Breakfast Set Stainless Steel Toaster 4 Slice 1500 Watts 6 Brown Settings, Defrost, Reheat, High Lift Lever Silver, Matte and Chrome

I read a lot of reviews and did a lot of research before buying this toaster. I love it. The toaster itself is very attractive and modern looking. It works like a charm. I read reviews that complained about the length of time it took to toast. I learned many years ago that low quality toasters usually toasted very fast, browning the outside, but not warming the bread product itself through and through. When I started to purchase better quality toasters I learned that they did indeed take a bit longer to toast. The reason being is that they toasted more slowly and at a lower temperature which allowed the bread to be thoroughly heated through, not just browned on the outside. This toaster takes as long as the one it replaced as it too was a high quality toaster. It toasts perfectly evenly on bread, bagels, waffles, etc. I appreciate the reheat feature which allows the bread product to be heated again without getting more toasted. The defrost setting works just as it should and is really very fast. I appreciate the crumb trays which are located in the front at the bottom. They're very easy to keep clean. Also, if you have something that is sitting low in the toaster, simply push up on the lever and your item will be raised enough so you won't have the need to go fishing for it with a knife or fork. This toaster also has a 2 year warranty which is a nice change from the standard one year offered on most products. I would recommend this toaster to anyone. There's not one thing that I would change about it or that I'm not pleased with. Don't forget to do as the manufacturer instructs and run on the highest setting with nothing in the toaster for 2 or 3 times before actually toasting in it.

This is easy to use, looks good and works like you would expect. Do not expect Wolf or similar construction, but looks good and the controls are easy to adjust, hold their level of toasting. Like the reheat function, and cancel function. We have it set on one of the lowest settings to keep from burning toast. Not sure what you would want the higher setting for, anything more than a couple of setting up from the lowest burns toast. But the lowest seems to work well for a medium level of toasting and not burning. I would not return but if choosing again would look again for other options. However not unhappy with this choice.

Four-slice toasters are notoriously slow, because of the power limitation of 110V, 15A supply (I'm originally from the UK, where we use 240V and somehow, along with our European friends who use 220V, haven't all died from electrocution, and where our toasters and electric teakettles don't give you time for a shower and a shave and a lunar cycle before they do their job). This device has a bagel setting, which lowers the power level of the outer pair of elements for each slot pair. This is a silly feature, because the outer elements of each slot pair are actually the strongest. It would be just as effective - and faster - to simply insert your bagels inside out, for the same effect. I don't actually mind that imbalance with regular toast, because I like to butter the darker side of my toast, leaving the other side slightly less brown - it prevents the toast from drying out and cooling off too quickly. The reheat function will warm toast a little if you've been a little slow in putting it out. I use it for gentle warming of Pop-Tarts. The defrost setting works as well as can be expected on frozen bread. An inverter microwave oven (yes, I have one) is really the best thing for defrosting... well, anything, actually, but this toaster will do the job if you don't mind your edges browned slightly... Front side to back side of each slice, the toaster isn't perfectly even, but across each face it isn't too bad: no pictures of Elmo, saints, famous biblical figures or past presidents. Left timer to right timer on my unit is about one click different: enough that it bothers me when I forget, especially when toasting multigrain bread which turns into body armor, or Italian loaf, which dries out, burns and crumbles when over-toasted. Summary: I recommend this product on looks and perfectly reasonable functionality.

I love this KRUPS Breakfast Set! The stainless steel finish gives my kitchen a modern, coordinated look, and each appliance works exactly as you’d hope. The coffee maker brews hot and fast, the toaster delivers even browning, and the kettle heats water in no time. Easy to clean and solidly built—KRUPS really nailed both style and function with this set. Highly recommend if you’re looking to upgrade your morning routine in one go!

Un peu dessus du grille pain, mon vieux Krups de l’a même marque était de loin meilleur. J’ai acheté cette marque justement parce que mon vieux grill pain de plus de 18 ans commençait à avoir des problèmes. Mais lui , il ne grille pas beaucoup,à 5 les toasts sont encore blanches, je dois le mettre presque à 6 pour avoir des toasts grillés, mais je dois le surveiller car les toasts vont brûler. C’est tout ou rien passer 5 . Je me disais que ça pouvait être normal au début, le temps que les éléments est chauffé plusieurs fois. Mais non . Ça reste pareil.

Very pretty toaster. The sides are typical stainless steel and the top and front are mirror-like. As indicated in the instructions, it had a very strong odour the first few runs so we ran without anything it is until that was gone.

Works great, takes a little longer to toast than expected. Good looking on the counter and would recommend to buy

liked most things but it does not darken the toast enough even on the highest setting and the blue lights on the front glares in your eyes when trying to see the settings

Ever since I plugged this in it has easily been the worst toaster I have ever owned. It takes forever to make toast and does not toast evenly. Not only do you have to wait forever for your toast, you then have to turn it around and make it even. Absolutely horrible appliance.
