Product Description
The KitchenAid Pro Line, two-slice toaster combines the professionalism and beauty of stainless steel with durable, die-cast metal and a stylish, pearl metallic finish. Operating it is simple: just select the shade level (a choice of nine in all), lower the bread and turn it on. When it's ready, a tone will sound and the toaster will shut off (it will also automatically shut itself off in the event of a mechanical jam). But thanks to KitchenAid's ingenuity, your toast won't get cold - the toasting cavity stays warm until you raise the lift lever. When lifting, the bread rises vertically, not in an arc, so your bread is less likely to tear. Other features include wide and long slots for thick bagels or specialty breads, a dishwasher-safe, removable crumb tray and an under-the-base cord storage wrap. The KitchenAid Pro Line series offers a complete and coordinated suite of premium countertop appliances that showcases your passion for the culinary arts. With just one glance, you'll realize there's nothing quite like this series. The stunning design artfully blends the authenticity of commercial appliances with a softness that's more inviting in home kitchen environments. Beyond its extraordinary design, this series provides an exceptional level of performance that represents the very best from KitchenAid.

Comment: After my cheap toaster of seven years quit on me I decided I wanted a nice looking high-end toaster. Specifically I was looking for a toaster I would have to manually lift up and down since it is frustrating when toast pops up and I'm not quite ready to butter it and then it becomes cold before I can get to it. Before buying this toaster I read MANY mixed reviews so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Well, it works beautifully. I always make my own whole wheat bread, which is heavy and moist so I anticipated running it through two cycles to fully toast it. First time using it, it toasted perfectly with only one cycle. It toasts evenly and fairly quickly, and I love that it stays in the toaster until I am ready to pop it up. I couldn't be happier with this toaster and it looks great on my counter. I recommend it so much that I just purchased one for my mother.

Comment: I purchased one of these heavy duty toasters from the Kitchen Aid website about a year ago and I had to exchange it right away because it would only toast one side of the bread at a time. Another pain is once you put the bread in it, and push the slide down you still have to turn a switch to turn the toaster on. I can honestly say that this toaster works just as good as any other $10.00 dollar toaster that I have bought. (I think I paid over $125.00 for it, ouch!) If you want a nice looking toaster buy it, if you want a toaster that makes great toast, shop around..

Summary: Not a good toaster - A great one! 2008-12-16
Comment: I have been a proud owner of the 2-slice pro-line toaster since 2004. It's built like a tank. It has been made with quality like the KitchenAid mixer that everyone owns. My wife and I use it almost every single day before we go to work and it has given us consistent even toasting for breads and bagles. Not only does it look sharp in our ultra-modern kitchen but it performs better than any toaster I ever owned. What more could we ask? My family recommends it highly!

Summary: real disappointment, when I thought I had made a smart investment 2008-12-04
Comment: I have had this 2-slice toaster for about 4 months and stopped using it last week after I bought a $29 Oster as a replacement. Toasting bread with this Kitchen Aid takes about three times as long as a regular toaster. The highest setting (9) takes about 4 minutes to complete, yet toasts come out a little brown but still too soft for my taste (and I like them to be soft inside, not like biscotti!) For the second cycle, though, I have to readjust the setting to about 3-4, then pull down the lever, and finally turn the On/Off knob to turn the toaster on. Too many steps for one slice of bread. All in all, each slice takes about 6-7 minutes to toast.
The toaster does look nice and is heavy, which I liked at first when I received it 4 months ago, and the signal it gives when the toasting cycle is complete is nice. But, in the end, who cares about that?? I prefer a toaster that fulfills its main function properly.

Comment: I love this toaster! It is so much better then the Cuisinart, that
I just threw out. The toast browns very even and I like the fact that it keeps the toast warm untill ready to eat. This toaster is also very heavy duty and will built.
