KitchenAid 2-Slice Metal Toaster Gloss Cinnamon KMTT200GC Display Model

"Santa" brought us this toaster for Christmas, along with specialty muffins. He did his research prior to shipment at several sites including Consumer Research, where it was rated a best buy. The first week we toasted the muffins and bagels, it did a great job. It was great not to fight with items stuck in slots that are too narrow for thick items.
However, no one mentioned that the toaster slots are not long enough for many brands of bread, including Arnold, Pepperidge Farm and others. This is not a measurement that I thought about since even our real old toaster from 1970 fits those brands. Now we are stuck cutting off the crusts to make the bread fit into the slots of an rather expensive toaster. arrg.

The toaster is nice,a little larger than expected. Also it needs a three prong plug in which was not noted in description.

Just recently moved back to the states from Germany and had to replace all my household appliances. I decided to go in a sporty red to spice up my otherwise boring looking kitchen. When the toaster arrived I first noticed that I ordered it the wrong color. Didn't pay attention that this toaster was not red but rather cinnamon gloss. To be honest - The cinammon gloss is a much nicer and deeper red than my other appliances and I wish I had bought all of them in cinnamon color. Anyway - clearly my fault. And with the toaster sitting in a darker corner it's not even that noticable.
The Bagel setting is great. For once I have bagels only toasted on the inside like it's supposed to be. No more dealing with a burned crust. Fabulous.
As described in the other reviews it does have a three prong plug which doesn't bother me much. I live in a brand new renovated house which fortunately is equipped with plenty of matching plugs.
Also I am definitely happy with the toasting...Read more
