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.

This toaster is elegant and functional, it matches my mixer and blender which I have had for years. I read reviews talking about plastic caps being left inside and plastic smell. The plastic that is inside is heat resistant and is there as a slide to make sure the bread lowers smoothly (rather than metal against metal). I did have a smell the very first time I used the toaster which has always been my experience with new appliances that generate heat, the first use is a burn-in so don’t put bread in it the first time. I love the way this toaster beeps rather than just shooting out toast, how I can check the toast without stopping the toasting cycle, and how it will keep toast warm while I am getting my coffee. My only criticism would be that this toaster has to be facing you from the widest side so it takes up more room on the counter than it would if the controls were on the narrow side.

Okay toaster…. just a few things stand out for me personally –1) Sleek design, but kind of large2) Bulky cord that is difficult to hide behind the toaster3) My much cheaper toaster probably did just as good a job4) Toast cannot be popped up manually

Love the smoothness of this toaster. So easy to clean out the crumbs from the pull out tray.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Good solid construction with straight forward controls & no unnecessary bells & whistles. Sleek design and above all toasts well & consistently. Well designed toasting slots for a variety of items either an English muffin or a thin slice .

I bought this a month ago and could not be happier. Very affordable and all the features I need. Especially love the bagel settings.

This is a stylish toaster that works really well!. It toasts perfectly and allows you to control the level of toasting. It’s expensive for a toaster, but it’s also way more solid than my old one and it looks great In my kitchen, so it’s worth it to me!

This toaster includes different levels depending of how “toasty” my family want their breakfast. It’s a good-looking appliance, but also a good one in quality. Highly recommended.

Even toasting and sleek design fits the bill. Like that it has a bagel setting. Wide enough to accommodate as well. What I like the most is that the controls are placed on the wider part of toaster versus side.

Bought this one to replace a less expensive model. Finally got one I so far have no problems with.

Good looking toaster, easy to see front controls, toast evenly & you don’t have to jamb down the lever to lock it to toast. Nice easy smooth operation.
