bit-tech Shopping: KitchenAid Black 2-Slot 2 Slice Toaster - KTT340OB

Rating: 10

Time with product: 2 Days

Strengths: Toasts evenly!!

Weaknesses: This has been a pet-peeve for every toaster I have ever owned - crumbs cannot fall straight through so so accumulage will happen along the sides (inside).

Summary: Cool to the touch. Nice finish - even if it is plastic. Little wider than other two slot toasters but not bulky. Does what it is designed to do - toasts! Works well on bagels - make sure to press the bagel button on the front. Warm funtion works well but I don't know how long it will warm bread - guess what really matters is you wait for a little while finishing / preparing your breakfast, etc before munching on warm bread. Stuffed an English muffin in it and toasted perfectly. Has a very high lift so getting the english muffin out was easy. I like this toaster - $40.85 delivered - Jan 2008.
