KitchenAid KTT340 2-Slice Toaster

Pros: Extra wide slots, power cord storage, a warm button, and removable crumb tray.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Toasts Bagels and breads evenly. Also great for just using the warm function for warming up English Muffins, Poptarts and Homemade breads without browning them.

Review: For a few months now I have been out in several stores checking and looking at several types and prices of toasters. The Oster 4 slice toaster that I have had for a few years now has not been working very well. It only browns on one side of the bread and...

Pros: Solid/heavy, toasts evenly, great bagel feature, warmer nice, crumb tray included.

Cons: $50 price tag, but worth it.

The Bottom Line: Solid toaster that toasts evenly; especially on bagels: toasts the inside without burning the outside.

Review: As suggested, I'm adding a few more details to my original review. The bagel feature on this toaster allows you to toast only the cut (inside) side of the bagel without toasting the outside. The slots easily accommodate large bagels. The ...

Pros: Can get in different colors.

Cons: Some colors are hard to find in-store.

Review: I bought this toaster because I think the name says it all. It toasts bread well. The bagel feature is amazing. The warm feature is okay. Have been using this toaster for about a year now and love it. So happy I threw away my last $10.00 toaster. ...

Pros: Warming setting, easy clean up

Cons: Occasionally cooks uneven

The Bottom Line: Great toaster for everyday use! It looks good, cleans easily! It takes getting use to cooking a bagel, but in the end it's worth it.

Review: Updated April 26, 2006 My husband and I are big fans of Kitchen Aid products, especially hand held utensils, so I was excited to get this toaster for Christmas. I know, a toaster, BUT it was on my list, "a kitchen aid toaster". My husband ...

Pros: Toasts evenly, bagels come out perfectly done

Cons: Sometimes frozen breads require extra toasting, warming feature ineffective

The Bottom Line: A big step up from bargain-priced toasters, the KitchenAid does a great job with bagels and thickly-sliced breads

Review: I spent years in graduate school making do with a five-dollar toaster. After moving into my first home, I decided it was definitely worth the splurge to upgrade to a toaster worthy of my homemade breads. I was given a KitchenAid 2-Slice Toaster as a ...

Pros: Reliable, even toasting. Sturdy plastic.

Cons: Will over toast if you push down again on same setting.

Review: My experience has been favorable so far.I bought because of the heavy duty plastic material and the extra buttons. Adjust according to type of bread. White toasts faster so use a lower setting. Love the bagel and warming buttons. The slide out crumb tray ...

Pros: It works fairly well and is easy to use. Nice clean look. Wide slots.

Cons: Does not always toast evenly. A little over priced.

The Bottom Line: If you can find one that works that is a little less expensive, I would try it out before spending the $50.00 for the KitchenAid.

Review: I had been on the search for the 'perfect' toaster for several months. I had bought and returned two different toasters before purchasing the KitchenAid. I had been through the 'cheap' toasters that just didn't work and was in hopes the KitchenAid ...

Pros: It toasts well.

Cons: Price. Unit didn't operate as manual stated.

Review: I bought this toaster a couple of weeks ago figuring with the KitchenAid name and a 50 dollar price tag it should be flawless...it worked about as good as a 10 dollar toaster...the unit was also defective, it's supposed to have a slow rise toast eject, ...

Pros: Re-warming feature works OK.

Cons: Doesn't toast evenly; doesn't toast consistently.

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is don't buy this toaster. There must be better ones for less money.

Review: Having tired of toasters that didn't do a very good job over the years, I decided to buy a more expensive one. Kind of figuring that 'you get what you pay for', I wasn't going to buy one under $40. While looking around, I came across this toaster at ...

Pros: Cool to touch exterior; styling (if you like modern).

Cons: Uneven toasting; takes a long time to toast.

Review: I bought this toaster at Target for about $50.00 in Jan. 2005. It had the wide slots (2), cool to the touch exterior (white). I used it a number of times. It took forever to toast regular bread - both at room temperature and from frozen. Then when ...
