I LOVE this toaster. It looks nice on my counter, even though it's HUGE compared with my old one. My old toaster was a Sunbeam and the beams didn't last long, and the thing never toasted anything evenly. This toaster? Perfection! I have never had a toaster that does bagels like this one; they are perfect; crunchy on the cut side and soft and warm on the outsides. We have used it for cheapo bread, dense sourdough, English muffins, and bagels; it does them all, and does a great job at it.

If there is any drawback to this toaster it might be that it's much slower than other toasters I've had. However, my toasters that were quicker left the toast soggy in the middle and very crispy on the outside. There may be a very good reason for the slow-toasting of this Kitchen Aid as the toast is not soggy in the middle. A hundred bucks is a lot of money for a toaster, but then again, you really do get what you pay for.
