KitchenAid2-Slice Toaster with Manual Lift Lever - KMT2115

Works great, sturdy weight and nice look. A little pricey though.

Very n ice quality and works very good highly recommended

I have only had one Kitchen Aide in my life that was just ok. Everything else including my new toaster is amazing. The color hasn't got that Sparkly Candy Apple Color. It is called Empire Red. It is fine, but I did think it would be more Candy Apple. Even my car is. But other than that, let me tell you about my new one. It is perfect in size, slightly larger than my old one. I don't worry about burnt fingers with the lift. I love the lift. It has a really nice size crumb catcher with the kitchen aide logo on it, There are 5 speeds and they toast evenly on all. The holder inside inside cooks evenly on both sides and I tested them out for that reason, just don't use sticky stuff on the bread (like a dirty knife and then put it in and maybe that will help with toasting. I don't plan on having to watch through the openning. The cord is fairly short, but they all are that way today. Other than shade of color, I love my toaster and I highly recommend it.

It does toast the toast. Make sure there are no bubble holes in your bread though. Those seem to burn. Also if you are making more than 2 pieces turn down the setting for the second set of 2. Once it's heated up it seems to keep the same setting for the second set and burns it.

UPDATE: After a few uses, the "pop up" on this new toaster stopped working. I returned it- just another flimsy toaster. I didn't want to spend so much, but I ended up purchasing a Breville which seems to be of a much higher quality. Hopefully it performs. Bonus- it's easy to turn down or mute the beep! ORIGINAL REVIEW: After having to trash my not-so-old $25 toaster, I perused what’s available here and got high reviews. I settled on this one, still basic but seemed to be a little better quality than the cheapest ones. So far it’s fine, except for one thing. WHY do we need a beep? And a kind of loud beep too. I have enough things in my house that beep already. Just the sound of the toast popping up works just fine. I was surprised because nowhere in the instructions does it mention any beeping. I saw the posts where you can take out the beeper, but I don’t really wanna mess with something that has the potential to catch on fire. So hopefully this will last longer than the last one, but I wish it didn’t have that dumb beep.

I love this beautiful and great working toaster. It was one of my birthday presents from my son. It's a nice upgrade from my other name brand toaster , which was not nearly as pretty and you had to depress the start button several times. This does not have those issues. Plus, it has a bagel setting and a 'cancel ' button also. It looks great on the counter!

The toast quality is really good with this. It does take longer to toast bread compared to my old Oster brand but the toast tastes better and more even.

Great Brand! Endurance..... last Kitchen Aid toaster lasted 26 years!
