. The crumb tray is a delight. Now comes the big test: durability. We’ll check back over time to let you know.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a 2 slot toaster for about 20 years, and this 4 slot is an amazing upgrade! It’s beautiful, sleek and substantial. My husband likes his toast darker, so it’s nice to have our own slots. We popped frozen toast in to make our first sandwiches, and it was shocking that our toast was toasty all the way through! We have certainly upgraded our culinary experience with this awesome toaster.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toaster cooks the bread slices evenly. Don’t have to worry about getting it burned. And the look and design is so modern. Love this toaster.
Love the look of this Zwilling toaster. Clean lines, nothing for crumbs to stick on and easy to clean. Looks great on the countertop. The settings are easy to use, and are very accommodating. My husband loves the defrost section which he uses to warm up muffins from the freezer as well as waffles. The bagel setting toasts the surface evenly, and can also be used for English muffins, and other breads you need one sided toasting. Didn't know what I was missing prior to using this toaster. Well made and very durable.
This is a great toaster! Nice even toasting on both sides, and doesn't take a long time. The bagel function works great too - put your bagel into it with the cut side facing the center, and it toasts the cut side nice and crispy and just warms the outside so it stays warm and soft. Bagel perfection! The only negative I can mention about this toaster, and it's a minor complaint is that it's very difficult to read the toast level settings on the adjustment knobs as the numbers are very tiny, and there is little visible contrast against the knobs. Also, the price tag is a bit steep for a toaster, but I think it will be justified down the road if the quality holds up.
