I love this kick-a** toaster!! Looks beautiful on the counter and works like a dream. I especially like the ‘keep warm’ feature. So nice to know if I miss it when the toast is done, it will still be warm. My husband likes the ‘a little longer’ button so if the toast is lighter than he likes, he just sends it down for a little more. I have also used the frozen button and the toast was perfectly toasted.  Read Less

Obviously at this price you have to really want this toaster. It is a gorgeous device sitting on the kitchen counter, it has lots of nice features, operation is very easy, the slots are wide and long enough for all my needs, and of course it makes very good toasted bread, bagels, etc. I guess I shouldn't say of course, as other expensive toasters I've tried, including early versions of this one, did not make very even browning. So I'm happy with it.Now, is it worth the money??? You gotta want the look of this thing. Before getting this new toaster, I had the KitchenAid KMT223 for several years. It is exactly the same device functionally, and while the look is different, to me it still looks like the higher end device that it is . And it makes toast, etc, every bit as good. And all at 1/3rd the price. It's still not a cheap toaster, but if money is an issue, that's a great alternative.  Read Less
