Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KMTT200OB 2-Slice Metal Toaster, Onyx Black and Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Not Worth The Money
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading all the reviews I decided to purchase this toaster. The problem I had with it was once I pressed the lever down it would not stay down longer than 37 seconds before it would pop up again. I had to push it down 3 times to get it toasted. Not sure if this toaster was defective but it should not take 3 cycles to get the bread toasted. The heating elements are too far away to toast regular bread...it looked liked the inside heating element was hotter than the other & therefore the bread on one side was darker than the other. The wide slots are better for toasting bagels than regular bread. I returned it & purchased a cheaper toater but have the same problem with the heating elements & one side being darker than the other. At least with the new one the lever stays down longer. Looks like they're all made that way to accomodate bagels.Customer Review: Toaster Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
All I wanted was a toaster that would do it's job well. I had been through toasters and toaster ovens that would only toast one side of the bread, needed more than one cycle, burn bagels, etc. etc. After some research, I decided to try out this Kitchenaid model and I'm glad I did.
I'm a frequent bagel eater and I find the bagel function to be very handy. It perfectly toasts the cut side of the bagel while warming the other side, which leaves the bagel still perfectly chewy.
The toasting levels are very easy to adjust, just turn the knob, and you have perfect, evenly browned toast. Cleanup is a breeze. Plus, it comes in a variety of colors to suit pretty much everyone out there.
No frills, nothing fancy schmancy....it's just a toaster that does it's job well.
Customer Review: What's missing?
Summary: 3 Stars
The toaster works well enough, consistent with other reviews that influenced my purchase. Shortcomings? An "ejection" button, which on my old Cuisinart allowed me to pop my toast manually, and the "lift high" feature that raised small pieces of toast -- my husband liked this feature on the old Cuisinart. I like my toast very dry. On the Kitchen Aid, I toast twice, the setting dependent on the freshness (i.e., moisture) of the bread. With the Cuisinart ejection button feature, I conveniently popped the toast at will. My husband likes to toast last night's biscuits. On the Kitchen Aid, he has to 1) reach into the toaster or 2) use a fork, to extract the biscuit.Customer Review: Toasty warm toaster. Yum. Mom loves it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought mom a plastic Oster toaster five years ago. Microprocessor controlled, lcd readout. A big deal. For some reason, after five years, the plastic started to melt around the opening on top. Junk. Researched the Internet for the "Best Toaster". This came up. Got it. It is. That's all you need to know. I got it for twenty dollars less a week ago. Now it's going for about $70. Mom loves the SIMPLE click dial on the thing, and the fact that it WORKS! For some reason, toasters, invented about a hundred years ago, are generally lousy. Can we all say, "C-H-I-N-A" ? Like the guy in the Matrix says, This is "THE ONE".Customer Review: Where is technology when it comes to toast and bagels?
Summary: 4 Stars
Where is the technology so that we have something close to perfect toast and bagels (T&B) every time regardless of our different views of that perfection? This is a good toaster, not a great one. After reviewing toasters all over the place this one seemed close to being "The Answer". But it isn't. It has, as we say, a big footprint. It is simply big and takes a lot of room on a small counter. It is not consistent in making T&B. While it is the best toaster I ever owned, that is no great complement. Surely there is a professor or a student at one of the tech universities or a manufacturer who could "git 'er done".
