4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but not perfect,
By
This review is from: KRUPS TT6190 2-Slice Digital Toaster, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
Overall I'm pleased with this toaster but it's not perfect. While it toasts evenly and is easy to use, the slots aren't long enough for some breads I've found. These aren't special breads, but normal loaves from the store. This requires me to lay the slice in length-wise and have about 1 inch stick out of the top (not getting toasted). Bagels can be a very tight fit depending on their size (length and width). English muffins toast perfectly, and are easy to remove. Also, as a nitpick, the buttons for the controls have a cheap feel to them when pressed.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Looks good, but not quite perfect,
By Kate (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KRUPS TT6190 2-Slice Digital Toaster, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
This toaster is actually the nicest toaster I have ever owned. I struggled between 3 and 4 stars, but really, it's a toaster. If it doesn't do everything you want, you can't really find something else to compensate.
Pros: Love the digital controls and the timer. Slots are more than wide enough to accept bagels Toasts my bagels and english muffins to perfection Cons: As others mentioned, the slots are not long enough to take longer pieces of bread, like a panini This is the worst for me: the power cord is PAINFULLY short. I don't think it's even 12 inches. If you have a huge kitchen and tons of counter space, you may not see this as a problem. But my kitchen is tiny, and I have a SINGLE outlet to use. Because of the cord's length, I practically have to have this up against the wall (the controls on the side add to this problem, it seems to me every other toaster I have owned has the controls on the front). It's inconvienent, because I have other appliances that stay on my counter all the time, I only take this out for breakfast. Because this cord is so short, I always have to rearrange my counter top every morning. I guess I could get an extension cord or move my blender, but really, why can't Krups put a power cord on this thing that's the same length as the rest of my appliances?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally a proper defrost setting...,
By SM (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KRUPS TT6190 2-Slice Digital Toaster, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I received this toaster as a gift for my birthday two months ago and have been using it every day (often several times per day). For a decade I've been on a yeast-free gluten-free diet which means I have to make my own bread and freeze it. Long ago I had a toaster that would defrost the bread and then toast. It was a great machine until it died. Since then I have gone through quite a few toasters only to discover the 'defrost' is actually just prolonged toasting which basically means my toast comes out burnt, or burnt on the edges and undercooked in the center. The Krups finally gets it right. For the first time in years my toast comes out perfectly and there is the option to just heat the bread without toasting. It's brilliant! You can actually feel the warmth in the defrost cycle, but the elements do not come on until it's toasting time. Other advantages are the simple setting via the digital backlit screen. It's lcd screen and stainless finish are quite stylish and modern. The timer counts down for you so you know exactly how long you've got to go. The slots are wide enough for bagels, hamburger buns and hot dog buns slid in at an angle (and for the bagel setting it only toasts the inner part of the bagel and not the outer if you prefer and that does work great for hot dog/hamburger buns too). Some disadvantages (though they do not apply to my needs) are that the slots are not elongated. So, if you like rye bread or really long slices this toaster may not be adequate. Also, the cord is kind of short which may not be useful to some people. This is not an issue for me since the outlet is directly behind it. Overall, this toaster is highly recommended for anyone who freezes bread and needs a proper defrost and general toasting of regular bread, bagels and buns. Edit - It's now November 2011 and the toaster is still working properly (I'm getting nervous now lol) The printing has rubbed off the buttons, but that's about it at this point. Note that this machine has been used multiple times per day every day since I received it. (I shamelessly live off sandwiches :P ) I notice a lot of newer reviews seem to be unhappy with the unit, so I'm wondering if the production quality changed over time, which does seem to happen all too often these days. Of course when I received the toaster it was also double in price. When this one does go, which will probably be soon considering modern standards of gadgetry, I expect I might try this version again to see how it goes.
