Toasted perfectly on my first English muffin. It came out the most beautiful golden brown on toast level 3. In all my years of making toast, I dont think I have ever achieved such a level of satisfaction and definitely not on the first use of a new toaster oven. This is at least the 4th one in my lifetime and its my first KitchenAid toaster oven air fryer. It is also the only brand that I could find not entirely made in China.
