Amazon.com Product Description
Combining classic style with modern electronic technology, this all-metal four-slice toaster features extra-wide 1-1/2-inch slots with self-centering racks that accommodate thick bagels, breads, and pastries. The toaster's simple-to-use shade-control knob with dented stops controls toasting levels with precision--turn the knob clockwise for darker toast or counterclockwise for lighter. Extra-thick mica boards hold the heavy-gauge heating elements flat for even browning, while an Even-Heat system with an electronic sensor ensures consistent toasting slice after slice.

For added convenience, the unit offers an exclusive Baker's Bagel function that toasts the sliced side of bagels while gently warming the crust, plus a reheat setting that warms previously toasted items without additional browning. A gentle lift on the Easy Lift lever will cancel the cycle and raise the toast. Other highlights include a cool-touch exterior, a round power cord, under-base cord wrap, and non-marring silicone feet, as well as a full-width dishwasher-safe removable crumb tray. To keep the shiny metal exterior surface looking brand-new, simply wipe with a damp cloth and avoid the use of abrasive cleansers. Available in a variety of fashionable colors, the toaster measures 12-3/5 by 11 by 8 inches and carries a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty.

Customer Reviews

Toasts Evenly
I was wondering if the extra cost was worth it for a toaster. It is possible to buy them cheaper in other places, but the even toasting, the wide slots for bagels (also works well with English muffins), and the sleek stainless steel exterior make it a great value. Just a word of note is the sides of the toaster stay cool while toasting. It was well worth the few extra dollars.

KitchenAid KMTT499SS
Solid well built machine.
Only cons I can think of are: fingerprints and the toasting compartment could be a little deeper since the tops of what is being toasted are right at the upper limit of the machine. McDonald's pancakes stick up and stay cool. This may be an issue with most other units as well?

Works like it should
I am real happy with this toaster. I toasts nicely. The "warm" cycle does what it says, heats the bread back up with only a slight additional toasting. I love the "bagel" setting. One side toasted, the other side heated, with just a light toast. The negative, it does take longer to toast bread, but the resulting product is worth waiting for. I would definitely buy this toaster again and would recommend it to anyone.
