Pros: Extra wide slots, power cord storage, a warm button, and removable crumb tray.
Cons: None
Summary: For a few months now I have been out in several stores checking and looking at several types and prices of toasters. The Oster 4 slice toaster that I have had for a few years now has not been working very well. It only browns on one side of the bread and ... read more

Pros: High-luster polycarbonate coating, wide slots, bagel feature, warming feature, crumb tray, slow rise, durable.
Cons: None

Pros: Form and function both a pleasure, from simple use and cleaning to perfect bagel making.
Cons: Very little to complain about - tough to get out small pieces, maybe, but typical.
Summary: Scary, all the reviews seem to be from 2004-5. Maybe that means they are still working? :-)This is a great toaster, period. Usually, every 5 years or so, as the mechanism or elements died on my drugstore or department store same-old (usually ... read more

Pros: Attractive, easy to clean, wide slots, room to store cord
Cons: Metal piece on top gets dirty easily
Summary: I purchased this toaster for my husband as a house-warming present when we were dating in 2004. Since then, it has moved twice with us and still works and well as the day I bought it. The toaster is compact (10 inches long, 8 inches ... read more

Pros: Toasts evenly, bagels come out perfectly done
Cons: Sometimes frozen breads require extra toasting, warming feature ineffective
Summary: I spent years in graduate school making do with a five-dollar toaster. After moving into my first home, I decided it was definitely worth the splurge to upgrade to a toaster worthy of my homemade breads. I was given a KitchenAid 2-Slice Toaster as a ... read more

Pros: Re-warming feature works OK.
Cons: Doesn't toast evenly; doesn't toast consistently.
Summary: Having tired of toasters that didn't do a very good job over the years, I decided to buy a more expensive one. Kind of figuring that 'you get what you pay for', I wasn't going to buy one under $40. While looking around, I came across this toaster at ... read more

Pros: Warming setting, easy clean up
Cons: Occasionally cooks uneven
Summary: Updated April 26, 2006 My husband and I are big fans of Kitchen Aid products, especially hand held utensils, so I was excited to get this toaster for Christmas. I know, a toaster, BUT it was on my list, "a kitchen aid toaster". My husband ... read more

Pros: Solid/heavy, toasts evenly, great bagel feature, warmer nice, crumb tray included.
Cons: $50 price tag, but worth it.
Summary: As suggested, I'm adding a few more details to my original review. The bagel feature on this toaster allows you to toast only the cut (inside) side of the bagel without toasting the outside. The slots easily accommodate large bagels. The ... read more

Pros: It works fairly well and is easy to use. Nice clean look. Wide slots.
Cons: Does not always toast evenly. A little over priced.
Summary: I had been on the search for the 'perfect' toaster for several months. I had bought and returned two different toasters before purchasing the KitchenAid. I had been through the 'cheap' toasters that just didn't work and was in hopes the KitchenAid ... read more

Pros: It looks nice and has wide slots for bagels
Cons: Stopped working after two months and now burns everything.
Summary: Do NOT waste your money on an expensive toaster. This one stopped working properly after two months. Now, no matter what the dial setting, it burns everything. If I am going to throw out toasters ever 6 months, I'd rather it be a cheaper one. This one

Pros: Bagels came out well toasted one side, and the other side was warm and soft.
Cons: Only fair to good on sour dough, good on whole wheat.
Summary: I read the reviews before selecting this toaster. The toasted bagelswere great, perfect. The toast (sourdough) is only fair, whole wheat was good, not excellent but good. I am not sure how white bread would work, I do not eat white bread.It

Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Looks aren't everything, it toasts unevenly on either side.
Summary: I bought this toaster because I assumed that the Kitchen-Aid brand would work flawlessly, especially for the price you pay... It doesn't toast the same on both sides, it always seems to toast the outer sides twice as much as the inner sides. Also,

Pros: Attractive design, compact, cool to the touch.
Cons: Poorly designed sliding shelf, not durable, uneven toasting
Summary: I bought this toaster to replace my cheap $10 Toastmaster, which held up for more than 10 years [it was still working when I tossed it in favor of this name-brand toaster]. The sliding shelf that holds the bread in place is made of a very thin, soft and

Pros: Reliable, even toasting. Sturdy plastic.
Cons: Will over toast if you push down again on same setting.
Summary: My experience has been favorable so far.I bought because of the heavy duty plastic material and the extra buttons. Adjust according to type of bread. White toasts faster so use a lower setting. Love the bagel and warming buttons. The slide out crumb tray

Pros: Cool to touch exterior; styling (if you like modern).
Cons: Uneven toasting; takes a long time to toast.
Summary: I bought this toaster at Target for about $50.00 in Jan. 2005. It had the wide slots (2), cool to the touch exterior (white). I used it a number of times. It took forever to toast regular bread - both at room temperature and from frozen. Then when

Pros: Can get in different colors.
Cons: Some colors are hard to find in-store.
Summary: I bought this toaster because I think the name says it all. It toasts bread well. The bagel feature is amazing. The warm feature is okay. Have been using this toaster for about a year now and love it. So happy I threw away my last $10.00 toaster.

Cons: Price. Unit didn't operate as manual stated.
Summary: I bought this toaster a couple of weeks ago figuring with the KitchenAid name and a 50 dollar price tag it should be flawless...it worked about as good as a 10 dollar toaster...the unit was also defective, it's supposed to have a slow rise toast eject,

Pros: It's a Kitchen Aid - meant to last
Cons: The ones I tried were all defective.
Summary: I have always heard great things about Kitchen Aid and I currently own a couple of their products. It has always been my understanding that their products are made to last for years to come. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see if my KTT340 would
