I purchased this toaster because I wanted or thought I was buying quality. It so happens it toasts the same as the brand i replaced it with that I paid 1/2 the price for. I have to pop the bread up 1/2 way through & turn it upside down to toast evenly. It burns one side of English muffins & the other side is lightly toasted. I have purchased 3 kitchen aid stand mixers, actually 4 stand mixers, gave one a long time ago as a gift, 1 hand mixer & now 2 toasters. I’ve been pretty loyal but now not so much with the toaster. Toaster is very disappointing for the price I paid.

An excellent toaster! There is even browning on both sides of the bread. I love the tone that let's me know the toast is ready. It's sleek and a definite upgrade from my previous 15 year old toaster!
I bought this in August of 2025. The missing link! This will finish our kitchen appliance makeover and give us the full matching-brand vibe. Works really well and we love it!
It's okay, still getting use to it but the cord is too short.

Dear Mom, Thank you for your feedback. While your toaster seems to be functioning as intended. We're sorry to hear it hasn't fully met your expectations. Please reach out to our Customer Experience team at 800-541-6390 so we can assist further.
Do not buy this toaster, it's garbage. I had a similar toaster from kitchen aide for years. It wasn't toasting evenly anymore so I replaced it with this one. You would think a company like this could master the most basic kitchen appliance. It either burns one side or the other, doesn't toast one or the other at all, bagel function has zero affect. You never know what it's going to do, not toast at all, toast one side only ( while not on bagel), or burn one side to a crisp. It's a complete waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this and it only toasted on one side and that was only on half of the bread, and no I didn’t have the bagel button on. I contacted the company and they send me a new one again only to have this one do the same thing. I’m done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the design and functionality of this toaster. Toasts beautifully and has a bell to let you know when toasted item pops up.
