very disapointed
Toasted very unevenly. Couldn't raise the toast high enough to remove easily. Couldn't keep starting the day being so annoyed- replaced it within two weeks. No "Easy Lift" As a toaster it works fine; particularly for the long slices of bread from a round home baked loaf. The advertised "Easy Lift" feature feature, however, was very disappointing. We envisioned a quiet gentle lift of the toaster bar - instead, once the toast is finished it rises with a "Clang" loud enough to wake the dead, or at least people sleeping nearby. I like Kitchenaid I am impressed with how well Kitchenaid stands behind their product. At first I was put off by some of the negative reviews. I have never had a kitchenaid appliance fail. My coffee maker is the only counter top appliance that isn't Kitchenaid. Over the years, I have traded up, given the hand-me-down to my daughter, and they are all still going strong. Coffee Maker has been replaced twice. I will always try Kitchenaid first. We owned the two slice model and we were very happy with that. But, since I make bread, usually in a half dome shape, my husband said, "Please, get a toaster that will accomodate longer slices." "Sure!" I'll go shopping. I have shopped and bought many toasters over the last forty years. This one is it. The bagel setting does a great job on bagels and it is also great for "Warming your buns!" Um, hamburger, hotdog, etc. toast the inside slightly. Splurge, buy the bigger model, its more versitle, not much bigger and I like the controls on the front. KTT5700B 4 slice Digital toaster We took delivery of our toaster several weeks ago. It seems to be operating as described. Actually, for us it does not show the negatives of some of the blogs we had read. We have tried bagels, frozen waffles, and regular toast 2 and 4 slices. All worked well. The digital settings seem consistant and non varying. We like the AC cord storage feature on the bottom of the toaster. Assuming, over time, it has durability, we would purchase again. Okay for a while We had this toaster for 2 years before the lever stopped working. It toasted okay, evenly most of the time, sometimes burning a little or not toasting enough. Nice looking, good shape taking up little space. Looking for a new toaster now - no consistent reviews on any brand. | |
