Amazon.com Review

Prying a burned bagel from the death-defying grip of a toaster is not a fun way to start your morning--but it happens to everyone sooner or later. With the huge slots on this fancy machine, the chance of that happening is slim indeed. Each of the four slots measures 1-3/4 inches wide by 10 inches long--you won't even have to slice crumpets to have them fit snugly inside. There are seven different temperature settings, including a defroster that improves texture immensely for those frozen waffles and pastries. Two great safety features are the cool-touch sides and the extra-high lift on the bread--toast pops up nearly an inch higher than most toasters, so your fingers stay well away from the heating elements. For cleaning, a crumb removal tray shuts securely enough that you won't have crumbs leaking onto your countertop. --Jill Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Krups Toaster found Hiding on Granite Counter Top, September 13, 2000

I have probably looked at every toaster manufactured on planet earth, trying to find one that is a "bagel friendly", yet looks sleek and low-profile in a kitchen that includes dark granite counter tops, mahogany wood cabinets and black/brushed chrome appliances. The Krups 4-slice toaster in black, is a perfect match. It tucks in nicely against the granite splash, and practically disappears. The narrow width has a much smaller footprint and profile than those clunky retro-looking "square" 4-slice toasters. Toasting two bagles at one time is a dream. So I took the toaster out of the box and set it up on the counter. Husband walks in and makes two comments, "Where's the toaster? and "Ahhh cool toaster". ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the run of the mill toaster, January 6, 2001

What I like about this toaster is that it has two long wide slots as opposed to one so you can put in two slices of home made bread at one time or 4 slices or regular bread or two bagels! We are a family of 4 so this is convenient! No more waiting around the toaster for breakfast!

The thing that is different about this toaster (as the name implies) is that it toasts everything uniquely. Meaning it will need to be set at different settings for white bread, wheat bread, bagels and frozen products. It will also toast 1-2 slices differently than 3 or 4. This isn't a bad thing, but you need to be aware of it because it can be frustrating in the beginning. You burn or undercook a lot of food before you figure this out otherwise! I believe the booklet that comes with it explains this so I would recommend reading the booklet first. Also, do what they say about running it on the highest setting without food in it for a couple of cycles to burn off residue from the factory. It gave off an order in the beginning.

Overall, once you get use to the fact that this isn't your run of the mill toaster, I think you will be very pleased with it.

This is the last purchase I make having forgotten to check Consumer Reports before buying. This toaster only toasts ONE side of the bread! If you turn up the time, it BURNS one side of the bread and lightly toasts the other side. Consumer Reports top rated the KitchenAid KTT570WH 4-Slice Digital Toaster with Bagel, Warm, and Frozen Functions, White, and gave it a best buy rating. Hope this helps!
