According to reviews, the two-slice KitchenAid KTT340 is a solid performer that's easy to clean. It comes in an array of colors, including red, white, black, tangerine and pink, and also has a cord wrap to prevent snarls. This toaster earns above-average marks in professional reviews. Owners report that it's easy to clean, but some complain that it toasts too lightly, and it takes two cycles to get deeply browned toast. If you're looking for a toaster that can toast bread in a range of shades the first time, reviewers suggest the KitchenAid KMTT200 two-slice toaster (*Est. $70). It has a stainless-steel housing, rather than plastic.
