Does not toast even, not even close. Waste of my time!
Pros: Looks nice, long slots for toasting large slices of bread
Cons: It does NOT toast very well at all.
The Bottom Line: Useless, if it can not do the job it was designed for, what good is it?
Review: I had been eying this toaster for a while when I walked through this one store we always go into. I like this toaster because it looked nice, it had a bagel feature, a warm feature, and I really liked the idea that you could toast large (long) pieces of...

Pros: Looks Great, has wide slots and can fit bread machine bread into a slot.
Cons: Can't toast evenly which defeats the pros of this product. Spring action too strong.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: We bought one of these at Bed&Bath and brought it home. Our last toaster lasted almost 20 years and worked flawlessly till its demise. This one however refused to toast bread evenly. Whether there is a problem with the elements, some circuit or the... Read Full Review by offthegrid, Nov 12, 2007

Pros: Easy bagel setting. Easy to read digital display. Super-easy cleaning of crumb tray.
Cons: Pricey, although the prices have dropped since we purchased it 3 years ago.
The Bottom Line: If you can swing the cost, it is well worth it. Getting married/committed/etc? A definite choice for your gift registry!
Review: Okay, I'll confess: when my husband came home with the new toaster three years ago, I almost ended a 25 year marriage right then and there. A toaster that cost just under $100????"It's just TOAST!"I cried. I was so wrong. First of all, it makes... Read Full Review by suzie-shopper, Apr 15, 2006
Pros: Color
Cons: Everything else
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I received my toaster a year ago Christmas. In fact, I received two! This is the worst toaster I have ever have, except for the color. The slots aren't really big enough for 4 slices, and it doesn't matter since it takes at least two cycles to toast... Read Full Review by sfquiet, Feb 12, 2006
Pros: None
Cons: Overpriced, poor quality, plasticky, doesn't work well.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: We have had this Kitchen Aid (blue) toaster for 2 years and it's got to be the worst. Toast is always burned on the edges, underdone at the middle. Not always been this way, but 9 times out of 10, we're cutting off the edges and eating the middle... Read Full Review by timaccer, Feb 2, 2006
Pros: Good for toasting bagels
Cons: Poor performance overall. Defective after 2 weeks
The Bottom Line: null
Review: Due to a recent poor experience with a KA blender, we made sure that we bought this from a store with a liberal return policy— FORTUNATELY! It does do bagels very well, but that's about it. The racks didn't close together enough to keep sliced... Read Full Review by mpittscampbell, Jun 19, 2005
Pros: Best of the toasters in the price range
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: null
Review: Very well designed. There are no projections in the toasting chamber so all crumbs fall into the crumb tray. Has a cool touch exterior. Toasts bagels and breads perfectly, but you have to study the type of bread i.e. light bread or thin slices a lower... Read Full Review by bettyray, Nov 30, 2004
Pros: Consistent results, heavy duty construction, deep slots, fast
Cons: Pop-up is a bit loud, no extra lift feature for small pieces of bread
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this toaster to anyone looking for the best combination of quality, price and performance.
Review: I recently purchased this model after doing my own consumer testing of several different (in the same price range) models: Cuisinart, T-Fal, Oster, and Krups. I toasted single pieces, full loads, bagels, different bread types. I tested each feature on... Read Full Review by shmopsi, Nov 1, 2004
Style with mediocre performance
Pros: Looks good, toasts bagels well
Cons: Inconsistent toasting, noisy, doesn't eject well
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I gave up my perfectly functional two-slice relic from the 70s because I wanted a four-slice model. I started with a $300 Dualit that nearly caught my kitchen on fire when the heating element timer didn't disengage during a test run. Next, I... Read Full Review by inamorato, Jun 25, 2004
Pros: Style, Color Choices, Heavy Duty Cord, Defrost Setting, Bagel Setting
Cons: Burns Toast on the lowest settings
The Bottom Line: null
Review: I bought this toaster for the KitchenAid quality and the color (cobalt blue). I also bought a black one for my mother. She had trouble with the toast being toasted to dark, almost burnt, on the lowest settings. I returned hers and exchanged it for... Read Full Review by brian_howes, Jun 16, 2004
LOOKS LIKE A PORSCHE BUT THE INSIDE IS LIKE A YUGO
Pros: Loved the look
Cons: Too high priced. Made with cheap parts. Didn't toast evenly when it did work.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: Made in China and you can tell. Lever won't lock down anymore. My husband and I have only used it about 90 times in the past 2 years we have had it. Kitchen aid said that since the 1 year warranty was up they couldn't do anything. I really wished it... Read Full Review by susanmccauley, Jan 27, 2004
A toaster is a toaster is a toaster...I think
Pros: Good looks and that's about it.
Cons: Over-priced, uneven browning.
The Bottom Line: null
Review: It's a good looking toaster and that's about it. It doesn't brown four slices of bread evenly. You have to use it (mine) like a two slice toaster. Bagels come out alright, haven't tried to toast two whole bagels yet. I'm saving that thrill ride for... Read Full Review by effe, Jan 17, 2004
If you're interested in conserving energy I would not recommend this toaster.
Pros: Heating elements look very evenly lit.
Cons: Very wasteful of energy
The Bottom Line: null
Review: When you want to toast one or two slices of bread all of the heating elements are turned on. This is not true with all the other four-slice toaster I've tested. KitchenAid, a company I like very much and use many appliances made by them, should go back... Read Full Review by eldoni, Dec 2, 2003
Pros: Stylish design, toasting options
Cons: not toasted evenly on both sides and heavy power cord
The Bottom Line: This toaster is good quality product and performs well.
Review: I just recently purchased a Kitchen Aid KTT570 Toaster. This is the toaster that has 2 long slots that can accommodate up to 4 slices of toast, etc. I purchased this toaster based on the reputation of Kitchen Aid products as well as their styling...

A long time ago in a nicely toasted galaxy.....
Pros: Stylish, extremely functional, high quality, duh its a kitchenaid!
Cons: Larger than cheapo toasters.....um...it doesn't cook eggs?
The Bottom Line: This toaster is easy to use, great in its job, and is very attractive. It will make your life easier. Shouldn't that be the ultimate goal of any appliance?
Review: Somewhere along the line of 20th century american culture we americans were tricked by appliance makers. Yes that is right we were tricked into thinking that if an appliance is dirt cheap and is semi-functional then that is the appliance for us. Quality... Read Full Review by zlmajors, Mar 5, 2003

Review: While window shopping in one of our more upscale china and crystal shops I wandered into their kitchen appliance section. There on the shelf were some very nice looking toasters. Then I remembered the toast launcher/incineration machine sitting on my... Read Full Review by satie37, Feb 2, 2003
