Customer Review: Fully Loaded Toaster That Toasts Well & Won't Toast Your Wallet Like The Breville
Summary: 5 Stars
Having moved into a new apartment with updated appliances- I decided to put the Convection/Toaster Oven away and reclaim some counter space by using a regular toaster. I never thought buying a toaster would be complicated- but many toasters on the store shelves feel like they were made by a toy company and not an appliance manufacturer. I wanted a balance of solid construction, useful features, and most of all- evenly toasted bread for a fair price. I have a friend that owns a Breville- and it's definitely a solidly built unit- the dang thing is so heavy you could put your back out moving it to clean your counters! HA! Also, I just really feel it's price is more about marketing snob appeal, and not completely justified. I discovered this newer model KitchenAid, and while I could not find many professional reviews, I felt it had a comparible feature set to the Breville, a solid feel without being complete tank, all at a still higher, but more reasonable price. It's attractively designed, with a bit of a retro look- although a few friends that while they like it's looks- asked if it recieved FM/AM stations too.
All that aside, it does a pretty good and consistent job on toast, bagels, etc. Like some reviewers have said, it does tend to toast a bit more on the bread side facing the center. In my experience it's not too dramatic, and easily managed by dialing the setting one lower than it was. It also seems to have improved the more I've used it. The auto-lowering/raising works well and is whisper quiet. The display is easy to read, and the countdown bar a nice touch. The tones are a tad loud like some have said, but far from driving me crazy. Besides, anything that helps wake me up in the morning is NOT a bad thing. I need all the help I can get! I think the "keep warm" setting is a nice touch, but it only does so for about a minute- a bit short in my view. The "defrost" setting worked well, having defrosted some thick italian bread, and then toasting it evenly without drying the bread out.
Making the plunge on this toaster was made easy by the fact that I also got it for a fantastic price- many retailers will match prices online, and in my case, I was also able to use a 20% off coupon as well. I couldn't beat the features at that price- and so far, I'm very happy with the choice I made.
