This is a good-looking, easy to clean toaster that gets the job done. Nothing very fancy, but who needs fancy? I just want toast. It misses the five-star rating because even at the highest setting, it takes two cycles to completely toast my husband's thick english muffins. The slots do self-adjust to accomodate really thick breads, though, so that is a plus. The bagel and warming features are handy extras, and the crumb tray is easily removed and cleaned. Overall, I recommend this product.

This is the only toaster I've owned that does its job well, so apparently toasting isn't as easy as it may seem. The range of doneness is perfect for my tastes, the speed is adequate, the uniformity from batch to batch excellent and the evenness of toasting unequaled. I can't agree with taking points off the rating because of size (if it were less high, it wouldn't be deep enough to toast bread evenly to the edges, and if it were narrower, it wouldn't be able to keep cool surfaces while still boasting all metal construction). To me, the only choice would be between this and its four-slice brother (sister?) KitchenAid KMTT400SS 4-Slice Metal Toaster, Brushed Stainless Steel which not only lets you toast twice as many slices at once but also lets you set the two sides to different settings. That model is, in fact, simply two of these joined together in one case.

Does a great job on bagels and bread. Bagel option is great! A bit slow compared to other toasters but does a great job. Very consistent.

All I wanted was a toaster that would do it's job well. I had been through toasters and toaster ovens that would only toast one side of the bread, needed more than one cycle, burn bagels, etc. etc. After some research, I decided to try out this Kitchenaid model and I'm glad I did.

I'm a frequent bagel eater and I find the bagel function to be very handy. It perfectly toasts the cut side of the bagel while warming the other side, which leaves the bagel still perfectly chewy.

The toasting levels are very easy to adjust, just turn the knob, and you have perfect, evenly browned toast. Cleanup is a breeze. Plus, it comes in a variety of colors to suit pretty much everyone out there.

No frills, nothing fancy schmancy....it's just a toaster that does it's job well.

For a toaster this expensive, one might think it would last a few years. NOT! While it was working, it worked very well. Just after the warranty expired, the lever that you press to make it toast decided it would no longer stay down. The toaster still works, but you have to now stand there and hold it the entire time you are toasting something.

I am going back to a less-expensive Black & Decker model. This was not a good experience at all.

The first toaster we have ever had that toasts evenly and to the level you pick with the simple control. It is a dream for bagles as well. it is rated the best by consumer reports and i can confirm that, the best.

The toaster is very good quality and the level of browning is great. Browns both sides at one time--which is a big improvement over some models. No concerns and would recommend to friends.

We needed to replace our toaster and this one works just fine. I researched a number of them. It has a higher wattage than our older one so that it toasts somewhat faster. As mentioned in other reviews, the slots could be a little longer but it works fine for regular toast and bagels. Nice clean design.

We had the KMTT200 for a little over a year when we fianally gave it up. The lever would not stay down; ego, no toast. We did not have the sales receipt so the guarantee would not be good even if we had had it less than a year. We paid about $70.00 for the toaster. We do not use the toaster a great deal, not even weekly and there are no children using it for PopTarts or whatever.
The lever problem had actually existed well before we fianally gave it up, sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not.
I called the KitchenAid service center and was told that the high cost of repair parts made repair inpractical and KitchenAid
no longeer reparied the KMTT200. I was told that KitchenAid would give me a new or rebuilt toaster at 30 per cent off.
I asked why would I buy a toaster at any discount price that would not last even one year, and said good day. I was thanked
for calling KitchenAid and tolded to have a great day.

How difficult is it to make a solid toaster without all the bells and whistles? We selected this toaster for our wedding registry last year. It lasted 16 months. It toasts unevenly. It sucks. Now it doesn't work at all. The only positive I have to say is it looks nice and matches our appliances. We're planning on going with the $15 Proctor and Silex. Stay away from this over-priced unevenly toasted garbage!!!
