I have been a proud owner of the 2-slice pro-line toaster since 2004. It's built like a tank. It has been made with quality like the KitchenAid mixer that everyone owns. My wife and I use it almost every single day before we go to work and it has given us consistent even toasting for breads and bagles. Not only does it look sharp in our ultra-modern kitchen but it performs better than any toaster I ever owned. What more could we ask? My family recommends it highly!

I have had this 2-slice toaster for about 4 months and stopped using it last week after I bought a $29 Oster as a replacement. Toasting bread with this Kitchen Aid takes about three times as long as a regular toaster. The highest setting (9) takes about 4 minutes to complete, yet toasts come out a little brown but still too soft for my taste (and I like them to be soft inside, not like biscotti!) For the second cycle, though, I have to readjust the setting to about 3-4, then pull down the lever, and finally turn the On/Off knob to turn the toaster on. Too many steps for one slice of bread. All in all, each slice takes about 6-7 minutes to toast. The toaster does look nice and is heavy, which I liked at first when I received it 4 months ago, and the signal it gives when the toasting cycle is complete is nice. But, in the end, who cares about that?? I prefer a toaster that fulfills its main function properly.

I love this toaster! It is so much better then the Cuisinart, that I just threw out. The toast browns very even and I like the fact that it keeps the toast warm untill ready to eat. This toaster is also very heavy duty and will built.
