Kitchen Aid’s KMT2116CU 2-slice toaster, in contour silver, features simple, programmable, start-to-finish toasting. The extra-wide slots will accept the thickest bagels, breads, or pastries and the extra-deep, steel toasting cavity ensures even browning. The racks automatically adjust the slot width for thick or thin slices, keeping food upright for even toasting. Selecting the bagel toasting function reduces the power on one side of the heating elements by 50% to produce a better toasted bagel. With the defrost button, frozen pastries can be toasted to perfection in minutes. The keep warm mode keeps bread warm for up to 3 minutes after toasting. The peek and see function allows you to check on your food without stopping the toasting process. When your food is ready, the high lift lever makes it easy to get it out of the toaster. The reheat setting quickly reheats toasted food in under a minute. Plus, the adjustable 7-shade setting ensures your food will pop up just the way you like it.

It’s a wonderful toaster we love it. It has a alarm that beeps to let you know your toast is up. Nice quality and I’ve always been a fan of Kitchenaid. My last one was a Kitchenaid and it lasted 13 years and still worked just the handle fell off the cleaning tray and the push down. Buy one!

I bought the KitchenAid toaster last month. Compared to other toasters costing a lot less this is worth spending the extra money. The toaster toast things to perfection, no burning smells, easy to use.

Takes one use to warm up so that the higher levels work properly, but otherwise a great addition to our kitchen. Removable crumb tray is also a great feature.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is definitely the best toaster we have owned in almost 50 years of marriage. It toasts evenly and quickly and has all the features one would possibly want.

so far so good – just wanted a reliable toaster that wouldn’t break down after a few months – like in the old days. this one is heavy, solid, reliable and minimal bells and whistles – so far feels like a long-term keeper – like the one grandma has had for for 40 years! hoping for at least 10 years cause you know – nothing’s made like it used to be…

I love this toaster! Beautiful design. The bagel feature is wonderful, as is the keep warm feature. The lift-up lever is great, too. This toaster toasts my bread much faster than my old one.

The size is very compact and good. And the style is equally charming.

Love this toaster, it’s fast, efficient and extremely attractive, even has a little tray on the side to dump the crumbs, great purchase!

I really like the defrost-to-toast feature. I keep bread, English muffins, etc, in the freezer and the toaster defrosts and toasts perfectly. I also like the fact that the toast can be crispy, not simply warm bread. Cleanup is a breeze given the easily accessible crumb tray. To top it off, the unit is stylish and adds color and style to the kitchen.

I bought this over a month ago and am very pleased with how it works and that it’s the nicest looking toaster I’ve ever owned. It is consistent with everything I toast, but be sure to use less time with dryer breads. It is very easy to burn dryer bread types so use setting 2 versus 4 accordingly. Pay attention and make some mental notes with your favorite breads.

I bought this because I trust the brand and it looked very retro but cool. There is a learning curve to getting the perfect toast out of this machine you have to play with the dials a bit.

Was a liitle apprehensive after reading some ratings but I have other KitcheAid small appliances and decided to try. I love the features for me. Easy to keep clean with tweens in the house.

I had to return the toaster from Kitchen aid that is priced at about 50 dollars twice. They gladly would have replaced it as it was still under warranty but I asked if I could upgrade. Although it cost me another 30 dollars it is well worth it. The new toaster works quickly, with even toasting and the model weighs about 3 lbs more and feels sturdy.

This has been in my home for a few weeks, we have toasted everything from regular sliced bread, to Bagels, to English muffins. It has worked wonderfully in all cases. The Bagel feature is probably my favorite. We purchased the silver one, which matches are KitchenAid mixer perfectly. It is lightweight yet feels very well made.

I searched for a toaster to suit my needs. This one had excellent reviews which I totally agree with. The toasting functions work great and I like the lever’s ability to lift a smaller piece of toast high for easy removal. It has a up to date look, nice finish and I happen to love the gray color.Buy this one you will not be disappointed!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was excited about the fact that my toast would be toasted. Well even on the highest setting it’s not browning. I have to put it back in and put it to 2. Then it’s done.

My daughter down south in CA. has a 4 slicer toaster, but for me 2 is enough. I liked hers so I told her to get me one.

Been wanting to buy a kitchenaid toaster, and husband got us one for Christmas. Makes toast very fast and perfect each time. Love the bagel and warm selections also.
