KitchenAid Pro Line 2-Slice Toaster, Pearl Metallic

Product Description:

The KitchenAid Pro Line, two-slice toaster combines the professionalism and beauty of stainless steel with durable, die-cast metal and a stylish, pearl metallic finish. Operating it is simple: just select the shade level (a choice of nine in all), lower the bread and turn it on. When it's ready, a tone will sound and the toaster will shut off (it will also automatically shut itself off in the event of a mechanical jam). But thanks to KitchenAid's ingenuity, your toast won't get cold - the toasting cavity stays warm until you raise the lift lever. When lifting, the bread rises vertically, not in an arc, so your bread is less likely to tear. Other features include wide and long slots for thick bagels or specialty breads, a dishwasher-safe, removable crumb tray and an under-the-base cord storage wrap. The KitchenAid Pro Line series offers a complete and coordinated suite of premium countertop appliances that showcases your passion for the culinary arts. With just one glance, you'll realize there's nothing quite like this series. The stunning design artfully blends the authenticity of commercial appliances with a softness that's more inviting in home kitchen environments. Beyond its extraordinary design, this series provides an exceptional level of performance that represents the very best from KitchenAid.

Toast Lover!2006-08-16
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.
Pro Line is the Worst!! DO NOT BUY!2005-12-14
The Kitchen Aid Pro Line line of products are absolute garbage. When I got my kitchen remodeled I wanted to buy all new, all high-end kitchen counter appliances. I thought (and still do think) that the Pro Line is the best looking line of appliances. My praise stops there.

I started with the coffee maker which I returned within 1 week. The maker made good enough coffee but 1) I had to pull the maker out from under my cabinets to make coffee as it released soooooo much steam and 2) as the steam rose up the side of the machine the condensation would drip down the side leaving a nice puddle of water for me to clean up. An absolute mess.

At the same time I bought the Pro Line coffee maker. From the outset it was a bit messy as whenever you pull out the glass jar, grounds fall everywhere. I forgave it that flaw as again I was swayed by the look. I realized that after having it for awhile and looking a lot closer at it that it had hairline cracks throughout the entire painted part of the appliance. I have it out of the way on the counter so you can't see the flaws in the paint.

The third and last appliance I bought was the 4 slice toaster. My mother had a $15 Toastmaster for 20 years that performed better than this piece of junk. From day one I found the toasting to be uneven and definitely not delivering toast worthy of the price I paid for the appliance. I've had the machine just over 2 years now and over the last 2 months the "off/on" dial on one side of the toaster has begun to not always turn on (or off) when turned. It takes a few times of turning. Additionally, two weeks ago a simple lift of the toast lift lever resulted in the black plastic handle snapping in two. I now have a lovely sharp shard of plastic protruding from the machine.

I shop a lot on Amazon and definitely read reviews, but never feel compelled to write one. This is my first review ever and I write it to save other consumers the nightmare that has been the last 2 years with Pro Line. I continue to see the expansion of the line and look longingly at the waffle maker, blender, etc. Yet nothing will ever sway me again to buy anything in this Pro Line. Save yourself the trouble - do not buy!!!!

Consistent toast2004-10-30
For those who cannot live without toast (and marmalade), the cost of a toaster becomes less material than the results it produces. Sure you can buy a tosater for $30, but will it treat your bread in an appropriate manner?
The Kitchen Aid Pro Line is a solidly made piece. I bought it to replace a Dualite that had for years produced spotty toast (even Pain Poulaine) and managed to consistently trap bread underneath its lifter levers. People asked how I could replace the Queen's toaster with this one - well maybe the Queen has someone selecting the good pieces of toast from the Dualite.
This is a nice toaster and if bread is important to you - worth the money.
