Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 1500-Watt 4-Slice ToastersCustomer Review: About those blue lights Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very happy with this toaster; I chose it for its features and its looks. All the controls, crumb trays included, are on the front, making it super easy to use. I like the rotating "start toasting" levers, which leave no openings like the vertical slots on most toasters. I also like the looks of the integrated warming tray on top. Krups is the only toaster to integrate this feature into an attractive grille that remains in place, so there is nothing to store.
Now, about those blue lights. I was perplexed. I followed the instructions in the manual: first press the bagel or defrost button, then depress the "start toasting" lever. No blue light; no indication at all that these functions worked. So, I called Krups and talked to a very friendly and helpful customer service lady. She said you have to depress the lever first, then push the button. Whaddya know! It works. So, don't follow the manual's instructions. I did suggest they change their manual.
I'd like to comment that the defrost buttons work as expected (which is very nice; now my frozen waffles don't get burned outside when they are done inside), but if you want the outside of your bagels toasted at all, you will need to make this a two-step process, because the bagel setting makes it so that only the inside of the bagel toasts. So, use this setting to toast your bagel very lightly, then use the regular setting to again toast very lightly, and your bagel will be perfect.
It all works great and looks great. I'm very happy.
Description of Krups 1500-Watt 4-Slice ToastersThe Krups 4-slice toaster has 1500 watts of power and two independent sets of controls. Each chamber is designed to quickly brown the surface of the bread and retain the soft texture within. The integrated warming tray is easy to clean, removable and dishwasher safe. It quickly warms breads, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods without drying them out. The 8- setting browning selector accommodates all toasting preferences accurately and consistently at all levels. The 3- position metal control lever turns right to toast and left to raise the bread for easy one- handed removal. Bagel function toasts bagels from the cut side while warming the crust while the defrost function warms frozen bread through then toasts. The stop eject button halts the toasting cycle at the touch of a button. Comes with 1-year warranty.
