Hi, has anyone experienced the toaster taking really long to toast bread? I need to run it 3 times on medium to toast.

We bought a different toasterbecause it took too long to toast and also the other side didn't toast very well as the up side did

I run it on high to toast but it still takes longer than smaller toaster ovens or toasters will take. I chalk it up to the size and the amount of metal that sucks up heat. However the upside is that it does better for actual baking etc with the extra room and the metal evens out the heating.

Yup! They all do. But at least the. Toast doesn't burn! And it does toast evenly.

I have found that toasting the bread in a dry frying pan over medium low heat works very well. I "toast" each side until I see steam rising from the bread, then transfer it to a wire rack and proceed with whatever I'm making. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem with my Breadman TR875. I'm about ready to try my luck with the Dough cycle and completing the loaves in the oven. The bread tastes fine, has great texture, but the gaping holes are just not very pretty and makes it impossible to make sandwiches from the center of the loaf.

Try pushing it down all the way and holding it atleast 5 seconds. if that doesnt work look up toaster repair.

I would say look for a dedicated commercial toaster. This takes roughly 2 mins per cycle. If it was used in a small mom and pops restaurant I think it wouldn't last as long you'd want with the constant use. Look for a commercial toaster with a moving grate.

I don't have a problem with my breadmaker at all. After I'm done making bread I unplug it let it cool and clean it. It works like it should everytime.

I've had that happen as well (once) and I'm not sure why. The last loaf I made though was perfect - maybe add 3-4 minutes onto the cooking time (??)

yes, using grill mode but it takes more time than toaster. Kinda like grill on an open fire...

my name is Dale and I have the same problem. There is nothing you can do but send the toaster back, which I intend to do when I find out where to send it to. My toster is less then 3 months old.and it isnt working right

I got mine 2011 still working, mind I don't make toast every day. Just a little slow compared to old toaster that is probably because they made the slots wider so the coils are further away from the toast.

No, it does not make toast fast. It takes a couple of minutes to toast bread. However, it's the best toaster for overall browness that we have purchased.

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.

I would not suggest you buy this..mine worked for about 6 weeks and is now a 2 slice toaster...one set only toasts one side of the bread..the working side is not very fast...

I have had terrible results trying to toast bread. No matter what setting, the bread is toasted uneven. I have uploaded photos in my review that show the uneven toasting results.

I have been making bread with mine since day one! I haven't had any problems with it and even let my bread sit and rise in the bowl and then turn it on low to knead the bread! I have used it mostly for bread and stiff dough and as long as you keep it on low and don't get in a hurry....it doesn't even heat up? I have made dough for pretzels, regulat white bread, pizza dough, and even wheat bread "which seems to get the thickest and stalls it a little more, but has been doing just fine for me! Just don't make the mistake that I did on my first one and try to do butter and walk away for a min or two because the butter will turn out of nowhere and splash all of the cream or whey out "even with a towel over it" and if it gets under the unit...it will suck up into the fan which is right under neath the unit about a 1/4 of an inch from the work surface and will suck up into the motor and burn up or short out the unit! But other than that...I have made about 50 loaves of every kind of bread you can make in the last 3 or 4 weeks and use it daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and I have no problem! Yes a cover and maybe a little more power would be nice, but I can make 2 BIG loafs of any kind of bread in it and I have had no problems, just do the dough on low to #2 until it gets thick and turn it down to low, let it rise and put it back on low for 5 mins to knead the bread!

Make sure that you do not have it set on "BROIL" instead of "TOAST." Look at your instruction book if you still have it. It sounds as though it is broiling. Also, be sure to follow the toasting process, as to how well done you want the toast.
