This was a great toaster, until it starting turning itself on. After popping up the toast a few minutes later the heating elements will come back on. KitchenAid has a recall on their proline series with the same problem but there is no recall on this model, YET. Don't Buy I just want some toast! Okay this toaster is a serious let down for me... this is another one of KitchenAids appliances that I have had a problem with, I buy direct from KitchenAid to avoid problems and what do a get a toaster that does not even make the same kind twice, I could of bought a $10 toaster at my pharmacy and got the same results. With all the sensors and buttons on this toaster you think it would make decent and consistant toast but I find myself always having to fool around with the buttons! #2 setting should not give me burnt toast! The only good thing about this toaster is the frozen setting - I have had excelent luck with that! KitchenAid KTT570WH 4-Slice Digital Toaster with Bagel, Warm, and Frozen Functions works great, simple and easy to use. May want to RTFM to get the most out of this new toaster. Love it so far. Just angry that Macys did not have it on their shelf so I had to order it on Amazon. We like to buy the rounds of soure doe bread and the slices are to long for a normal toster but they get nice and toasty with this toaster. this toaster is a little spendy but worth every penny! F N A Buba KitchenAid KTT570ER 4-Slice Digital Toaster This is avery attractive and functional product that performs nicely as advertisied. Although, I used the free and slowest shipping option, the product arrived a week eralier than Amazon estimated it would. Good deal. Glenn Used for 6 years I've had this toaster for four years now. It just started going down hill recently. -It started toasting too darkly on the settings I had consistently used for years. -The digital setting knob no longer works, it is stuck on 4. -It only shuts off when manually popped up. I have to agree with other reviews that said it doesn't toast very even. I've noticed this in my four years of use. So if your willing to pay the price for it to last 4 years get it. If not, try another with better reviews. Update 7-05-07 Shortly after writing the previous review and after leaving the toaster unplugged on the counter for a couple weeks, I plugged it in to find that it had started working correctly again. However, now I can say it has finally kicked the bucket. The last time I pushed down some toast it started making a ticking sound and then smoke started coming out of it. The smoke smelled like an electrical fire. I think it had a good run though, after all is said and done, I did get 6 years of use out of it. | |
