What Customers Are Saying
The toaster has a mix of positive and negative feedback. Customers praise its even toasting, useful features like wider slots and bagel setting, and overall quality. However, some report uneven toasting, with one side of the bread much darker, and issues with the toaster burning the bread even on low settings. There are also complaints about the loud beeping sound. While those with a positive experience are satisfied, others are disappointed by the inconsistent performance.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this toaster for the retro look and have had another kitchenaid toaster that lasted 20 years. I liked it but must've had some glitches and needed to be replaced. I did with the next model up.

Good quality
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Happy with this toaster. Wish there was a way to turn off the notification ‘beep’ when toast is done/pops up. It’s quite loud and freaks out our dog. :-) An important feature is that exterior is cool to touch.

Nice looking
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the new stylish toaster because our old one had burners that were dying. The new toaster cooks so even I’m not sure why we waited so long.
From Kitchen Aid
Multiple positive features.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Attractive & compact size & design. Easily cleaned exterior. Even browning of toast. Easy access crumb tray removal & cleaning. Only difficulty is removal of crumbs not collected in the tray.

Only BURNS Toast
Would Not RecommendI’ve owned this toaster for about 5 months now ... and it’s the WORST small appliance I’ve ever had. It only Burns toast, set on lowest (1) setting it’s on the edge of burnt, set it on 1.5 and toast is Black, set it on 4 one time and toast almost caught fire. KitchenAid needs to trash this toaster and start over, I have many many other KitchenAid appliances and accessories with NO complaints.

Love the done toasting signal beep
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice, sturdy toaster that’s toast consistently instead of the cheap ones
From Kitchen Aid
Sleek, but not so user friendly
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this for over a year now and have yet to use any setting higher than two. I’m not sure what you could possibly be toasting on the highest setting, because a plain slice of bread would definitely be burnt by that point. Other than that, it heats evenly, looks good, and the crumb tray is a nice feature.

Not as nice as I expected
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been wanting a more modern toaster to replace the current one which was in good working order - it was from the 70's. The new Kitchen Aid toaster had to be replaced after a few weeks because it wouldn't keep bread in the toasting position- the lever wouldn't stay down. Also, it doesn't shine up and stay clean looking very long . Your company did send a replacement model but not the silver color I originally purchased.

Doesn’t toast evenly
Would Not RecommendI got this toaster about a year ago and have tried multiple different settings and breads to see if I can get even one evenly browned piece of toast. It has yet to happen. I thought I’d give it some time but I continue to have issues and I’m very disappointed with this toaster. I had ordered it thinking a Kitchenaid toaster would be a quality product like their stand mixers but unfortunately it is not.

Good Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good value received. Easy to use with many feature.
From Kitchen Aid
Nice & clean
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clean lines on design look good. Easy to lean.Works great on toast and bagels. It does have a signal that goes off when the toast is done which I find a bit too loud. Can't sneak in any midnight snacks without waking someone else up.

Burns everything
Would Not RecommendI bought this toaster recently to replace a very inexpensive 4-slice toaster that I had for years. I love the way it looks. However, this toaster burns everything on the very lowest setting. Makes me wish I would have kept my other less expensive toaster. It still worked great - I was just looking to replace it with a more modern, smaller toaster. I am so disappointed. I have always counted on KitchenAid to have high-quality, reliable products. Definitely not the case with this toaster. ...
