Why doesn't the level to toast stay down. This expensive Kitchen Aid toaster is not that old?????

I ended up throwing away my Model KMTT200OB Kitchen Aid toaster after several attempts to repair it. I'm sorry you bought one of these because it seems to me to be poorly designed and constructed. If possible, I would return it.

Our toaster handle completely broke off! We ended up throwing this toaster away, too. It is a terrible toaster, and I would definitely return it for a complete refund.

I didn't change any settings, but you might try turning your toaster down so that bread does not toast faster then the cheese melts.

The Kitchen Aid toaster I bought appears to be a dufferent model. My problem was that shortly after buying the toaster, the lever would not stay down. It was in warranty and Kitchen Aid replaced it without any fuss. _ Ed

I've had mine a couple years now without a problem, but I don't use it that much. Seems like a decent toaster though.

You are right to be concerned about any modern toaster. After one that we used for 50 years finally gave up and died we got 3 new ones which were crap. This one however has lasted more than 6 months now, so we are hopeful. Good luck.

It does seem slower then most other toasters but it also depends on how dark you want the toast. There is a timer that you can watch as it progresses to your desired level which helps you know how soon your toast will pop up. I love that feature!

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

There are so many diverse comparisons of high end toaster ovens. There doesn't seem to be one without problems! Help!

nothing is on or using power until you push the level down to lower the toast, the only led that will be on at that time is if you select one of the special functions, bagel, defrost, or reheat. when the lever pops up everything is returned to off position.

This is not an issue for me. I store my toaster in a drawer when not in use so always unplug it after use. When I plug it back in, the lights come on to whatever the last setting was. It's a feature I rather like as I'm not always toasting the same sort of thing. It lets me know if I have to reset it lighter or darker before I put the whole wheat bread, bagel, whatever in the toaster.

hi, i am satisfied with the way it functions....toast evenly ....the only thing i do not like is you cannot turn off at will....once you turn the bottom dial you cannot advance in order to terminate operation.....i take my toast out and let it run until it completes ..you cannot advance dial to terminate...ed

I purchased the 4 slice toaster and it is the best toaster I have ever owned. It toasts the bread more evenly than any toaster I ever used. You have to figure where the correct setting is and toast away. I hope this helps in your decision.

My Toaster quit working after three years. I wanted another one and couldn't get one. I'm in a condo and very little counter space.

Three years is good. I am thinking of buying this toaster, for that reason. I want to know how to cash in on the warranty if I need to, and it looks like I wil need to. Do I have to send it back to amazon and pay shipping or what? Can someody from amazon help me with this ?Thnaks

I have never had any problems with my toaster in over the year of use. You should try Breville costomer service.

It may not be working right. My egg cooker doesn't work anymore. Just the toaster side. And it doesn't work that great anymore either
