The warming slider has no detente to keep it from sliding in and keeping the toast from popping up.

Received as expected on time. Packaged very good. Toaster does have wide slots to fit a bagel (cut in half of course). User friendly, however I did need to read the manual for proper use. The auto down does sometimes tend not to sense thin cut bread slices, but there is a solution in the manual to lower it. It seems a bit slower than my old toaster, but acceptable. Took a few times to adjust to the settings for our preference. The settings to toast a bit more and keep warm are very handy. It looks good - easy to wipe off - haven't noticed any fingerprints really. The crumb tray is easily removed to clean. The wrap around cord is very good to keep a neat look. It is heavy - weighs 17 lbs... so it takes two hands to move it, however on the other hand, it doesn't budge when in use. My last toaster, a chrome Dualit, lasted 17 years without a hitch. The only reason I did not replace it with the same is that it does not have wide slots and bagels or English muffins would get stuck. I just mailed in the 5 year warranty on this model which is much longer than any other on the market and it does have a guarantee for replacement for mechanical failure. It is expensive - I think the "new look" of this  KitchenAid product line is one reason... I just hope it lasts as long as my last toaster and then it will be worth the money!
I'm giving it a rating of 4 so far... because it is slower than I am use to.

I really like this toaster. You can lift up on the handle and the toast is easy to get a hold of. Also you can push a button and the toast pops up right away. The cosmetics are good but the mechanical is great.

Large but really nice toaster. It can handle think sliced of bread and beagles. It's not a simple string load like cheaper toasters. It actually has built in motors that smoothly pull the bread into the toaster and slowly rise them out of toaster. Really nice product and stainless steel looks good.

My only complaint about this toaster is that it doesn't have a function that helps you get the toast out, which my previous toaster did that I found was very helpful. With that one exception, I am otherwise very pleased.

Great simple toaster with settings for bagels, frozen bagels, and frozen bread.

Really nice toaster but takes a little to long to toast.  About 4 minutes or longer on med. setting.  Goes real nice with the matching coffee maker.
Looking forward to using it when my totally new kitchen is finished.

I really like this toaster.  Lots of different settings, and toasts nicely.  Easy to clean crumb tray.  This cord is located in an unusual place but minor inconvenience.  Would purchase again.

Great toaster. It's a bit too shiny for my taste but it does the job and a nice addition to my kitchen.

Good toaster.  Does what you want it to do.  Handles all sorts of bread and muffins.  Bagel setting is great as it doesn't overcook the precooked side.  Our previous unit worked for 15 years so we stayed with same make and model.

This is nice toaster. I bought it to replace my 25 year old Delonghi toaster that finally stopped working. It is not as high quality as the Delonghi but it's not as cheaply made as most new toasters. I tried a couple of cheaper brands and got what I paid for before I settled on this one. I am glad I bought it. Red is a happy color.

Really good looking unit. Works quietly. Easy to read display. Easy to use.
If it only made toast.
My usual toast is two pieces of whole wheat bread toasted to their darkest level. What I get is the top half of the bread toasted medium. So it has trained me to toast the first side at a medium setting. Then flip the bread and toast again. Works OK. Eventually.
Ain't technology wonderful.

Any toaster would be an upgrade from my previous one - a 30 year old 2 slicer that toasted unevenly and had such narrow slots that even a half English muffin would get stuck. And this toaster definitely predates the popularity of bagels. Id never dare to put one in my old toaster.  Not a problem anymore!

This is a really nice looking toaster  that works great too. I appreciate the defrost feature the most,
and that the browning is so  easily controlled.

My first instinct was that this toaster is huge. I am used to a small 2 slicer but it does seem a bit bigger than the average 4 slicer.

The one thing I disliked about this is that the company found it necessary to put little pictures on the toaster showing how the bread goes in. Is this really necessary? If someone cant figure out how to put bread in a slot they could have shown this in the manual rather than marring the otherwise lovely appearance of the toaster.

I do love this toaster- it is a huge improvement. The only problem is it makes the appliances it sits next to look old and shabby.

Very pretty. Have wanted a 4 slice toaster for quite awhile, and now I have it. Toasts nicely and evenly. So far, so good, one month into using it.

This is a nice toaster and it does what it is supposed to -- toast bread. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough, but I haven't noticed a large difference between what this toaster does and other toasters I have owned in the past.
