KitchenAid KTT251 Ultra Power 2-Slice Toaster, White




Features:

  • Sleek toaster has two heating systems for consistent toasting
  • Touch-pad heat controls, fully adjustable temperature settings
  • Extra-long, extra-wide slot holds two slices
  • Slot is 11 by 2 inches


Editorial Review:

With microwave-type controls on this wide-slot toaster, you can be sure of getting even toasting every time. In addition to the fully adjustable temperature control dial, there are four touch-pad buttons that allow you to thaw, reheat, stop the toasting cycle, and evenly brown even the thickest bagel. The single slot measures a hefty 11 inches by 2 inches--once that bagel is perfectly toasted, you won't have any trouble pulling it out of this toaster. For smaller breads and pastries, there's an extra-lift lever to prevent burned fingers. The exterior wipes clean easily--it's very smooth and sleek--and a removable crumb tray slides out easily. This is an ideal companion for one- or two-person households or families that don't mind taking turns at the toaster. --Jill Lightner

More like a "KitchenCurse" than a KitchenAid.:

The "light/dark" knob fell off soon after we started using it and we never could get it fixed right.
We used it for years on a single setting, since we couldn't replace the knob. We don't toast stuff much so it took us a long time to get fed up with this piece of junk, but when we did we bought a toaster oven and threw this thing out.

Back to the drawing board Kitchen-Aid:

I have the yellow version which goes perfectly in my new beach house kitchen. However, I will have to return the toaster again--this will be my second time for the same reason. The reset button gets stuck and flashes like a VCR. Once the reset gets stuck (which is every other time), the only way I can get the toast to come up is to unplug the toaster. When it does work, it toasts perfectly, but I don't think I can accept such defects in such an expensive two-slice toaster.

...:

This is the one Kitchen Aid product that could plummet them into bankruptcy. The plastic light-dark control knob broke-off after only 2 uses. The so-called defrost feature is a joke and couldn't pre-thaw a slice of rye bread let alone toast it. Bagels won't fit into the wire holder contraption thingie. The bagel button must control the garage door because it certainly has no visible effect on anything that's inside the toaster (if that's what they're calling it these days). It has 4 red pilot lights that... more info
