Professional reviewers and users praise the KitchenAid KMTT200 as an excellent two-slice toaster. In professional tests, it consistently delivers crisp, evenly browned toast that is golden yet moist. This toaster is more boxy than sleek, but owners like the metal housing and choice of colored side panels. This 5-pound KitchenAid toaster has self-centering, extra-wide slots, a bagel setting and a dishwasher-safe crumb tray. Several owners point out that the KitchenAid KMTT200 is larger than many basic toasters, so if counter space is at a premium, you may want to consider a compact, inexpensive toaster such as the Proctor-Silex 22605 (*Est. $19).
We read reviews of the KitchenAid KMTT200 two-slice toaster in Fine Cooking, at Amazon.com and at Cooking.com. We are particularly impressed with Fine Cooking's focus on what's really important -- toasting performance -- and their practice of breaking in each toaster by using it a half-dozen times before evaluating it, thereby giving the heating elements a chance to adjust.

Fine Cooking tests 11 toasters, one slice at a time, at each browning setting, then repeats the process by toasting two slices together. Editors toast two slices of bread four times in a row to assess consistency and heat buildup. They also toast bagels, English muffins and artisan bread.
