KitchenAid KTT251 Ultra Power 2-Slice Toaster, White

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
