Product Description

Amazon.com Review

You'll develop a huge crush just on the look of the Krups Chrome Compact Toaster, but you'll really fall in love with its performance. Two extra-wide slots have automatic bread guides to hug store-bought and home-baked breads, bagels, and pastries. Adjust the setting (the quartz heating elements provide even browning) and forget worrying about underdone or burnt breads--in case you want to check, there's a cancel button. The compact cousin of the original Krups Chrome Toaster, the compact model measures just 10 inches along the base to save space. Any extra cord length can be wrapped underneath the tapered body. --Lynne Sampson

2.0 out of 5 stars A few functional problems, December 26, 2000

This review is from: Krups 156-75 2-Slice ToastControl Compact Chrome Toaster (Kitchen)

While this toaster lookd great and has nice features like the re-warming setting, I was not happy with a few things. The cord is very short and did not extend far enough to come out of the appliance garage on my counter. The space where the toast, bagel, etc., pops up is very deep and while it might be good for large items, I had to fish an enlish muffin out with a fork because it does not pop up high enough.

Save your fingers and your money and if you like evenly toasted breads find something else. A loser from the people who make great coffee makers.

This review is from: Krups 156-75 2-Slice ToastControl Compact Chrome Toaster (Kitchen)

This toaster is aesthetically very pleasing to the eye, makes good toast from a variety of different breads, bagles, crumpets and the like. Toasting is fairly even, and the toast remains quite moist which is good. So overall I was pretty happy... until... the underside of the toaster started going rusty, the lip where the chrome folds under. This started happening soon after I bought the toaster, and thought it was just surface rust from moisture in the kitchen, but it looks a bit more serious, probably going to see what Krups say about this. I was replacing my Morphy Richards 1950's toaster with a mordern equivelant, but it doesnt look like it will stay in top condition for 5 years, let alone 50?
